The same people who'd want to track their kid's every move with an absurdly expensive watch can also turn around and let that same kid commute solo?
My brains turnng to mush.
- ceejayoz 4y agoI'm not sure why that's so surprising. I want my kids to develop independenence, but also be able to find them in an emergency.
- w0m 4y agoI'm not sure i understand the Watch here; just sew an AirTag into their underoos if that's the goal for ~1/10th the price.
- ceejayoz 4y agoA cellular watch lets them get directions, text/call me, etc. and don't rely on phones being nearby like AirTags do. Are you not washing your kids' underoos?
- prirun 4y agoCould always chip them.
- vagrantJin 4y ago> but also be able to find them in an emergency Can you share what type of emergency needs an Apple watch to circumvent?
- ceejayoz 4y agoWe've got a doctors' appointment we've waited six months for, and they're not checking their texts reminding them to head home from a friend's.
- runjake 4y agoYour view of it is too simple and skewed. We want to be able to track their every move, not do it constantly. And by the way, they can track our every move, too, thanks to Family Sharing and that's how we (well, I) like it.
