Reasonable point, but people have worn watches all day for centuries. Just clean then and rotate wrists.

Something that big and heavy on a kid's arm is going to get uncomfortable after like ten minutes.

One watch, the Garmin Bounce, weights 37.2 g. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/714945#specs

Hardly heavy.

That's not so bad. I was looking at the picture in the article. That thing is enormous compared to the kid's arm.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 4 days ago

Understandable, the watch is the photo does appear large. Kid's arms are tiny.

I have a Pixel Watch that's about that size (36g IIRC), and I don't like wearing it, and I'm a grown adult.

I got my kids cheap Casios, and they're like 20g. Way better.
