As told by Aanya Kapoor, mother of 7-year-old Vihaan
As a parent, you imagine the worst only when you've felt the chill of uncertainty.
And I felt it—just once. But once is enough.
Last winter, Vihaan, my 7-year-old, started walking home alone from the bus stop. It's barely a five-minute walk—wide lanes, familiar houses, even other kids around. Still, I watched him from the balcony each day, just to be sure.
Then one day, he didn't show up on time.
A few minutes passed. Then five. Then ten. I tried to stay calm. Told myself he must've stopped to chat with a friend or tie a shoelace. But when fifteen minutes went by, and he still wasn't home, my chest tightened.
I dialled his number. Nothing. Tried again.
And then, my phone rang.
It was Vihaan—calling from his imoo Z7 Watchphone.
His voice was steady, but I could tell he was nervous: "Mumma, there's a big dog near the gate. I'm waiting at the corner. Can you come get me?"
That moment—his calm voice, the ability to call me, the fact that I could see his exact location on the imoo app—was everything.
It wasn't a crisis. But it could have been. And the difference was this little blue watch on his wrist.
Why Smart Visibility Matters More Than Anything
Before imoo, I used to rely on gut feeling. On hoping the bus was on time. On trusting he'll inform if something felt off.
Now, I have visibility.
The imoo smartwatch for kids with GPS uses five satellite systems to give me precise, real-time updates on where Vihaan is at all times. Whether he's at school, on a playdate, or simply playing in the building courtyard, I'm not left guessing.
The best part? imoo watchphone only allows calls from pre-approved contacts. No unknown numbers. No spam. No worrying about who's trying to reach him.
Safety That Supports Growth
I'm a big believer in raising a child who's independent—but also safe.
Vihaan wears his imoo Z7 everywhere. It's a waterproof kids smartwatch (a blessing for swim days), shockproof, and feels built for his curious, climb-anywhere energy.
He uses it to send silly voice messages to his cousins, and even "bump" wrists with new friends at the park to exchange contacts—securely and supervised.
It's screen time with a purpose. Not passive scrolling, but smart, age-appropriate features that encourage learning and social confidence.
Designed With Us in Mind
I love that the imoo app puts me in control. I can schedule "Class Mode" so it won't buzz during lessons. I can see Vihaan's movement history and get notified if he is feeling unwell.
And all this, with data privacy that's parent-first. imoo is fully GDPR-compliant—something most of the other smartwatches I researched couldn't promise.
Final Thoughts From One Parent to Another
I didn't buy imoo because I expected danger.
I bought it because I hoped I'd never need it—but wanted to be ready if I did.
Now, even when Vihaan starts riding his cycle a little farther… or stays over at a cousin's place… or heads to the park while I finish chores—I don't panic.
Because I know.
Because he can reach me.
Because I can reach him.
imoo is more than a gadget. It's trust on a tiny wrist.
And for a parent like me, that's everything.
