[quote=Anonymous]My 6 and 8 year olds have them. PP is correct that they are kind of garbage and the tracking isn’t great, but it allows them to text or call me reliably when they are ready to come home from a friend’s house and that’s what we mostly use them for. Or I call to tell them I’m heading to pick them up to go to practice, come home for dinner, that sort of thing. They like the freedom to call and see if friends are around to play, or call their grandparents to say hi. They don’t fiddle with them when playing with friends because honestly there’s not much fun stuff on there, and I have quiet hours set up so they can’t use them at school. There are a couple kind of boring games on a tiny screen they played the first few days they had them.

On the other hand, their friends with Apple Watches seem to spend more time on them. They are way better, but my kids are just too careless for me to spend the money at this point. My niece got one for her 9th birthday though, and is obsessed. Most of their friends have one of the watches at this point and they spend lots of time meeting up to play at the closest soccer field/playground/basketball court and it is much easier for parents who are at home but still logged on working.
