BELLEVUE, Wash.: Just in time for back to school, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is introducing the new SyncUP KIDS Watch 2 — launching online tomorrow, Wednesday July 24. The second generation of the Un-carrier’s signature smartwatch for kids comes loaded with new features including an LED flashlight, Bluetooth and dual cameras for video calling and selfies galore. That’s all on top of the watch’s many safety and security features that parents rely on to stay connected to their kids who aren’t yet ready for a smartphone. And it’s affordable: new and existing customers can pick it up free when adding a SyncUP KIDS watch plan!

Kids’ wearables continue to grow in popularity with many parents opting to buy them over smartphones, especially when it comes to younger children, as a simple solution to stay connected. Today’s parents face so many decisions around how to navigate screen time, social media and technology, and smartwatches like the SyncUP KIDS Watch 2 are a great first piece of tech to unleash kid friendly fun and provide families safe communication — and peace of mind.

“Parenting in today’s digital, mobile age is fraught with challenges. We created SyncUP KIDS smartwatch to help parents with young kids navigate those challenges,” said Clint Patterson, SVP of Product Marketing & Prepaid CMO at T-Mobile. “In this update, SyncUP KIDS Watch 2 incorporates a host of new features, including the most important things parents and kids told us they needed, like real-time location-tracking and new cameras so kids can capture content and video chat with approved contacts. And it’s hard to beat that price: FREE with a SyncUP KIDS watch plan.”
