# What this is
GayNYCDad is hosting a giveaway for an Xplora kids smartwatch. The model offered is the XGO3, which has a listed regular retail price of $129.99. The post frames the watch as a simpler alternative to giving a child a smartphone — a device for basic communication and location without open social media or internet access.
# Who the watch is for
The XGO3 is described as designed for younger children, roughly ages 4 to 6. It provides calling and chat functions, activity tracking, GPS location, and an SOS button. The watch supports voice notes, emojis, pictures, and quick pre-determined messages that work only with parent-approved contacts.
These features are presented as useful for families whose children walk or bike to school, or who spend time in the neighborhood without a phone. The post's author notes personal preference for delaying a smartphone and suggests a device like the XGO3 is a middle option for early independence.
