Smart Watches

It varies widely between simple fitness trackers and full smart watches with bright screens and GPS, so start from the battery life the manufacturer states. Always-on displays, GPS workouts and constant notifications shorten battery life, so compare the stated figure for the features you will use.

Most smart watches rely on a Bluetooth link to your phone for notifications and setup; only models with their own SIM or eSIM can call or use data without it. Models with their own connectivity list LTE or eSIM support in the specifications.

Check whether it needs its own SIM card for calls and location, and how parents manage contacts through the companion app. A strap and casing rated for water and rough play are worth looking for.

Only if its water-resistance rating allows it: splash resistance covers rain and handwashing, while swimming needs a rating the manufacturer states is suitable for swimming. Check the rating in the specifications, and whether the manufacturer permits hot showers or soap.
