The smartwatch’s location and activity can be accessed easily in their app though the location is deleted after 24 hours and activity data is deleted after a maximum of 35 days. The contacts saved by the parent can only call and message the device. Apart from games the customizable creatures Eejies also motivate kids to move, play, and be healthy. This creature gets more healthy and happy the more kids reach their movement goals. This creature’s look can further be customized through earned tickets through movement. This smartwatch comes with six collectible bands that are just not a band because as soon as a kid attaches a band its built-in technology unlocks different items, styles, rooms, and Noodles.
