Real World – What age is it really practical to give a kid a watch rather than a phone?
Age 5-11: For toddler to to big kid then a watch is a big and bulky block that offers no entertainment value
Age 12-14: For tweens then its too awkward and inefficient as a communication tool
Age 15-17: Teens most likely have a smartphone, but even a flip phone would feel more “practical” than only a watch.
Parent: Spending money for hardware and service for an awkward child-tracker and a communication tool that literally screams “look at me!” Over speakerphone.
So I’m genuinely curious. Is there a market for this? Are parents looking for a way to give their kids a feature-lite communication device? And are there kids that want a daily-charge handcuff that keeps them tethered to mom and dad?
I’m a parent so I actually am interested in solutions for child tracking and communication. But I think a better solution would actually be something involving a Family Share phone that had strict parent control and limitations. For the kid it would be a family-centric communication device and entertainment device. For the parent it would be a monitoring device and a responsibility lesson that would work on an older hand-me-down phone.

The device works and is understood by someone who needs and wants it benefits. It is up to the parent to say, “this is not a toy! This is your way to reach me and mom when something is wrong.” Being able to call for help or reach your kid in an instant without necessarily opening them up to all forms of social media as with a full smartphone is excellent. Then you have the health tracking for kids with serious medical conditions. Any modern city has countless contactless payment terminals and a responsible parent would know the places their kids frequent unsupervised so that they can make use of digital funds. (slip a $20 for emergency money in there pocket to cover the unexpected). In the age of school shootings and child abductions, this couldn’t come sooner! Another CNET junk review.

Yeah I’m wondering about this for my kid. I want to be able to get a hold of him up the street if he’s playing but my worry is that if I’m spending $300-ish plus $10 a month if he’s not gonna be wearing it all the time and ya know…damaging it. The other question about just getting a phone…not for my kid. He’d put it down at a friends house and leave it. He’s not as likely to do that with a watch. That’s one my biggest draws for the watch over a cheap phone.

I think its still easier just to get the phone at that age. You’ll eventually get to a scenario with an app needed for the kid to use that isn’t on the watch

I think this is just apple’s super elaborate way to get the people to buy an iPhone SE.

I like this feature because it allows parents to postpone giving their kids a full on phone until they’re older. One of my biggest concerns for the future of society is the rising rate of depression in kids being linked to them having phones – this could help alleviate that. Much harder to spend hours on instagram or Facebook on an apple watch than on a phone

Any change you can get ahold of the Gizmo 2 kids watch and compare? One feature I really like on the gizmo is I can track where my kid been when he wears his watch. Does the Apple Watch have that feature now? (Not where he’s at when I look at the app) also wondered if there’s location based check in options on the watch?

Tbh for the price, you might as well get them a phone. I’ve seen 8 year olds walking around with smartphones. Sorry Apple, but I’m not buying my kid a $350 dollar watch where you have to pay extra for cellular

I was thinking this would be better for my older parents. They don’t ever use internet on their phones and they only call/text and would love a watch anyhow. And me being able to set it up from my own phone is like a million times easier.

Not to be that guy but, if your willing to leave the ecosystem, you could buy a decent cheap budget Android for a third to half the price of a cellular Apple Watch, such as the Nokia 1.3 for $100 or the Moto E 2020 for $130, for “covering the basics” need of a child. In fact, you could buy 2 of the Motorolas or 3 of the Nokias for less than the Cellular Watch SE with money leftover to bay for a month or two of service. And if the kid was to lose or break it, you’re less financially invested. However, the real problem is that Apple doesn’t want to have products that are “cheap” or “budget” as it will erode its position as a premium luxury brand. For years, their answer to a cheaper iPhone was to keep selling last year’s model with a hundred dollar discount

This setup would probably work better for older children aged 8 above. But then again it’d lose its novelty around middle school age cos by then the kids would want a real smartphone.
Interesting video nonetheless for trying to offer another use case for technology.
