I'm looking into first smartwatch, GPS tracker, or alternative for my 10yr old son. I'm reluctant to go down the phone route for many reasons, as I think they are too much of a distraction (particularly at school). GPS is frequency reported as inaccurate. Often there seems to be hidden subscription charges also. All suggestions and experiences welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Tell the time? Track your child? Measure their daily exercise? Look cool in the playground?0 -
Amazon do some very reasonable prices which you could try for a first one rather than spend a lot of money to see if he likes/will use?0

most smart watches need a smart phone to operate with a mobile app0
