Smartwatch was once an "essential" accessory for the technology industry. However, the wearable device market has declined in the past year and will also become even smaller. According to foreign media reports, the German federal network agency has banned the sale of children's smart watches in the country.

Smart watches for children are nothing new. Some different companies have already sold smart watches with basic functions to children, such as simple phone calls and GPS tracking. These functions are usually controlled through applications downloaded on parents' mobile phones.

However, the security risks that these features may bring are also exposed. As early as last October, the Norwegian Consumer Council found that some children's smart watches do not encrypt the data they store or send to their parents' mobile phones. This will bring some security risks to children wearing devices.

Due to the lack of encryption technology, hackers can easily invade smart watches, which may make it easier for those who are mourning to trace a child. In other words, they can easily find a child with a smart watch and then imitate the device so that they can send wrong location information to parents.

Other features also pose privacy risks. Some children's wearable devices use a microphone so parents can hear the child's environment. Jochen Homann, chairman of the German Federal Network Agency, stated that watches using this function should be considered as "an unauthorized transmission system" on the grounds that some parents listened to the teacher through the children's watch in the classroom and the teacher did not know about it. .

For these reasons, the German federal network agency has completely banned children's smart watches and urged parents with such smart watches to immediately discard them.
