dassie for parents

Your child, close by, wherever the day takes them.

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.

dassie is rolled out through schools.

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.

Ask your school
What you get

Everything in one friendly app.

SOS that reaches you first

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.

Making friends? It’s a bump away.

Two watches bump, both parents approve, and the children can chat. No strangers and no surprises.

Say “I love you” with a voice note

Chores and reminders on the wrist

Chores tick off right on the watch, and calendar reminders mean music practice never gets forgotten.

06

At the tuckshop, you’re in charge

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.

Data, sorted

Always connected. No SIM cards, no fuss.

Every dassie watch comes with a built-in eSIM, already loaded. You manage its data in the app, alongside everything else.

eSIM built in

The watch arrives ready to connect. There’s no SIM card to buy, insert or lose.

Automatic monthly top-up

Choose your top-up amount once, and it tops up every month. Top up any time if you need more.

GPS always on

Data is reserved for GPS, so location keeps working even if the everyday data for voice notes runs out.

Wi-Fi saves data

The watch can join your home Wi-Fi, and the school Wi-Fi when the school allows it.

One saved card

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.

In class

The watch follows the school’s rules, so it helps instead of distracting.

During lessons the school can switch off voice notes, collectables and payments. SOS and GPS always stay on.

Privacy built in

The school only sees your child on the school grounds.

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.
