fabienleclerq Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Eldest is getting to the age where he will start going out and about with his pals and thinking of getting one of those watches he can use to call us or we can track him! Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannonfoda Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Space talk watch. Although it's around 10 a month for contract. Shows you where they are and allows them to contact who you've setup on it. No other internet access so no social media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewjambo Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 My 9yr old has the Xplora Xgo 2 but I wouldn't recommend it as the battery life is crap and it has some software issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomb Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 We got our then 6 year old a V-watch from Vodafone at the start of lock down, best thing we did… as soon as they were allowed out he was out playing all day with new found pals in the estate, and we were happy knowing where he was at all times… Think the new neo now allows for voice calls, but more expensive contract.

Does tethered not mean he needs a phone with or near him? I assumed they had their own sim. As for overkill his mum won't think so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchcook Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I would recommend Spacetalk my son has had it a few years and it’s great. You set the zones and it lets you know if he moves out of them. Also easy to call and text your pre authorised contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just get him any smartphone and get Life 360 on it, you’ll know exactly where he is all the time, it’s a great free app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
