Since the concept of tablet computer for children has been gradually accepted, wearable devices will gradually enter the children's market in the future. With the younger generation of parents and the accelerating pace of life, parents' inability to accompany their children has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. At the same time, the safety of children has gradually attracted the attention of all sectors of society. It has become an urgent need to alleviate "children's problems" with wearable devices.
Recently, Sogou Technology has developed a children's electronic product called Sugar Cat, adhering to the product orientation of "Baby Growth Partner", and as a parent-child interactive intelligent hardware, let's have a look at its performance.

Unpacking
▲ Traditional square packaging, thick paper, quite tough and simple.
▲ The front is printed with a picture of a sugar cat watch. Kawaii's appearance is full of childlike happiness.
▲ The front style elements continue around the packaging box, and the lovely logo is easy to attract children's eyes.
▲ On the back is the card style six product features and simple product information.
▲ A layer of cushion sponge is attached to the upper cover to avoid damage to the watch during transportation.
▲ Open the package, the sugar cat will lie in the support, and the internal support is all folded from ingenious paper shells, and the data cable, power adapter and other accessories are also hidden inside.
▲ There is also a paper box randomly presented, which contains the product manual, product ID, certificate of conformity and two sugar cat themed stickers in different colors.
▲ As one of the children's favorite "toys", stickers have captured children's pain points very well.
▲ Present a family portrait, including sugar cat children's smart watch, data cable, power adapter, instructions, removal tools, and backup screws.
Product details
▲ At the first sight of Sugar Cat, Sogou's lovely design route is at a glance.
▲ Compared with the products of the same type on the market, the dial of Sugar Cat is larger. The whole dial looks shiny. Its effect is the same as that of the bright diamond film on the mobile phone, which instantly improves the product grade, and the shiny "toy" is more popular with children.
▲ The whole watch has only one physical button. Although the function of the shoulder is not complex, it plays an important role in activating the watch and recording messages.
The side keys are different from those of ordinary watches on the market. They are made of food grade liquid silica gel. In human terms, they are the same as those of pacifiers. From the details, we can see that Sogou attaches great importance to children's safety.
▲ There is a sound outlet on the right side of the dial, which is a large-area hole. The specially designed super small speaker ensures the sound height.
▲ There are five charging contacts and product ID information on the back of the watch body. Compared with similar products, the main body of the Sugar Cat watch is biased. The official claims that it has built-in explosion-proof batteries. Maybe this is the real reason for the bias.
▲ The charger interface is not our common MicroUSB interface charger, but a magnetic charging port. Its advantage is that the charging interface can be automatically adsorbed near the back of the watch, without manual access, and the user experience is better. This is also the charging method used by many smart watches.
▲ There is no need to distinguish the direction between the charging interface and the base, and the positive and negative charging can be normal.
▲ There is a pair of ears above the dial. Whether it is an ordinary watch or a children's smart watch of other brands, the ear shape of Sugar Cat is a highlight.
▲ Surprise is far more than that. The ears of the sugar cat can be changed freely, which can make the sugar cat instantly become a kitten, a dog, a bear, a devil... The free change of appearance adds more interest to children. However, it is precisely because of the replaceable factors that the connection between the ears and the surface of the sugar cat is not firm and there is a risk of loss.
▲ Sugar Cat uses a food grade skin friendly silicone strap (Dow Corning food grade liquid silicone rubber), which is anti allergic and highly antibacterial. The watch has a super soft and delicate feel, which is more suitable for children's delicate skin. To use the words of a mobile phone brand spokesman, it is "really cool".
▲ There are many bumps on the back of the wrist strap, which can effectively prevent the watch from slipping and increase the comfort of wearing.
▲ Sugar Cat is specially designed for preschool children aged 3-10, with a wide audience. In order to meet the wearing needs of different children, Sugar Cat has designed three wrist strap buckles.
▲ The clasp of the wrist strap is made of metal and connected with a special hexagon screw, which increases the firmness.
▲ Replacement of wrist strap buckle requires the help of the hexagonal screwdriver provided with the machine.
▲ The hexagonal screw shows a certain degree of professionalism, but if the special screwdriver is accidentally lost, it brings certain limitations to the replacement of the wrist strap buckle. This design has both advantages and disadvantages, which needs to be weighed by the user.
▲ The buckle is magnified, and the front of the metal buckle is a cute shape of a pig. The huge buckle increases the firmness of the watch. Even in the state of crazy play, the buckle will not loosen.
Function display
▲ The dial is not equipped with a screen, but a pair of large "eyes". When the eyes light up, different functions can be achieved by clicking different parts.
(Power display)
(Signal display)
▲ The side key activates the watch. Double click the lower left or right corner of the face to trigger the display of electricity and signals.
Although the lightweight design without screen is adopted, the time display function is not ignored. Click between the eyes, the sweet cat's cute voice will tell the time, which is more direct for children than the time display.
▲ It is children's nature to play with water. The waterproof grade of Tangmao smart watch is IP65, which can basically meet children's washing hands, playing with water and other situations at ordinary times, saving the trouble of frequently picking up watches.
▲ When the side key activates the watch, you can also interact with the sugar cat by touching different areas of the face. With a pair of big eyes, the cute and childlike design idea continues here.
Sugar Cat has a built-in mini sim chip, which can realize voice intercom wherever there is a mobile phone signal. Press and hold the side key to record messages.
After two days of hands-on trial, there is still one grid (three full grids) left so far. The official statement is: standby for 100 hours, continuous chat for 3 hours, and continuous real-time positioning for 5 hours. The standby time is twice longer than that of similar products. From the trial situation, Sogou did not falsely report parameters.
Software APP
▲ It supports both iOS and Android platforms.
▲ Support common third-party login such as QQ and Sina Weibo, which saves tedious registration steps.
▲ To access the software for the first time, you need to edit your personal data.
▲ Manual binding of sugar cat watch and fool like guiding operation is undoubtedly a great benefit for Xiaobai users.
▲ The traditional Bluetooth or wireless network connection mode is abandoned. In order to improve the security, it is necessary to manually scan the two-dimensional code of the product to scan the connection. Although it is somewhat cumbersome, Sogou has made some trade-offs in terms of simplicity and security.
▲ After successfully adding sugar cat, you can easily edit your baby's personal information.
▲ Animated main page, lovely style elements. There are three card like function options at the bottom of the page.
▲ Officially, the product combines the hybrid positioning technology developed by Sogou Maps, which works through both hardware efficiency and software algorithm. According to the actual measurement, the positioning effect is good. By default, the location of parents and children is displayed in the map, which can be switched by clicking the icon in the lower left corner.
▲ The chat function is very similar to the voice function of WeChat. The popular operation mode reduces the operating threshold.
However, in the actual test, if multiple watches are bound at the same time, voice messages cannot be sent selectively. By default, group voice communication. If the watch end does not answer the message in time, it will be forced to remind at intervals (with an interval of more than ten seconds).
▲ At the watch end, you can press and hold the side key to send the recording message to the mobile phone that has bound the watch. Similarly, you cannot send it selectively. Sogou will carry out the group voice communication to the end.
▲ As an intelligent hardware for parent-child interaction, Sugar Cat has three game roles: performer, sharpshooter and magician. Babies at home can interact with their family through arm movements.
▲ When starting the game, the watch will also have a corresponding reminder. A pair of "big eyes" will become a "laser gun", increasing the playability.
▲ Each game can choose to interact with different children.
▲ The setting interface is rich, which can realize sugar cat binding and family member management.
▲ In the setting interface, you can view the information of each bound sugar cat watch.
▲ Set the screen brightness and voice size.
▲ One sugar cat can be bound to multiple mobile phones, and parents and other family members can pay attention at the same time; One mobile phone can also be bound to multiple sugar cats, and multiple babies at home can also be competent.
▲ The guidance of common problems reduces some troubles in the use process, and at the same time allows users to have a deeper understanding of sugar cat.
summary
As a kind of intelligent wearable device, smart watches have been recognized by many people for their portability and rich application functions. However, most smart watches on the market are designed for adults, ignoring an important group - children. The emergence of sugar cat has enriched domestic intelligent products.
Compared with the same type of products on the market, Sugar Cat is no longer limited to simple child location tracking and voice dialogue functions, and has added new somatosensory game entertainment functions. It increases the playability of the watch. In terms of materials, Sogou has made great efforts. Dow Corning food grade liquid silicone rubber is comfortable to wear, and even children will not be poisoned by silicone fragments.
However, Sugar Cat is still very young. In terms of product details (ears, hexagon screws, etc.), the software APP is not perfect enough. Problems such as forced group voice and single game need to be improved in the later stage.
