New York - November 17, 2022 - Xplora, a European multinational technology
company that specializes in smartwatches for kids, software and services, today
announced it was named a CES® 2023 Best of Innovation Awards Honoree for its new
X6Play smartwatch. The X6Play is the latest high-end product in Xplora's lineup
of smartwatches created to serve as the first cell phone for children between
the ages of 4-11. Unlike other smartwatches designed for young children,
Xplora’s technology encourages a balance between screen time and physical
activity while helping families stay connected.

2,100 Submissions

Xplora was one of 21 honorees in the wearables category and the only wearable
designed exclusively for children. The X6Play was also one of 17 products named
a Best of Innovation Award winner out of hundreds of honorees. This year’s CES
Innovation Awards program received a record high of more than 2,100 submissions.
Honorees were announced ahead of CES 2023, the world’s most influential
technology event, happening January 5-8 in Las Vegas.

“The recognition of our X6Play as a CES Best of Innovation Award winner is a
testament to our leadership in the design and development of kids’ wearables.
Our smartwatches provide children with a safe onboarding to the digital world.
Features like our proprietary, award-winning Goplay platform and our
partnerships with organizations like the United Nations also teach kids how to
think beyond themselves and provide them with a way to give back to those in
need,” says Sten Kirkbak, CEO of Xplora.

The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology
Association (CTA)®, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and
engineering in 28 consumer technology product categories. Those with the highest
rating receive the “Best of Innovation” distinction. An elite panel of industry
expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more,
reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality,
aesthetic and design.

About the X6Play

The X6Play takes the user experience to a new level with better technology and
more entertainment and reward options. It includes more sensors than previous
Xplora smartwatches for deeper engagement and integration with Xplora's Goplay
platform.

The X6Play also features a new, playful design with a larger, high-resolution
1.5-inch screen. It has faster response times thanks to the Qualcomm® Snapdragon
Wear™2500 platform and an improved 5MP camera for better photos and video.
Improved battery life enables the watch to run for days before recharging. Kids
can personalize and customize the X6Play and create more than 3400 possible
style combinations using colorful, interchangeable wristbands and bezels.

Like all Xplora smartwatches, the X6Play has no access to the internet or social
media, restricted contacts, a school mode where parents can disable
notifications during school hours and parents can create safe zones to alert
them when children wander beyond a pre-programmed area.
