Introduction
The Anio Two WLAN Touch is a German children’s smartwatch that has been put through its paces in our comparison test with five other models from different manufacturers. In addition to nearly common features such as location history and geofencing including messaging, the Anio watch also monitors health values and allows voice messages to be sent to other linked Anio watches.
App checked
The source code of the Anio App is obfuscated and makes reverse engineering of the app functionality very difficult. On the basis of the libraries used, it was possible to draw conclusions about the origin of the watch and app. Both come from China and are offered by an OEM manufacturer.
Online communication
Most of the Internet communication takes place via unencrypted channels. Anio relies on the encryption of the payload, as we saw for example with Philips Hue. However, since no packet encryption is used, the connections are not protected against man-in-the-middle attacks. Furthermore, parts of the transferred data could also be read.
The watch can also be controlled via SMS. According to the manual, for example, it is possible to query the location, reset or switch off the clock. Since the sequence of digits, which must be transmitted as a password, cannot be changed according to our information, it is important to keep the telephone number of the children’s watch secret: Filters that prevent numbers from calling, that are not entered in the phone book do not work with SMS requests.
Clear Privacy information
The privacy policy of Anio is written in an understandable way and clearly informs about the purpose for which the recorded data will be stored. Location history data is stored for a maximum of 2 weeks. Recorded, anonymous data is used only to ensure error-free service operation. The privacy policy also states that the above-mentioned SMS password should be changed with the help of the manual. Unfortunately, there is no indication of this in the included manual.
The Android app is limited to comparatively few permissions:
Conclusion
The Anio children’s watch offers a good solution in terms of privacy and app security. With regard to internet communication and SMS control, however, it is advisable to make improvements in a timely manner. On the basis of these two points, it is rated with 2 out of 3 stars in our comparison test.

If the anio watch 4 would work… i have putchased the watch since more than 3 months snd this is what i experienced:
1-No exact ir precise location, sometimes the watch shows the kid tobe kn the middle of s big street snd if the kid presses by mistake the sos csll button it really a panick, to find out later that this watch does not seem yo have maps updated
2-to keepvattery you justneed not to use it , otherwise battery drains ho less thsn 59% in less that 4 hours
3-the worst and which i consider dsngerous feature of this phone is thst after minutes of not being used it shuts off of hybernate so your kuds do not receive your call ge simply dors not hear the watch ringing !
4-the wifi or gps connectoon of this phone does not work well it never finds location….. Is not inhetent to the provider, i gound out, but to the phone, i used the same sim card with a samsung or iphone and had excellent signal, in conclusion is better to provide a phone to the kid and make an ABO plan to support only 3 phone numbers and teach the child to use the phone! Anio watch 4 is no good trusthworty gadget! You can see thst whenever customers sre allowed yo enter a review.
