I just want a watch to give to my kid that I can text, call, and track location. Why is that so hard to find?
Main Post:
TickTalk, Gizmo, and FitBit Ace all require you do install their messaging app on your phone to text or call the watch. And they all seem to have a zillion reviews saying that texting and calling is spotty and unreliable. It's 2024! WTF.
I can't get a Pixel Watch without linking it to my phone, right? So a Pixel Watch isn't going to work either.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Top Comment: Buy a pixel watch LTE and link it to a new line. You will NEED a phone to setup. you can likely get a free one with a new phone line right? Your kid does not need access to the phone and the LTE version can make calls and texts without the phone.
