Thank you for doing this comparison. Having used the Grabin Bounce for about 2 years I see the Fitbit Ace as the next logical step for a soon to be 10 year old. As other have mentioned the other watches dont offer the parental controls and if you're somebody who'd rather delay giving a kid a smartphone the Fitbit Ace wins. For anyone whos dealing with younger kids I suggest Garmin. But the ability to do a full phone call, and to actually know if the wrist is being worn really puts it over over the Garmin. A CNET article also mentioned a Google Pay feature that will roll at some point. So i would imagine you could put a $ limit on spending or at least setup some approval process. No more sending kids to activities with cash and hoping the come back with the correct change👍

Can you please clarify if watch requires a phone for both parent AND the child or just the parents phone???

Thanks for the video, I am really looking at this 2 devices for a smartwatch for my kid for communication and tracking purposes. The real issue to consider at my side is the call function which I don't like that the Garmin doesn't have it.
What about temperature when using the device? have your kids say anything? for example on a long back and forward conversation or call.
Another question, which one has less communication issues? like GPS refreshing or messages.
Garmin being a pioneer on smartwatches I am expecting to be better here.

Thanks.

I personally prefer the way Apple Watch handles kid’s accounts
But you said the Apple Watch “leaves a lot to be desired” but didn’t go into detail
