apple watch for pre teen
Discussion
Our youngster is about to turn 10, and we are about to move to a new area (though we already know it very well).
She will be playing out a lot with other kids, and would feel better if we had some way of contacting her, and her us.
She is absolutely screen mad, and of course quite forgetful. We wont give her a phone yet, but was wondering if a second hand apple watch might be a good halfway house? she often wears an analogue watch already, so would like to think it would be a smooth transition. I've already read we can manage apps/school time/restrict numbers etc, and i'm quite keen to go down this route over designated kids watches, as I imagine the tech in an apple watch is far superior.
I'm a bit of a luddite with tech, so am asking, what spec of watch is it i'm looking for, and what sort of price on the second hand market am I likely to pay?
Thanks for anyone who can help.

Thats as I undestand it, yes. My wife is an apple user, so we would be sorted from that point of view.
Badda, I don't suppose you could share the sort of thing you got? is it easy to use? A couple of comments i read online was that on the imitation watches, sound quality was so poor it was pointless, and another, battery life was dismal.

We have two of these, they have a £6 monthly data plan.
Can setup geo fence areas, we use it as an unobtrusive heads up for the school bus getting back in our area as the time fluctuates.
Other than that they're really only used to call them to come back for dinner/sports clubs when out and about and works brilliantly for this, they get to see their friends and we get to keep to any schedules!
They go in school mode during the day so they're basically a Casio and nothing more, and they get competitive with the step counter on them.
All contact is through the locked app so only us and grandparents can contact them.
