It does exist in the US. The MyTickTalk.com watch, we have 2, it does everything Dave is looking for. They work really well. I posted more in this thread.

In the US it does, myticktalk.com. We have 2 of the watches for the kids. It meets all the requests in the thread, boring watch to the kids, video, calls, texts, full control and tracking by the parents, no phone nearby needed, and more. HA integrations (I have not tried them though). Buy the watch, and buy an optional data plan for $10. Pinwheel and the TickTalk got a lot of similarities in the watches but no games on the TT which is what we wanted. To many of the devices do gamefication of the usage of them (Garmin and Google)

Yes that $10 a month is just the option cellular data plan in the US. No issues with the tracking of the both watches we have for the two kids, both are the 5. We gave had them for 7 months. We like them because they are boring to the kids, we can restrict who they call/text and who calls/texts them.

We have https://www.myticktalk.com/ for our kids. It does everything you need, there are HA integrations, however I have not tried them. It’s specifically designed for kids, no games so their eyeballs won’t be glued to it. All the other watches that had the features you listed also had gamification of the usage of the watch by the kids, this does not. Every aspect of the watch and app features are configurable and controlled by the parent.

It’s in the article that they were responding to. So you are just wildely throwing out negativity without any comprehension.

Interesting, the telematics module is sold separately at $275.00. So for everyone worrying about spying, for this vehicle you got to opt-in and pay extra for it.
