Xplora X6Play smartwatch

Xplora Technologies, a Norwegian-based leader in the wearable tech industry, specialized in creating safe communication devices for children. The Xplora X6Play is one of their flagship models, designed to provide a secure alternative to smartphones for younger users by offering GPS tracking, voice calls, and messaging without unrestricted internet access.

Founded in 2016 by Sten Kirkbak, the brand's origin is rooted in a personal mission to enhance child safety and digital balance. While the company's research, software development, and design are centered in Norway and the UK, the physical manufacturing of the hardware is primarily carried out in China, a common practice for high-tech consumer electronics.

Xplora has grown into a global brand, listing on Euronext Growth and recently expanding its reach into the senior market through strategic acquisitions such as Doro AB in late 2025. This move positions the company as a comprehensive provider of connected family services across Europe and North America.
