Vodafone teams with Disney for Neo smartwatch for kids, features Baby Yoda and more

Vodafone and Disney have partnered to create the Neo, a smartwatch for kids.

Available from early 2021, with pre-registration now live, the watch sports a child-friendly design, Vodafone tech and a host of Disney characters throughout its features and apps, including The Child (Baby Yoda), Minnie Mouse, Darth Vader and Iron Man.

Indeed, characters from across multiple Disney-owned properties will be part of the Neo experience, including favourites from Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and, of course, Disney's own movies.

• What order should you watch all the Star Wars films and shows?
• What order should you watch every Marvel movie and TV show?

Tech features will include a front-facing camera, activity tracker, plus calling, chat and video messaging. A parent can keep track of everything that is installed and goes on with the watch through the Vodafone Smart App installed on his or her own phone. This includes assigning trusted contacts, who will be the only contacts able to call or message the watch.

Screen time can also be managed, as well as track the device's location.

Also on the Neo itself is a calendar, where parents can set events and reminders. Weather information is included too.

A kid can set their own sidekick from the varied cast of characters to guide them through watch features, while new characters and experiences will be available to add at a later date for no extra charge.

The Vodafone Neo smart kids watch will be available from early 2021 for £99 upfront on a £7 per month plan over 24 months (or £12 per month over 12 months). You can pre-register your interest right here.
