How GPS watches work
GPS stands for Global Positioning System. This is a satellite tracking method for tracking the location of something. That GPS tells you where you are on Google Maps, and helps planes navigate.
GPS watches use the same technology to track the owner’s location in real time. Thus, parents can look at their smartphone and see exactly where their children are.
If the worst has happened and your child is missing, you can immediately track his whereabouts using a GPS watch. Even if the watch has been damaged or removed, you will still have a record of their last location.
