What is a Kids Smart Watch?

[Santiago]

I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for a kids smart watch and I’m curious what exactly a kids smart watch does compared to a regular smartwatch. What features does a kids smart watch usually have, and are they actually useful for safety or communication? Is a kids smart watch easy for younger children to use, and are there any important things parents should know before getting a kids smart watch? I’d love some honest opinions.
