The Sekyo Turbo is a pretty bold-looking smartwatch which will immediately capture the attention of children. However, the watch is bit bulky and comes with a soft plastic strap.
There is a home button on the right that helps you navigate and a simcard slot on the left. The watch face itself can be opened towards you like a flap to reveal the charging port where the magnetic charger can be yoked.
Sekyo is a company that has been making trackers for everything from pets to vehicle fleets. And a lot of that learning shows in how they want to keep an eye on children too. So the watch has a 4G SIM slot which means it does not need to be connected to a smartphone at all times.

And they can use the watch like a phone and call any saved number.

Specifications
The UI of the smartwatch is a bit tacky. The layout and navigation are easy to manage. Children can use the camera on the smartwatch to capture moments, which is an interesting aspect.
However, kids may feel agitated as watch is bulky in size.
The Sekyo Turbo uses a magnetic port at the back of the watch face for charging. This means the flap-like part has to be opened every time to charge the watch, which is a bit awkward and could result in some damage over time.
The best part of the gadget is that it does not require often charging, as the charge lasts close to three days each time. The watch works with both iOS and Android but seems to be better off paired with the latter.
Price
Skeyo Turbo 4G smartwatch comes with a price tag of Rs 7,999 with 4G connectivity, video and voice calling and real-time tracking, with all these specifications, a bit of discomfort can be okay.
