Gamifying fitness and activity I really like. The rest is something I don't think we need.

- LeifCarrotson 2y agoYou might like the Garmin Bounce: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/714945#specs https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/714945#specs It's a similar LTE-enabled smart watch with GPS for parental tracking and two-way text/voice messaging within the app, but from Garmin, which has a much better reputation for privacy - including a very positive review from the Mozilla Foundation: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/garmin-bounce/ https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/garmin-.... I would trust Garmin with my son's data. He's 7, and has been wearing the plain digital Timex I got him for almost a year; when he's 8 or 9 we'll get him a Bounce. If you really want the bare minimum, look at the Vivofit Junior: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/711538 https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/711538 which doesn't have GPS or LTE, just an accelerometer and Bluetooth that it uses to gamify fitness and activity tracking and (with parental management through the linked app).
