Children’s smartwatches are a stripped-down version of a typical smartwatch, and they allow parents to restrict app downloads, usage and calls from an approved list of contacts.

All of that you can do with a phone too. I do admit thought the argument of not losing it as easily since its on your arm makes sense.
