Discover Naomi Neo’s Secret to Safer and Smarter Parenting with the imoo Watch Phone X10

Published

on

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 June 2025 – Smartphones have become an everyday essential for adults. So, it’s natural for children to want one. Many parents see smartphones as useful tools for staying in touch with their children when they’re away from home, but smartphones can easily be lost, and they leave children vulnerable to the dangers of social media and too much screen time.

The solution is a watch phone designed specifically for children. It allows parents to keep track of their child’s whereabouts and stay in touch when their children are at school or out playing with friends. It also limits children’s exposure to social media and online strangers. Plus, when it’s securely fastened to a child’s wrist, it’s hard for them to lose it. In fact, they’ll enjoy showing off their cool super-hero-like gadget to all their friends. Especially one packed with features, like the imoo Watch Phone X10.

The imoo Watch Phone X10 — Every family’s excellent summer holiday companion

imoo, a global pioneer in the children’s watch phone segment, has just launched its next-generation premium flagship — the imoo Watch Phone X10 — in Singapore. Parenting influencer Naomi Neo is one of the first to give this “modern parenting essential” to her children – son Kyzo and daughter Zyla, now six and two respectively. Parents like Naomi Neo are finding lots to like about the imoo Watch Phone X10, and children will too.

Keep in touch with video calls

When children get out of school while parents are still at work, parents can place a video call to their imoo Watch Phone X10. When the child flips up the watch face, parents can remotely switch from seeing their face to seeing their surroundings and real-time location – to make sure they’ve reached their tuition class, or made it safely home, giving parents complete peace of mind.

Get ready for the pool with IP68 water resistance

Kids love splashing around in the pool during summer, and the imoo Watch Phone X10 is an excellent companion. It’s designed to dive right in, with IP68 swim-suitable water resistance. For those who like swimming for sport, it can track swim distance, calories burned, and time spent exercising. It has 10 built-in sports modes in total – and a fun and engaging “Active Challenge” system that lets children earn activity badges, making fitness a joyful habit.

Keep calm with high-precision location tracking + behaviour status

Letting children go out alone often makes parents anxious. Even if they’re together, a hectic tourist spot where it’s easy to lose a child in a crowd, can be a parent’s worst nightmare. The imoo Watch Phone X10 helps brings parents peace of mind. Whether the child is at the local botanical garden, park, or library with friends — or if they get separated in a crowd — the imoo Watch Phone X10 offers real-time, All-Day High-Precision Location Tracking that is accurate down to the street and floor level. It lets parents know whether they’re running around or just hanging about in one place, giving parents reassurance from afar. It also works around the world, ensuring parents can keep track of their child while on holiday. The imoo Watch Phone X10 can store up to 14 days of a child’s whereabouts – so parents can see the path they take to school, and where they stop along the way. With imoo quietly safeguarding each small step that children take toward independence, parents can truly “let go without worry.”

Make children feel like a superhero with the Flip Dual Cameras

For children, the imoo Watch Phone X10 is more than just a communication device—it’s a cool piece of high-tech gear. They’ll look like a movie superhero on a mission when they use the X10’s unique Flip Dual Cameras. Switching between its front and rear cameras is as easy as flipping the screen, sparking their sense of adventure, transporting them into an exciting universe made just for childhood.

The imoo Watch Phone X10 also gives children storytelling superpowers. The 5MP + 8MP high-definition dual cameras, paired with various shooting modes like fun animated effects, live photos, and standard photography, lets children snap anything from colourful bugs in the park, to party smiles and warm moments with family and friends.

The imoo Watch Phone X10 is perfect for children's daily needs.

Let kids socialize safely with the “Bump and Add Friends” feature

Kids love making new friends. Although parents encourage their children to be social butterflies, there is always a worry about stranger danger. The innovative “Bump and Add Friends” feature on the imoo Watch Phone X10 helps bring parents peace of mind. Two children must physically bump their watch phones together in person to become friends. Every connection is visible, verifiable, and secure. It also requires parental approval, helping to ensure no unknown contacts sneak through. Kids are free to make friends while parents can stay in control from afar.

The imoo Watch Phone X10 also keeps a child’s social circle rooted in real-life encounters — on the playground, in the park, or at enrichment classes. It’s operating system completely blocks access to social media, filters harmful content, and intercepts unknown numbers. It complies with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standards and protects data for every interaction. The technology sets protective boundaries, but never blocks warmth. This helps ensure every friend is sincere and safe.

Don’t worry – the imoo Watch Phone X10 is also tough enough for everyday kid chaos

Parents know there’s no such thing as “handle with care” when it comes to children’s toys and gear, and imoo knows this too. So, it designed the imoo Watch Phone X10 specifically for energetic kids. Its rugged build is shock-resistant and highly durable and has gone through rigorous real-world testing. One parent even shared that it still worked perfectly after their child accidentally tossed it into the washing machine. The imoo Watch Phone X10 can also withstand messy situations like fingerpainting in art class or making mud pies. Its dirt-resistant surface is easy to clean – just a simple wipe and it’s good as new.

Etiqa’s Project Firefly Reinforces Mangrove Ecosystem in Sungai Panjang in Collaboration with Malaysian Nature Society

Published

on

SELANGOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 January 2026 – Etiqa has launched Etiqa’s Project Firefly a new environmental initiative dedicated to conserving one of Malaysia’s iconic firefly habitats while uplifting the livelihood of the communities living along Sungai Panjang in Sabak Bernam, who rely on eco-tourism and the mangrove ecosystem. The programme was carried out in collaboration with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), and the Sabak Bernam District Council.

(L to R) Raffi Ismail, Marketing & Partnership Manager, Malaysian Nature Society; Fukhairudin Mohd Yusof, CEO of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad; Zaki Parmin, Assistant Agricultural Officer, Sabak Bernam District Council; Amran Hassan, Chief Strategy Officer, Etiqa

Through Etiqa’s Project Firefly, Etiqa is taking proactive steps to preserve and sustain the ecosystem by planting 130 Sonneratia Caseolaris or locally known as Berembang saplings and 200 Sonneratia Caseolaris seeds, undertaking habitat restoration works, and mobilising 50 Etiqa volunteers for a community-driven initiative along Sungai Panjang, covering a total stretch of 10 kilometres. In addition, an awareness session was conducted by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Faculty of Science which aimed to educate participants on the ecological importance of fireflies and the need for long-term conservation.

Fireflies play an important role as indicators of mangrove ecosystem health, which in turn supports environmental balance and benefits surrounding communities. However, across Malaysia, firefly populations are declining due to rapid habitat loss caused by river pollution, deforestation, and increasing light pollution along mangrove-lined rivers. These threats not only endanger native species but also affect the livelihoods of local fishermen and villagers who rely on healthy river ecosystems and firefly-based eco-tourism. Protecting congregating firefly zones through the preservation of adequate vegetation buffers along riverbanks is therefore critical to ensuring the long-term survival of these species and the sustainability of local livelihoods.

Fukhairudin Mohd Yusof, CEO of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad (EGIB) said, “We initiated Etiqa’s Project Firefly as conserving native firefly species is deeply connected to the well-being of the communities that co-exist around them. By conserving firefly habitats, we are not only protecting an irreplaceable part of Malaysia’s biodiversity but also helping sustain the eco-tourism and river-based livelihoods of Sungai Panjang residents. This reflects Etiqa’s purpose in Making the World a Better Place that includes meaningful environmental action which strengthens both nature and society, creating long-term value for future generations.”

Mr. I.S Shanmugaraj, Executive Director of Malaysia Nature Society says, “Fireflies are natural indicators of a healthy mangrove ecosystem, and their presence reflects the overall condition of our rivers and surrounding environments. We commend Etiqa for taking proactive steps through Etiqa’s Project Firefly to address the growing threats of habitat degradation along fireflies corridor. Meaningful conservation requires collective action, and we hope this initiative will inspire more companies to collaborate with environmental organisations and local communities to protect biodiversity while supporting sustainable livelihoods for the long term.”Hashtag: #Etiqamy
