Bought this last month for my daughter who is not old enough for a phone but we needed a way to keep track of her in the neighborhood and be able to call her. We are an Apple household, so I set it up on my phone but for a child, which allows me to set parental restrictions on who she can call/text and when it goes into school time mode (which can be required by teachers when they're at school). Basically makes it into a watch.
I'm with T-Mobile and they have a $10 basic plan for watches and with an auto pay discount it knocks it down to $5 a month.
When I was researching other "kids" watches with calling ability, there were some that were a little cheaper (Gab, etc) but the savings on the watch would have been offset by the plans ($15/mo).
As some have mentioned, this is basically a series 4 watch, so it should be fine with regards to updates for the OS for a while.
Definitely not in the e-waste category.
This is two years newer than the Series 4, which is still supported. So, I suspect that this will still get another few rounds of OS updates.
Also, even the unsupported versions maintain their functionality. I have a Series 3, and I still use it for fitness tracking, messaging, 2FA, etc.
Careful- I bought the non-Nike version that was an FP deal last week. The listing clearly said "GPS + cellular" on Walmarts website, so I bought two for my two kids. Went to activate them and no luck- no cellular radio. Walmart's website is just garbage.
So I don't know if this Nike version will have the same issue. Thank goodness for easy returns.
This is a bit off topic but do any insiders know when the Apple Watch 9 is being released? I have my eye on the 7 or 8 refurb from apple but wondering when prices will drop further. It would be my first smart watch so this 1st gen SE is also tempting if i would have to wait a while for a price drop

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank
So, $70 more for the watch.
Not a bad deal, If you are gifting it to a kid or if you're gonna use it for fall detection of old people.

Wonder if I can still pair the watch to a phone for Fitness etc if it's in Family mode.
