    what's a Gizmo watch? sound's a bit faddish/silly. my gifting inspiration comes from my father: - a firm believer in only buying useful gifts for me and my brothers. once he really splashed out big and got us a lawnmower, I mean a proper one with a motor :-D .

      what are kids?

      When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

          Oh, those screaming things I eat. Weird that some humans implement ICloneable. Mine returns E_NOTSUPPORTED but then I'm gay and furthermore could only charitably be called human at this point. I'm told that has something to do with it.

            My take is to give them a mickey mouse watch and let them break it before giving them something that costs real money.

            I'd rather be phishing!

                easier and cheaper to find one at the nearest thrift store.

                      I don't have any Apple products at home - no phone/laptop/tablet/other-device. So I am not sure I want to spend that kinda money when there's no existing ecosystem to fit it into.

                                    I already have heard about it, but it is still a good read :thumbsup::thumbsup: Pity that the number of people that don't have a elephanting clue and / or ignore such warnings is much bigger than it should :sigh: :sigh:

                                    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                      I avoid as much as possible to have kids confronted to smart devices, so a smart watch is certainly the last thing I would buy them. :~ First, I do not know what possible electromagnetic waves these cheap chinese hardware are emitting (with cheap I mean the quality, not the price), so it does not sound healthy to get one permanently on a child's arm, and then, I have to battle already much so that they do not spend hours on our tablets/phones/etc... so a watch is definitely a no go.

                                      Do not escape reality : improve reality !

                                        Good points but we were mostly curious about the GPS tracking as a safety feature when dropping him off for classes. Also an easy way for him to stay in touch with us.

                                          Mine originally bought the mower for himself, but I learned to drive on it years before I was allowed behind the wheel of a car.

                                          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
