Sekyo, a smart lifestyle technology brand, has introduced the Neo Fit kids smartwatch in India, bundling an on‑device AI learning assistant with health sensors, real‑time GPS and full communication features. The company has priced the device at ₹9,990 and listed it for sale on its official website, Amazon, Flipkart and other e‑commerce partners, with free shipping and a one‑year warranty.
What the watch offers
The Neo Fit attempts to be an alternative to giving younger children smartphones by combining study help, safety features and basic connectivity in a wearable. Core features promoted by Sekyo include:
- AI Learning Coach — voice and image recognition‑based assistance for study, plus seven educational and mathematics games.
- Health monitoring — continuous tracking of heart rate, SpO2 (blood oxygen), sleep, step counts and activity levels, with smart reminders for routine habits such as homework and reading.
- Location and safety — real‑time GPS tracking, geo‑fencing and route history to let parents monitor a child’s movements; SOS alerts with live location sharing.
- Communication — 4G video calling, WhatsApp calling and chat support, and a dedicated parental‑control app that includes a "Find My Watch" function.
- Hardware basics — 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, a 2‑inch HD display, a front camera, pedometer and IP67 water resistance. Colour options listed include Blue, Grey and Pink.
"Neo Fit is our vision of what a kids’ smartwatch can become when technology is designed around the real needs of children and parents. It supports smart AI learning, encourages healthy habits, enhances safety, and keeps families connected — without the distractions of a smartphone," said Smridhi Goyal, CEO & Co‑Founder of Sekyo.
How the AI and sensors matter
Sekyo markets the AI Learning Coach as a feature that uses voice and image recognition to assist study. In simple terms, voice recognition lets the watch understand spoken questions or commands; image recognition refers to analysing pictures — for example, of homework problems — to provide guidance. The feature set also includes small educational games designed to reinforce learning.
The inclusion of health sensors such as heart‑rate and SpO2 monitoring means the device can log basic wellness data. For parents these metrics can help track activity and sleep patterns, but they are not a substitute for medical devices or professional advice.
Trade‑offs: safety, distraction and data privacy
The Neo Fit pitches itself as a way to keep children connected without the open internet and app ecosystem of a smartphone. That can reduce exposure to online content and social media, while preserving voice and video contact. However, the watch still supports WhatsApp calling and chat, bringing many smartphone‑style communication channels onto a wearable.
Devices that collect location, audio, image and health data raise obvious privacy questions. The company says parents manage the device through a dedicated parental‑control app, but buyers may wish to check what data is stored, where it is hosted, how long it is retained, and whether third parties can access it. These are practical concerns families and schools increasingly weigh when authorising wearables for children.

Availability and warranty
Sekyo has made the Neo Fit available immediately through multiple online retailers and its own store, with the company offering a one‑year warranty. The brand is positioning the product as a family‑friendly wearable that aims to reduce reliance on smartphones while keeping children reachable and engaged in learning.
For parents considering such a device, the practical decision will hinge on balancing the benefits of on‑wrist safety and study aids against concerns over data collection, long‑term costs and whether a wearable can truly replace the broader educational and communication functions of a phone. Buyers should review the parental app permissions and data‑handling policies before purchasing.
