Neo, The Game-Changing Smartwatch, Designed For Kids, featuring Disney.

Vodacom unveils Neo, the game changing smartwatch designed for kids, featuring iconic characters from © Disney. © Disney/Pixar. © & ™ Lucasfilm Ltd. © 2021 MARVEL films.

Vodacom and Disney have combined their respective skills in technology and entertainment to produce a device combining function, style and fun. The result is Neo, the smart watch for kids that connects you with your child – and makes it fun for them. You and your young one can call and chat while they enjoy their favourite characters and emojis and gain a sense of independence as they take their first step into the digital world. 

Neo is packed with Vodacom tech that empowers children to discover, play and grow. A built-in forward-facing camera lets them capture their daily adventures, while the activity tracker logs movement and sets a goal that incentivises them to get physically active with their “buddy” encouraging them along the way. The calendar and weather features also encourage children to interact with the world around them.  

Most importantly, the Neo keeps you connected with your child through calls, chats and emoji’s (even from long distances with the embedded Vodacom SIM).
