Smart watch- non apple watch
-
We have a Gabb. Functionality is totally fine and everything we need. But, I’ve noticed that older elementary kids don’t like the look of it and would prefer something that looked closer to an Apple Watch it’s just bigger and more square than an Apple Watch.

Gabb watch for the win! It’s exactly why I bought one for my son especially when he was with my ex and I had no idea where he was taking him. You control the contact list (only 20) and zero social media. You can text them and they can text back, too. It’s great!

We also have a GABB for when my son rides his bike around the neighborhood. Bonus is for events like Halloween and carnival at school so I can easily track him.

If you want an option just for tracking, I use AirTags when my kids go out or at big events (theme parks, kid-friendly festivals, large group events like Halloween, riding their bike to a friends, etc.) There are watch bands that hold air tags so I throw those on their wrist for my oldest and for my younger kids, I buy the dog tag air tag holder but hook it to their shoes. If you want an option that just allows you to see where they are (no calling or screens) it helps! https://a.co/d/8byyrJj
