[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PPs are incorrect.  The new watches are stand alones, they work as phones.  My husband has had the old version which needed to have a phone close by from the beginning and it sucked to run with your phone.  He was so excited when the new ones came out this year.  Now he can run/play soccer without bringing his actual phone.  He can text, track his running, make calls, etc.  with just the watch.  We bought it for our 10 year old son who is always out and about in the neighborhood.  [b]Now we text him and if he doesn't text back we call him.  Hey it's time to come home, we are having dinner in 15minutes.[/b]  We've texted him at school:  Hey, don't forget to look for your jacket in the lost and found.  It really is awesome.   We don't let him sleep with it, but you can if you want to track your sleep.  He also got an app to track his swimming.  It is pretty great![/quote] Tons of 10 year olds manage to do this exact same thing with a regular 'ol cellphone, not sure why you think an Apple watch is necessary. And as for texting your kid at school, I think that's a horrible horrible idea.  Whether it's a phone or a watch, your kid should not be reading text messages during the school day.  It's incredibly distracting and probably infuriating for the teachers.  Listen, I don't care if you get your 10 yer old an Apple watch, but don't try to convince anyone it's necessary for keeping in touch.  It's not.[/quote]
