Watch/phone

[jennyjoan]

I saw a little boy talking into a wristwatch so it was also a phone. How much are these. Thanks

Maybe he just liked talking to his watch.

[jennyjoan]

no OG - it is a "talky" watch. I also saw a lady talking into one a few weeks ago.

The watch is usually an accessory to a phone rather than have its own gsm connectivity.

The most popular, the Apple watch is £440 and you need a £1000 to use it. One lucky little boy.

gromit - maybe it was an accessory to the phone

* you need a £1000 iPhone to use it. *

The watch tethers to the phone.

[jennyjoan]

ok - it is just when I looked at ebay they are only like £5 - to £10. I'm not a techie person so don't really know how it would work. But I'll not worry too much at the price you are quoting

[bednobs]

what would you want it for JJ? perhaps someone can suggest something at a cheaper price to achieve what you want

[Gromit]

A lot of my friends have the iPhone/Apple Watch combo. I have resisted because I really do not see the point.

[jennyjoan]

Thanks Bed - no I don't even use an ordinary mobile phone as I have difficulty hearing on them. Was just curious at the price.

If you look on Amazon there are lots of kids phone/watches that basically track where the kids are and that they can call people and play games on. They need a SIM card. Prices vary from £15 upwards.

Smart watches are linked to cell phone. They need daily charging, nuisance :(
