Moochies

Overview

Moochies is a London‑based wearable tech company known for smartwatches designed specifically for children. Founded in 2004 by Ryan O'Neill, the company offers products aiming to balance child safety with independence through features like GPS tracking, voice/video calling, messaging, SOS alerts, geofencing and waterproofing[1]

History

2004: Moochies was established in London, UK by Ryan O'Neill, targeting a niche in the kids' wearable market .

2015: Inspired by a personal incident where the co‑founder's young niece went missing briefly in a crowded mall, the company pivoted towards child safety solutions via smartwatches [2]

Recent years: Expanded distribution to UK, Australia and Europe, with watches retailed through major stores such as Target Australia, BIG W, Myer, Officeworks and Amazon[3]

Products Moochies' lineup includes several models, primarily the Connect, Odyssey, and early Original models, typically featuring:

Built‑in SIM card (3G/4G via Telstra network in Australia), enabling two‑way voice/video calls and messaging with a parent‑controlled contact list[4]

Real‑time GPS tracking, swipe‑to‑anti‑loss, SOS button and geofencing ("Safe Zones") alerts

Waterproof casing (up to 1 m for 30 minutes), touch screen, camera for selfies and voice/video calls moochies.com.au

Additional features: class mode (disable interruptions during school), step tracking, heart rate and temperature sensing (on recent Odyssey models), safety‑first design

Odyssey 4G: Flagship smartwatch with IP68 rating, extended battery, health sensors and advanced tracking .

Pricing ranged around AUD $179–249 and monthly SIM plans in Australia varied from AUD $14.95 to $24.95

Company Status As of late 2024, the Australian arm, Moochies Holdings Pty Ltd, entered liquidation. Despite this, watch units remained available for sale in major retailers. Telstra discontinued support in June 2024, affecting SIM and data services. The collapse has led to operational issues with refunds and service continuity across existing customers.
