[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm actually surprised by the diversity of responses! Thanks for the feedback. I think it sounds like some of you have much shorter walks through fairly suburban areas. My kid would be walking a little over a half mile through the city, and crossing two major commuting roads. We feel very confident in her street smarts and awareness at this point, but I still worry. I know I'll feel better if I can see the watch made it to school, or she can shoot me a quick text to let me know. In MS she will likely be taking public transit on her own (well, with classmates who live in our neighborhood, they tend to ride in packs to the MS), so it feels like we need to start moving her towards that independence before elementary ends or we're going to have a hard time with that transition. Our school doesn't allow smart watches in class (which I think is good) but a lot of kids have them and put them in pouches when they get to school and then collect them after.[/quote]
