Hi,

Not sure I'm in the right place- and I know there's Google but it's a minefield really, so thought I'd ask here.

My daughter (8) wants a smart watch (not what she's called it- I'm guessing that's what it is) for Christmas. I think the main feature she wants is a step counter.

Do they all come with internet connection or potential to text??

Sorry, I am beyond backwards when it comes to these things.

I don't want to spend more than £40 absolute max. I was thinking it might be handy if I could contact her (but don't know how these watches work!) But without her being able to connect to the internet unsupervised.

Basically what I'm asking is- any recommendations, please? And could some kind soul clear up my confusion?

Thanks

Why does she want to track her steps? Could just buy a pedometer

No major reason, just that a friend from school has one so jumping on the bandwagon. She's no idea what it's called.
