At will, children can personalize the display by choosing a ‘sidekick’ from a variety of Disney’s favorite cartoon characters. The included are; Minnie Mouse, Elsa, Buzz Lightyear from ‘Toy Story’, Darth Vader, the Armoured Avenger, and Baby Yoda (Grogu) from ‘The Mandalorian’. According to Vodafone, eventually, the watch will automatically update the new characters from Disney at no extra charge.
With the vision of empowering children to play and grow, Neo comes with an activity tracker and a built-in front-facing 5-megapixel camera which allows the user to capture memorable photos. Parents can stay in touch with their ward via emojis, calls, chat, and video messages (to be added post launch).
