Cosmo's Highly-Anticipated JrTrack 5 Breaks New Ground for Kids Smartwatches
New cutting-edge GPS capabilities, integrated family messaging features, and parental controls mark a leap forward for kids technology
DENVER, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cosmo, the company pioneering a new generation of purpose-built technology for families, announced breakthrough innovations in parent-child communication and safety today with the release of its JrTrack 5 Kids Smartwatch.
Powered by Cosmo's new HaloGPS, leveraging a dedicated, state-of-the-art location positioning chip and aGPS technology, JrTrack 5 offers a 92% increase in location lock speed and pinpoint accuracy up to 5 feet. When used in all-new Active Tracking mode, parents get real-time, rapid location updates from their child's watch while consuming less battery, providing a new level of peace of mind and confidence to encourage real-world exploration for kids.
"More than 80% of families purchasing a kids smartwatch told us GPS was the most important feature for everyday use," said Russell York, Cosmo's Founder and CEO. "We looked at other kids devices in the market, from Apple to Google, and saw a performance gap that we could fill and that families need – namely precise, real-time location tracking in a device that delivers on all-day performance."
JrTrack 5 also offers enhanced family messaging capabilities that make connecting a child with their friends and family easier and safer. Parents now have access to text message oversight, which allows them to review texting activity with approved contacts. This feature is available via Cosmo's all-new Parent Insights Dashboard which shows key information like device usage data, call logs, and plan management all in one place. JrTrack 5 also comes with seamless voice-to-text and predictive text for kids, alongside family-safe group texting and an upgraded keyboard.
"There are a lot of kids' watches in the market, but not a lot of great technology – we know parents are looking for a powerful tool they can trust as their child navigates the complexities of modern childhood," said York.
Timed perfectly for back-to-school season, JrTrack 5 is packed with everyday essentials and customizable features, including:
All-new Focus Mode with flexible parental controls
eSIM technology for seamless & reliable calling & messaging
Optional kid-ready, parent-managed apps, including Spotify music
A smaller, kid-friendly form factor
Best-in-class safety features, including SOS alerts, optional 9-1-1 calling, GPS SafeZones, location history, and more
Certified IP68 durability and water resistance up to 5 feet
All-day battery performance
Highest-level data security and firewalled protection against internet access and social media
Taken together, JrTrack 5 sets a new standard for bespoke family technology built with the singular mission of helping parents raise happy, healthy, adventurous kids. Following the breakout success of Cosmo's prior generation JrTrack 4 – an Amazon best-seller – JrTrack 5 continues Cosmo's tradition of delivering functionality with best-in-class performance that has made JrTrack the go-to smartphone alternative for families.
JrTrack 5 is now available for purchase at and on Amazon at an MSRP of $149.99 plus monthly or prepaid plans ranging from $9.99 equivalent (prepaid) to $17.99/month for Cosmo Mobile service with unlimited talk, text, and data. To learn more about Cosmo and the new JrTrack 5, please visit
