Smart watch for kids

I'm looking for a watch that will hopefully solve all my problems. Well not all of them.
Ideally it will:

  • have GPS/be trackable
  • make phone calls
  • send messages
  • not have any social media apps or games
  • be suitable for a 9/10 year old
  • not cost a fortune
  • doesn't come from china

I've found ones that allow kids to make calls but would be using my own phone number which I don't want, so will need it's own SIM card and it's own number...
There are plenty that claim to do what I'm after but when I've looked into it either it does too much or does too little.

Does anyone have a watch that ticks all the boxes?

I've just got kidsnav watches. £75 each for my 2. I'm honestly so impressed with them. Do all that at you've asked for and more with no games.

My niece has the Xplora watch and I believe it ticks all of your boxes

You can get an on Samsung Galaxy Active Watch from eBay, CeX or cash converters for less than £30.

I recently bought one for my daughter and it's fits your criteria.

Exact model was "Samsung Galaxy Watch Active SM-R500"

It looks really modern and functions really well, even though it's an old model.
