Apple Watch SE
The Apple Watch SE isn't primarily intended as a GPS watch for kids, but it's arguably one of the most advanced and feature-packed smartwatches on the market. What many may not be aware of is that the Apple Watch SE actually has a feature that could make it more enticing for use by children. Normally, an iPhone is required to use an Apple Watch, but Family Setup lets you easily pair your child's smartwatch with your own iPhone, eliminating the need to buy a separate watch for your child.
When you use Family Setting, your child gets their own phone number and you can easily manage the watch from your own iPhone. This gives your child access to all the features Apple Watch SE has to offer, including the ability to make calls, send messages, stream music and download apps. As a parent, you also have the opportunity to schedule school hours for your child. This means that you can limit the functionality of the watch during those times when your child needs to focus on schoolwork.
Another customization that Apple has made for Family Setting is that the activity rings on the watch do not show how many calories the child has burned, but instead how many minutes they have been active. This is a more appropriate and healthy indicator of children's physical activity.
Apple has also included the useful Find app that makes it easy for parents to keep track of their child's whereabouts. You may receive notifications when your child arrives at or leaves specific places, such as home or school.
In summary, Apple Watch SE with Family Setting offers a versatile and secure solution for parents who want to give their children access to the benefits of smartwatches. By using Family Setting, you can easily administer and customize the clock's functions to suit your child's needs and schedule its use for school hours. This makes the Apple Watch SE a useful and customizable tool for both children and parents.
