Kids smart watch
I was wondering I have an eight-year-old who loves to play in the neighborhood but I would like her to have a smart watch with GPS that is kid friendly I see other phone companies that do it like Verizon and T-Mobile but AT&T from what I hear does not offer one and I was wondering if there would be something offered for a kids smart watch or if there something on the market that I could purchase and put a Sim card in

Hi all,
We see this thread is getting many views, understandably so.
AT&T offers watches with GPS functionality and call & text features. While they are not necessarily kid watches, they have the features you want like GPS functionality, call, and text.
Apple and Samsung both allow you to track the device via their online portal.
If your kiddo has a smartphone, AT&T Secure Family is a great option. You can:
Hope this helps!

Verizon's kids watch 'Gizmo Pal' is available on their website and is only $10 a month single device plan. The companion app for the parent will run on another carrier.
So as long as Verizon works well enough in your area for connection you can still stay with AT&T and run the watch on Verizon

Sorry. Nothing that will work with At&t. At&t had a watch that didn’t sell well.
At&t is less than a year away from not allowing 3g only Devices due to pending 3g shut down. So any device has to be LTE compatible with At&t.

Verizon still has the Gizmo, which is LTE compatible with their network.

The Gizmo by LG is the only one on the US market, only sold for Verizon. There are plenty sold that will not work on US cell carriers, they will tell you otherwise of course.
I have no idea if it’s unlockable as it’s sold under contract only. Even unlocked, it may not work with another carrier.

Well I don’t except that for us parents out here a smart phone for an eight-year-old is not acceptable a wearable device is except a bowl because not only will it not fall out of her pocket or break it is something that she knows and has with her at all times

Oy. If using speech to text, at least get punctuation and proof before you post. It’s very hard to read this post.
If you’re saying At&t should sell something, they did, it didn’t sell, so they stopped. If this is a ‘must’ for your child, switch to Verizon.
