Looking for the best kids smartwatch? Cosmo's JrTrack 5 delivers safety and independence
There's a moment in every parent's life when they're posed the question: "Can I walk to school alone?" It hits like a milestone and a mini panic attack all at once. They're growing up and, if you're honest, they're probably ready for a little more independence. But in a world full of whatifs, letting go - even a little - can feel like a leap. We're parenting in a time when safety and connection feel more entangled than ever. Smartphones seem like too much, but walkie-talkies certainly aren't enough. And while we want to raise confident, capable kids, we also want to know exactly where they are (and who they're talking to). For too long, there simply hasn't been a good solution to that problem for parents. But in recent years, a new generation of tech has taken on the challenge of how to offer connection without the overload. We're talking modern devices designed intentionally for kids with companion parental controls that carve out a new space between so-called "dumb phones" and smartphones - and the Cosmo JrTrack 5 kids smartwatch ($149.99, is one of the industry's most thoughtful takes yet. With COSMO, parents and kids get the perfect blend of basic connection along with simple but impressive features that deliver fun and safety all in one. It looks like a regular watch (and yes, they'll think it's "sigma"), but it's quietly built with families in mind. It offers real connection without internet rabbit holes or TikTok brain fog; just enough freedom for them and just enough oversight for you. So how does it work? Let's just say it's not your average smartwatch. Finding balance between freedom and peace of mind Letting kids explore a bit more means parents juggle the excitement of growing independence with a healthy dose of worry. Smartphones can overwhelm with distractions and risks, while simple devices - like dumbphones - often don't feel enough. COSMO's JrTrack 5 finds the best balance we've seen yet. From real calling and messaging plus parent approved contacts, to surprisingly advanced precision GPS tracking and distraction-free lock modes, it finds the sweet spot for kids ages 6-12. A standout feature on JrTrack 5 is the ability for parents to customize the device by selecting from additional app options, including Spotify and Spotify kids. Next-gen safety with advanced precision GPS tracking and SafeZones One of the JrTrack 5's biggest strengths is its best-in-class location tracking. While other kids wearables rely on standard chipset location tracking or bluetooth (like FindMy), JrTrack 5 breaks new ground with a state-of-the-art dedicated GPS chip that puts the power of over 100 GNSS satellite signals at parents' fingertips. It's called HaloGPS and it delivers precision accuracy and faster location lock (up to 92% faster in fact!) for the peace of mind parents need. With HaloGPS, Parents can also turn on Active Tracking mode to monitor their child's location in real time during transit or play. This feature stands out from other devices, allowing parents to see their chid's real-time movement updated every few seconds on the map. It's the kind of peace of mind that empowers real-world confidence. Buy now Smarter messaging, more connection, more control Connection is at the core of why many parents reach for a kids smartwatch, and JrTrack 5 delivers the best features here we've seen. With the JrTrack 5, kids can send and receive two-way messages with real SMS/MMS for sharing text, pictures, audio messages and even short videos. JrTrack 5 even supports group messaging as long as all contacts are on the child's approved contact list. JrTrack 5 also supports text message review so parents can view conversations on their child's watch from the app for that extra layer of insight. Take away the complexity of social media and internet browsing, and add in the ability to pre-approve contacts so there's never any spam calls and every conversation can stay safe and straightforward. No wonder parents are saying "yes, please!" Designed to withstand everyday life Kids aren't gentle with their gear, but JrTrack 5 has you covered. With IP68 certification, it's resistant to water, dust, and dirt, and ready for splashy puddles, sprinklers, or playground rough-and-tumble. JrTrack 5 also has all-day battery life with standard use and cellular connection (something the Apple Watch can't even match). Plus, a front-facing camera lets kids snap photos or record short videos, adding a bit of fun without overcomplicating things. Optional apps and parental controls including Spotify This feature is a favorite of ours. Unlike other kids smartwatches, the JrTrack 5 is the only kids' device offering safe access to apps like Spotify Kids, as well as other options from simple games to kids news. It's fully parent-controlled via Cosmo's App Station where parents can add or remove access and even set app-by-app time limits. That means children can enjoy their favorite tunes or other features without worrying parents about inappropriate content or ads. Just Sing 2 and Dance Monkey on repeat. Focus Mode for distraction-free school times The question of phones in schools has caused a lot of conversation of late. That's why we love Cosmo's take with the perfect balance of distraction-free connection that both educators and parents can love. With JrTrack 5, parents have access to flexible Focus Modes to enable full or partial lock settings to keep kids focused on the moment while ensuring they stay safe. While in Focus Mode, kids can still trigger SOS alerts, ensuring safety is always just a tap away. Best-in-class safety features built for peace of mind Maybe the most reassuring features of the JrTrack 5 are the SOS alert and emergency calling features. If a child ever feels unsafe or needs urgent help, activating SOS immediately sends an alert to guardians; the watch also has the ability for parents to enable optional 911 calling when kids are ready. It's a direct line for emergencies and starts putting safety in their hands as they age up. Flexible plans, seamless setup, smart coverage Last but not least, reliable connection matters when it comes to connection for kids. JrTrack stands out with its flexible 4G LTE nationwide network allowing connection across multiple carrier towers, as well as calling coverage across the US, Canada, and Mexico. That's right, no need to mess with your existing carrier plan, setup is simple and stand-alone Cosmo Mobile plans are reasonably priced for families with flexible monthly plans or extra savings with prepaid plans. Whether your child is just starting elementary school or heading toward middle school, this smartwatch stands above the rest as the go-to option for step-by-step connection, safety, and confidence.

Trump warned he would have to sell Mar-a-Lago, setting off ‘second-tier' rant against ally Hawley over stock bill
Sen. Josh Hawley is explaining why President Donald Trump went nuclear and attacked him for his bill that would ban elected officials from trading stocks. On Wednesday, Trump attacked Hawley, a Republican ally from Missouri, calling him a 'second-tier' senator after the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee passed his legislation to ban members of Congress and other federal elected officials as well as their spouses from trading stocks. Hawley spoke to Business Insider' s Bryan Metzger and The New York Sun's Matt Rice and said that other Republican senators told Trump that the president would need to sell his Mar-a-Lago property under the legislation. 'What he said is that he had a number of people call him and say that the bill had been changed at the last minute to force him to sell Mar-a-Lago and his assets, which is, of course, totally false,' Hawley said, adding: 'It exempts them.' The legislation would only require members to sell their stocks when their next term began, which Chairman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) criticized during deliberation of the bill, since he said it should also apply to Trump. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) also criticized the legislation and tried to include a stipulation to investigate former House speaker Nancy Pelosi 's stock trading. That meant that the legislation passed through committee with Hawley being the only Republican who supported the legislation. 'When we walked through the text of the bill, he was like 'oh, okay,'' Hawley said. 'And I said 'your assets are all protected. I mean, it doesn't apply. It applies to the next president.' So, yeah. He finished by saying 'you're exonerated Josh, we love you.'' Members of both parties ardently support legislation banning members from trading stocks. Sens. Elisabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.) all support some version of it. In the House of Representatives, Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) support similar legislation. But it has failed to get off the ground for many years. Hawley had sought to entice Republicans to support his bill by calling it the PELOSI Act. It was later renamed the HONEST Act and Pelosi, who still serves in the House of Representatives, later came out in favor of it. 'The HONEST Act, as amended, rightly applies its stock trading ban not only to Members of Congress, but now to the President and Vice President as well,' she said. 'I strongly support this legislation and look forward to voting for it on the Floor of the House. Despite the fact the bill made it out of committee, it will likely not make it to the floor of the Senate any time soon. The Senate will break for recess after this week. And when Congress returns, it will have to pass spending bills to avoid a shutdown. In addition, the Senate is going into overtime to move through Trump's nominations.

Stocks rocked by tariffs and weak US jobs data
The FTSE 100 sank on Friday after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on dozens of trading partners, and weak US jobs data fuelled concerns as to the strength of the US economy. The FTSE 100 index closed down 64.23 points, 0.7%, at 9,068.58. The FTSE 250 closed 263.49 points lower, 1.2%, at 21,699.34, and the AIM All-Share closed down 4.34 points, 0.6%, at 757.16. For the week, the FTSE 100 fell 0.6%, the FTSE 250 was down 1.9% and the AIM All-Share lost 2.6%. The Bureau of Labour Statistics said nonfarm payrolls grew by 73,000 in July, shy of the FXStreet-cited consensus of 110,000. It was also short of the 147,000 initially reported for June. However, June's number was sharply revised downwards to just 14,000. What is more, May's reading was lowered to 19,000 from 144,000. June's reading now represents the weakest month for the US labour market in four-and-a-half years. The last reading that was weaker was in December 2020, when 183,000 jobs were lost, according to BLS data. The unemployment rate edged up to 4.2% in July from 4.1% in June, as expected. 'This was an unexpectedly weak report,' said Kathleen Brooks, at XTB. 'Tariffs have yet to meaningfully kick in, so the fact that job growth has been anaemic at this early stage is worrying,' she added. 'A new narrative about the US economy is emerging. It is one where the labour market is rapidly softening, where wage growth remains strong, which could pressurise corporate margins down the line, and where the US economy needs interest rate cuts,' Ms Brooks added. ING said the 'huge downward revisions to May and June' have put 'a completely different light on the health of the US economy', reigniting the prospect of imminent US rate cuts. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged despite two officials voting for a cut. On Friday, in similar statements outlining their dissents, Federal Reserve vice chair for supervision Michelle Bowman and governor Christopher Waller argued that the inflationary effects of Mr Trump's tariffs were temporary and that the central bank should focus on fortifying the economy to avert further economic weakening. Both Ms Bowman and Mr Waller were appointed by Mr Trump, who has repeatedly lambasted Fed chairman Jerome Powell for not cutting rates. The jobs shock added to the already downbeat market mood after Mr Trump reignited the trade war, hitting dozens of US trading partners with tariffs. Mr Trump raised tariffs on Canada to 35%, India was hit with a rate of 25% and Switzerland with 39%. The tariff rates for 92 nations range from 10% to 41%. Mexico received a reprieve with a 90-day extension, while China faces a separate deadline of August 12. However, in a minor reprieve that opens the door to further negotiations, the White House said these measures will take effect on August 7, not Friday as previously expected. Russ Mould, at AJ Bell, said investors have been 'caught off guard', having previously hoped Mr Trump would 'kick the new tariff levels down the road'. In Europe on Friday, the CAC 40 in Paris tumbled 2.9%, while the DAX 40 in Frankfurt slid 2.7%. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.4%, the S&P 500 was 1.6% lower, and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 2.1%. The US jobs data put the US dollar on the back foot while bond yields tumbled. The pound rose to 1.3247 dollars late on Friday afternoon in London, compared with 1.3230 dollars at the equities close on Thursday. The euro traded at 1.1538 dollars, higher against 1.1442 dollars. Against the yen, the dollar was trading lower at 148.12 yen compared with 150.48 yen. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was at 4.24%, trimmed from 4.34%. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury was at 4.81%, narrowed from 4.87%. In London, pharmaceutical stocks weighed on the blue-chip FTSE 100 index after Mr Trump demanded that drug companies lower prices for American consumers. GSK fell 1.2% and AstraZeneca dipped 1.8%. 'Widespread share price declines among pharma stocks are the market's way of saying it doesn't like the prospect of Trump effectively declaring war with the sector,' said Mr Mould. Faring better were Pearson and Melrose, up 6.3% and 4.9% respectively. London-based publisher of digital and virtual learning materials Pearson raised its dividend and said it is on track to deliver guidance, expressing confidence in stronger growth in the second half of the year. Chief executive Omar Abbosh said: 'We are making rapid progress with bringing AI-powered products to market and are scaling and enhancing our enterprise business with a range of new partnerships and deals.' Aerospace engineering company Melrose said all of its end markets were growing structurally amid rapidly increasing demand in the defence sector, as it increased its dividend amid a swing to profit. The Birmingham-based company reported pre-tax profit of £379 million in the first half of 2025, swinging from a loss of £105 million. Adjusted pre-tax profit climbed 22% to £248 million from £204 million. But IAG fell 1.6% despite a strong performance in the first half of 2025, with the British Airways owner expecting 'good earnings growth and margin progression' for the full year. Brent oil was quoted lower at 69.78 dollars a barrel in London on Friday, down from 71.11 dollars late on Thursday. Gold firmed to 3,349.92 dollars an ounce against 3,292.45 dollars. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Pearson, up 67.5 pence at 1,140p, Melrose Industries, up 25.2p at 537.4p, Fresnillo, up 39p at 1,439p, Unilever, up 122p at 4,530p and British American Tobacco, up 85p at 4,125p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Intertek, down 338p at 4,602p, Weir, down 162p at 2,504p, Rentokil Initial, down 19p at 360.5p, Anglo American, down 89p at 2,059p and Barclays, down 15.3p at 356p. Monday's local corporate calendar has half-year results from shipping and offshore services provider Clarkson. Later in the week, half-year results are due from oil major BP, Guinness owner Diageo and life insurance firm Legal & General. The global economic calendar on Monday has US factory orders data.
