I'm not the parent but one of the preselected people for my friends DD. I don't know how she set it up but I sometimes get notifications on my phone about the her DDs whereabouts. When she made me one of the people, I had to install an app on my phone. I guess its so I can communicate with her if I need to.

It's verizon's smart watch for older elementary school kids. According to the reviews, it can call and text preselected people and I was thinking it might be useful for my 4th grader who is going to be walking home from school alone, so she can tell me if she's going to the library or the playground or to a friend's house.

Any experiences with it?
