[quote=Anonymous]We know 6 kids in the 6th grade that has the Apple Watch because the parents do not want them to have a phone yet. Both parents and kids love them. 
They say it allows the child to do a quick check in with the parent(s) that has the Iphone, like I'm at ABS's home, I'm ready for pickup, I'm heading home now on the bike.

It is an expensive watch, that is why I'm still thinking about it.

As for a phone, the user will keep staring it at it for texting, even if it doesn't have internet service. We have seen this proven many times. Even parents have complained about their kids about it. 
The other drawback is, a phone is bulky to carry. Boys do not always carry their backpacks with them and some shorts do not even have pockets. Whatever happened to those old slim phones we used to have. They were like 4 inches in length. 
So, my son has neither watch or phone. And the drawback is I don't know where he is half of the time he is out. We trust him but do not necessarily trust the kids he is with cause they have exhibit some careless behaviors. But, most of the time, he is with someone that does have a phone and that is used for communication to tell us where he is with. But, who is to say the friend just ditch him. Who knows right.
