Does anybody here have any experience with the T-Mobile syncup watch 2? Any dos/donts/tips/tricks/lessons learned with regards to kids smartwatches? Please share your thoughts.

My nephew had that watch and his parents like it a lot. The only complaint is they got rid of the standalone app and now all the settings/tracking is a few clicks in the main tmobile app.

Yeah the tmobile app is wonky, but at least the message and call go through regular call/sms. It's been pretty good so far.
