myFirst has announced that the myFirst Fone S4, the latest generation of its kid-focused smartwatch, will become available in the United States this month. The S4 is designed for children ages 5–12 as a stepping stone to digital independence, offering a parent-managed introduction to communication and location-based connectivity.
The myFirst Fone S4 is now available at a suggested retail price of $199 through the myFirst WEBSITE and participating retail channels, with special launch promotions and early-buyer offers available for a limited time.
Designed as a child’s first personal connected device, the myFirst Fone S4 helps families introduce digital communication in a structured, guided environment while supporting children as they build early familiarity with connected technology before transitioning to a smartphone.
A Smarter First Step Into Technology
As families consider when to introduce connected technology to children, many are exploring alternatives to traditional smartphones for younger users.
While smartphones offer convenience and connectivity, they can also introduce distractions, social media exposure, unrestricted internet access, and increased screen-time concerns. As a result, some parents are seeking devices that focus on communication, safety, and independence, while allowing greater oversight.
Designed for children ages 5–12, the myFirst Fone S4 operates within a parent-managed ecosystem that prioritizes communication and location awareness. Rather than providing access to app stores or unrestricted social media, it focuses on essential connectivity features that help families stay in touch throughout the day.
Children can communicate with approved contacts through voice calls, video calls, and messaging, while parents can manage settings and view location information through myFirst Circle app.
Helping Kids Build Digital Independence Gradually
As connected devices become a larger part of everyday life, many families are choosing to introduce technology in stages rather than jumping directly to a smartphone.
The myFirst Fone S4 supports this gradual approach by allowing children to practice everyday responsibilities such as checking in with family members, responding to messages, and understanding location awareness within a controlled environment.
For parents, the device provides a way to maintain communication while giving children greater independence in daily activities.
A More Mature and Refined Experience
More Natural, Expressive, and Connected Daily Communication
The myFirst Fone S4 supports multiple ways for families to stay connected, including voice calls, video calls, messaging, and MagicCode, a feature that allows users to communicate through customized vibration patterns.
More Accurate Positioning for Greater Peace of Mind
The S4 features upgraded L1/L5 GPS capabilities designed to provide more accurate location tracking and improved safe zone notifications.
Clearer Everyday Moments With an HDR Selfie Camera
The smartwatch includes a 5MP HDR selfie camera that allows children to capture photos and everyday moments with improved image quality
Larger and Clearer Everyday Interaction Experience
The myFirst Fone S4 features a 1.65-inch AMOLED display (348×443 resolution), the largest among competing kids’ smartwatches currently available in the US market, helping make navigation, communication, and everyday interactions easier for young users.
