Great overview for parents considering an Apple Watch! It’s important to note that some apps on the App Store and features require an iPhone to work, so not all apps and features are available.
Can you please explain find my on the watch more. I bought my daughter a watch and find my own appears under device and not people and it’s frustrating cus it doesn’t give me the same functions as with people. I went to Apple and they said I need an iPhone for the find my to appear under people. Is this true ? They didnt even seem sure.
According to cell carrier we are not able to add watch without a phone? I have my ultra paired to my cell, and was not able to add another watch(cellular) without adding another phone to pair the watch with on the carriers network. Yes the cellular watch does not need the phone for it to work, but the carrier won’t activate the watch by itself?
For me, the biggest problem is the battery life when you run it on cellular. My little sister has a apple watch SE without an iphone and when she is out the whole day the watch barely makes it through half the day. She still loves it but this is something they need to work on.
Just press down to the screen until it shows you a different selection of watch faces you can add more watch faces by going to the watch app on your iPhone, going to the bottom and clicking watch faces
I’d definitely get my younger kids an Apple Watch before an iPhone or iPad. Definitely watch first, iPad second, iPhone when they are teens learning to drive and starting to have some more independence and preparing for that next stage in life and should have a little higher responsibility than an 8 year old.
Is there a way to add multiple parents/guardians to my child's apple account? It would be great if my wife could also make changes to his screen time settings and add or remove contacts for our son. It would also be great for her to be notified if he exits the School Time mode. I'm trying to get a watch setup and I haven't seen any notification on my phone when I've exited School Time on the watch (I thought the parent is supposed to be notified when this occurs).
My goodness this was useful!!! I was just telling my friends why an Apple Watch wouldn’t work in place of a phone. Your video showed exactly how it can be used as a phone, in place of an AirTag, to track their sleep, heart rate, etc. LOVE!!! Thanks for all the time and research you put into this. Definitely saving this one!!! ⌚️👦🏼🧒🏻
You are so talented bro. Love your videos and how much I learn from them. I feel like you do a really good job of talking tech in a normal human life way that makes sense to me and probably everyone.
I Myself have had an apple watch for the last 4 years and I have been upgrading every 2 years, I am now 12 and have the new recent apple watch 9 , and it is just now that I have got my first phone, this proves that the apple watch is an amazing device that can do anything I need until the day you get a phone.
i got an series 8 for my kid (8) and the find my sucks! i use it for walky talkie, to call her and to track her, since she walks to school alone (Switzerland) but it still show shes home. smh
but it's very bad that battery is so low only one day and i think its very iportant for me to know that my kid have watch on and no worry about battery health so i prefer huawei fit 3 (7-10) days battery.
I plan to buy a cellular watch for my kid. Does it need its own phone number or I can use my phone number and if I can use my phone number will I be able to contact him from my phone?
@@Boomer.bloomerActually since Black Friday is coming up you can get them their Apple Watch for a cheaper price! I’m getting one in Black Friday as well!!
don't setup school time, it can be complicated, you will end up having it still activating during the weekend or even during summer, making your kid angry at you, and there is not point because by just clicking any button, they will find out quickly that they can just deactivate it easily by holding the digital crown button for a few seconds, no passwords, no anything, they can just go back to the watch's normal mode, so don't waste your time
I've tried the watches that are specific for kids, and they are all completely lacking. I love having a way to stay in touch with my 9 year old at all times, but if I'm going to drop 150, 250 dollars, I'd really like the device to do a whole lot more than what those crummy little kid watches do. This will be our next device for him.
I forgot abt school time I used to used it 😭😭 but forgot cause they took our phones before class and we could listen to music and listen to music with the phones were locked up I set it up myself cause I knew I would get too distracted even with the mobile data off 😭😭
When I was a kid and my parents didn’t want me to have an iPhone they just bought me an Apple Watch and I used it for a couple of years and it was awesome device for me.
Just watching the video makes me want to go back to my Apple Watch Ultra about 8 months ago I moved to the new Garmin tactix® 7 Smart Watch - AMOLED Edition,
@@car1980-h It depends on where you geographically are. If you are somewhere without a lot of Apple users (a country where Apple has little market share, or smaller, more limited locations, such as mountain localities, small villages, etc), then AirTags are weaker. They work by pinging off a nearby Apple device’s location and having them update their location. And if there aren’t many Apple devices nearby…
@@tdrg_the Apple AirTag is trash. 1st day of school and it didn’t update for 2 hours yesterday and than when his class was at the park it pinged him at a house across the street as last location for 50 minutes while he was at the park. So I prefer the Apple Watch even though it’s pricey and have to pay a month for cellular service it helps me with peace of mind.
Nice technology, but fundamentally kids should learn independance and parents should learn to trust their kids. And the ‘remote monitoring’ goes against that, and creates scared kids and parents in the long run. I’m sure there are types of kids who would benefit from this during some short timeframe while they grow up, but it is sad that the present day society and kids-parents relations would require this.
@@nilcamprubi sorry, I missed this - most Americans would have said ‘’Maybe your kids is at swim lessons…” I forgot phrases can differ across the globe!
@@Boomer.bloomer your 16 comments would say otherwise. It makes very clear that you have a thing with sparking conflicts. It’s one thing to disagree, another to hate on someone for their opinion. And hating on Nikias & others in the comments because they prefer Apple and you don’t is unsubstantiated.

Very true and helpful
I’m a t mobile member Do i need to add a standalone plan for my son to use the watch separately without getting an iPhone for him?
I called tmobile yesterday $7 per month for 500mb or 15 a month for unlimited data to add to our family plan.
我是台灣觀眾，非常謝謝你的影片，解說得很詳細，中文字幕翻譯得很精確！GOOD JOB！
so will you get the notifications and calls that you get to the phone to the watch in kids mode thing
No, not if you choose set up watch for someone else

Family sharing button in ur
iCloud
That will depend on the carrier, some don't know what available you have to push over and over
@@terrabledsoe4812 so we don’t need to add a plan, because otherwise I heard that they you get the message through your phone to the watch
So helpful, can you tell me if you can block unknown numbers from calling your child's apple watch
Same thing I was thinking. How do you block unknown calls and text messages???
Only allowed/approved contacts can communicate with the watch. If somebody is not on the list, he or she will not be able to contact the child.
I just bought an series 5 Apple Watch but can a Apple, watch work without SIM card
For me, the biggest problem is the battery life when you run it on cellular. My little sister has a apple watch SE without an iphone and when she is out the whole day the watch barely makes it through half the day. She still loves it but this is something they need to work on.
I love this but does it work for android parents?
Do they have to be close to a phone to track your kid
Nope, they can be wherever they want in the world, and youll be able to track them
Thoughts on Google Pixel 9?
Pro xl is op
I love this video so much and keep making more
How do you change the watch faces for kids?
Just press down to the screen until it shows you a different selection of watch faces you can add more watch faces by going to the watch app on your iPhone, going to the bottom and clicking watch faces
Amazing video
sinds when are apple wacthes water proof

Every model after the series 1
What model is it ?

What Apple Watch Type Is It?
It can be any all of them do this and I think he is specifically talking about the SE which is the cheapest one.
I think the Apple Watch is great for kids. I also think if Apple would use, plastic like the iPhone 5c would be great.
if they making a watch out of fucking PLASTIC it better be under 150$
I swear to god, if you are trying to get apple to make a super cheap one for kids, then go to hell!!!
The iPhone 5c was a pure piece of shit, it was a marketing disaster since the phone back looked like Crocs.
I also love to use it to see where my kid is because he rides the bus so I can see where he is
Facts and that's the exact reason why my 9 year is getting one and you have a blessed day 🙏🏾❤
Not a parent… but sending this to all my friends with kids! 🫶🏽
You’re amazing!!!

“And they wont be distracted by social media”
Me: “Hey Siri, search up the web TH-cam.”
There is a similar watch for kids called gizmo it works as a phoned and has many features. My sister has one
LIKE IF YOU THINK APPLE WATCH IS BETTER FOR KIDS COMMENT IF I PHONE IS BETTER FOR KIDS🎉🎉🎉
I agree alot
YA BOIS THE 1k LIKER 🎉🎉🎉
I plan to buy a cellular watch for my kid. Does it need its own phone number or I can use my phone number and if I can use my phone number will I be able to contact him from my phone?
But why are you talking about this now? Most of these features have been here for a while now.
You just convinced me to get devices for my grandkids! 🥰
nobody asked
That’s amazing!!! 💛💛💛
Do you want your grandchildren to be free or safe?
@@NoThankYouToo i can keep them safe for a cheaper price lil guy
@@Boomer.bloomerActually since Black Friday is coming up you can get them their Apple Watch for a cheaper price! I’m getting one in Black Friday as well!!
The sleep function doesn't work with family setup apple watches.
The average price is about 300dollars
why do i see Nikias in all the Apple Watch videos.. 😂
But wouldn’t my child receive my calls and messages?
Don’t hate on this guy he’s just trying to help us
i am so showing this to mother.
"And they wont be distracted on social media"
Third party apps: am i a joke to you
Nikias! For your next video, maybe show an “actually” counter. 😉😂

No offence, but when I will have the kids all I want is to get them on the tech as Later as possible.

Unfortunately with the amount of school shootings happening I am getting my child a watch for peace of mind.
Apple has had the school mode on WatchOS for a while…
I'll get my 8 month old daughter an Ultra.
Jokes aside, this is very cool. I might really get an SE when she's older
As a kid I need a iPhone I am 12 and a watch bro I just reached middle school at least a Samsung
say actual again
😀 thanks for the content. i actually liked it. acutally.
Are you trying to beat some record to use ‘actually’ word in one video?
I am a kid I have a Apple Watch. I go to school with it sometimes.
My dad bought me an iWatch SE
$500 that’s half a cart at the grocery store.
We looking for $100 range 😂
I forgot abt school time I used to used it 😭😭 but forgot cause they took our phones before class and we could listen to music and listen to music with the phones were locked up I set it up myself cause I knew I would get too distracted even with the mobile data off 😭😭
My bro is so fun i Liked and subscribed 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Great video. Some feedback: try to say "actually" less.
Man I am a teenager and I have my own Apple Watch and a iPhone
When I was a kid and my parents didn’t want me to have an iPhone they just bought me an Apple Watch and I used it for a couple of years and it was awesome device for me.
APPLE WATCH ⌚️ BETTER WAY BETTER AND SFER FOR MY KID IM GETTING HER ONE RIGHT NOW
Just watching the video makes me want to go back to my Apple Watch Ultra about 8 months ago I moved to the new Garmin tactix® 7 Smart Watch - AMOLED Edition,
I’m gonna send this video to my mom and tell her to get me a Apple Watch Ultra 2
…
Good luck it took me 5 months to work up enough money to buy my series 9
At least it’s better than a phone 👍
School mode lets texting the parents…not robust enough, to low battery time. Kid will dont think about charging.

Hi, I the App watchis great for Kids.👍
btw if your kid is over the age of 7, they will notice the parental controls, will hate it, and will 100% be bullied for it
The world world don’t operate like the retards in the west
bullied because there watch is in school mode?
Y’all don’t need to spend 500+ usd on a Apple Watch u can buy the Apple Watch SE 2nd gen for 180 dollars
It’s not $180 for the one with cellular service versions. I got the se 44mm for $295 after tax for my 5 year old cause the Apple AirTag is trash
why is this on my
