Kids smart watch DS9

[FusionChefGeoff]

Any recommendations?? Don't want it to be another way for him to lose himself to game time but like the other features eg gps / health stuff etc

My Nephew has this one and my SIL is very happy with it

My DS has the xiaomi mi band 6. He loves it and it has lots of features.

The one from sky is good. we have it for my almost 8 yo!

Does it do WiFi calls too or would ds use all his minutes calling his friends from home?

Also: do they need a phone?

Another vote for the xiaomi mi band my boys (11 & 9) have had them for 2 years, they’re fab!

I really need to get this ordered so bumping!!

The sky one is really chunky and is too much on the phone side I think - although that might be something we add on, for now, DS does want something that has some basic game options.

The Xiaomi looks too grown up and needs a phone to link to I think and he doesn't have a phone.

The one that's linked is too young - very bulky and doesn't seem to have any games?

It's a bloody minefield!!

So having done some more research I think in order of priority:

• GPS locator
• Games
• Music (but not sure how?!)
• SIM add on for basic calls / texts
• Step tracker
• Heart rate / fitness

Needs to look like a 'grown up' smart watch.

Can anyone else suggest one?

I've been looking into kidsnav watches for my DD9

Thank you - but looks like that one doesn't have the games / music option. Maybe I'm asking too much!

We have tried a few of the cheaper kids ones from Amazon but returned them for various reasons - band too big, stopped working/synching.

Decided to get one of these and it’s so much better, battery lasts a year so no faff charging all the time either

Though you haven’t said age so may be a little young. DD has one and is 9 and loves hers. You can buy generic plain Bands or fashion bands etc for it on eBay
