Running watch for pre teen?

If they use iPhones you can get a brand new Apple Watch SE for $249. It is a nice watch and definitely has bells and whistles (lol) but the watch can be setup on a parent’s device and managed that way. As an adult runner I use AW U2 and am super happy with it.

What kind of safety measures do you take for kids that elope?

As much as people knock the AirTags, I found them to be more effective than AngelSense, particularly in city environments. The AngelSense tracker goes haywire in the city. The reality is 99.99% of the time you don't need a tracker on your child, but in the 0.01% chance that you do, you want the darn

Don't hate on the orange accents!

Nice. I specifically wanted the 50mm so that’s why I opted for the cheaper 2x. This is my first Garmin, coming from an Apple Watch SE that I can’t even wear everyday unless I remember to charge it.

AppleWatch Ultra stops playing audio after 5 seconds when listening with AirPods Pro

Same here with Apple Watch SE 3 and AirPods Pro 3. Restarting watch, as recommended in these comments, fixed it, but wish I had known that on the two flights where all my downloaded music and podcasts were on my watch, not on my phone (which is too full to have room for it).

Choosing a smart watch

If you really want live maps + Strava + music without your phone, you’re already above the “basic smartwatch” level. Quick take: Forerunner 165 → great running watch, but no real on-watch maps. Apple Watch SE → fine everyday watch, but not ideal if you want to run without your phone and rely on maps

What watch should I buy for my son who is studying to become a nurse?
