School, friends, the tuckshop, practice after school… and you can’t be everywhere. dassie is a friendly smartwatch for your child, and an app for you.
Your child’s school provisions the watch and invites you to the family app. That’s how the school’s rules and your family’s privacy fit together. If your school isn’t on dassie yet, we’ll help you ask.

If they ever need you, one press of the SOS button alerts you straight away. Tap “I’m on it” and their watch shows that help is coming.
Try it: press SOS on the watch.
Hi Thandi!Two watches bump, both parents approve, and the children can chat. No strangers and no surprises.
Send a little voice note to their wrist. Voice notes stay between family and approved friends. The school never hears them.
Chores tick off right on the watch, and calendar reminders mean music practice never gets forgotten.
Set daily, weekly or monthly limits, block the fizzy drinks, and approve an extra treat from your phone. Purchases are paid with the card you’ve already saved in the app.
Try the tuckshop demoYour school can send broadcasts to parents: a note just for your family, your child’s grade, or the whole school. Sports days, early closing, a well done for the class. It all arrives in the dassie parent app.
Please send a hat, water bottle and sunscreen. Well done to Grade 3 on a great week!
Just nowReminder: school closes at 12:00 next Wednesday.
YesterdayThandi’s library book is due back on Monday.
MonEvery dassie watch comes with a built-in eSIM, already loaded. You manage its data in the app, alongside everything else.
The watch arrives ready to connect. There’s no SIM card to buy, insert or lose.
Choose your top-up amount once, and it tops up every month. Top up any time if you need more.
Data is reserved for GPS, so location keeps working even if the everyday data for voice notes runs out.
The watch can join your home Wi-Fi, and the school Wi-Fi when the school allows it.
Add your payment details once. The same card pays for data top-ups and tuckshop purchases.
Try it: move Thandi between school, out and home, and send a few voice notes.
During lessons the school can switch off voice notes, collectables and payments. SOS and GPS always stay on.
Outside the gate, and after school hours, that’s just for family. Health data and voice notes are never shared with the school. And every bit of data stays in South Africa.

Tell your principal. We’ll write a friendly letter for you, and you can send it by email or WhatsApp in a minute.
