As a parent I've actually been thinking about this for a while. These watches are now very common btw, roughly half of the 7-9yo in the neighborhood have em. IMO ~9 should be the minimum age and the tracking should only be activated on press of an emergency button. I haven't yet found a product like that, they tend to give zero control to the kids. Aren't people concerned with their kids learning responsibility?

- gnicholas 5y agoCan I ask where you're located? I'm in the heart of Silicon Valley and haven't seen this at all.
