Meet Samsung's kid-friendly smartwatch experience

We've partnered with popular kids brands to bring 20 new Teacher Approved apps and watch faces to the Kids section of Google Play. Apps with a "Teacher Approved" badge have been rated by educators and children's media specialists on factors like age-appropriateness, quality of experience, enrichment and delight.

These new offerings highlight a range of topics - like math, science, history, music, creativity, emotional well-being and physical activity - in fun, engaging ways:
