It's pretty well known though in this day and age that smart watches can have recording capabilities, so if the problem is that "a watch looks like something that can't record" all smart watches should be banned by that logic.
I don't feel like that actually applies here, but if it does it should also apply to the entire smartwatch category.

- germanier 9y agoThe devices this is about allow to listen in remotely. I am pretty sure that even many of the wearers (children) don't know that. At least some of those devices don't look like a smartwatch on first glance either, e.g. http://www.eltern-zeit.de/wp-content/uploads/lokato-kidswatch-gps-smart-watch-uhr-e1489949608512.jpg http://www.eltern-zeit.de/wp-content/uploads/lokato-kidswatc...
- curun1r 9y ago> It's pretty well known though in this day and age that smart watches can have recording capabilities This isn't true for hybrid smartwatches and fitness trackers. Those devices don't have listening devices and require tethered cell phones for internet communication, which already enables GPS tracking. It'll be interesting to see if this has been written in such a way as to exclude those or lump them in with the devices being targeted.
