Currently only set to be available in the UK from early 2021, £99.00 and a monthly fee of £7.00 gets you this charming Neo smartwatch from Vodafone and Disney. Along with the usual benefits of a smartwatch, this also brings something called ‘sidekick’ characters, of which Grogu is one, meaning your kids (and let’s be honest, if we could fit it on our wrists we’d get one too) can care for and nurture their very own Grogu Tamagotchi.
Neo is a smart watch that works with the ability to call, receive calls, and track location with GPS. Service is provided by Vodafone – at the moment that means this device is only available in the UK, for people that use Vodafone service.
The most exciting bit of this equation is personalization via Disney sidekick. Per Vodafone, “kids can personalize Neo with their own Disney sidekick who comes to life in the watch.” These “sidekicks” will “make daily activities fun” as they “spring to life through the day.”
Each sidekick has its own set of activities with unique sound effects. Over time, the collection of characters available for use as sidekicks will grow “at no extra charge.”
This watch will be available at first in two colors: Mint and Ocean. The watch is waterproof at a freshwater depth of 10 meters for up to 30 minutes – IP68 rated, not approved for swimming or diving. There’s also a 5MP camera on the side.
