Everyone’s asking about kids' smartwatches right now - and the market is a jungle. Some look shiny, but when it comes to GPS accuracy and privacy? Total letdowns. Here's why this matters: when you hand your kid a smartwatch, you're not buying a gadget - you're buying peace of mind. Location, safety, and trust. That's it. What to look for: - Real-time GPS (not "maybe your kid's somewhere in a 3-block radius"). - Parent-only contact control (no random texts or calls sneaking in). - No data leaks (cheap knockoffs love to cut corners on privacy). Here's the move I'd make if I were you: start with the Gabb Watch or Garmin Bounce. They strike the right balance - strong GPS, strong privacy, no unnecessary distractions. If your child's older and you're ready to loosen the reins, then maybe an Apple Watch with Family Setup. At the end of the day, shiny features don't matter if you can't trust the basics. How would you handle this? If you've tried a kids' smartwatch, what worked - and what was a total fail?

Can data make us healthier or just more informed? (Sharing a great example below 👇) We track everything — sleep, glucose, stress, heart rate — yet we still can’t connect one single biomarker to overall well-being. Because numbers alone don’t create health; understanding and action do. That’s why innovations like @InsideTracker have caught my attention — it’s one of the few platforms that connects different data points and translates them into clear, actionable insights. I’m curious to try it and see how it can turn information into transformation. #Innovation #HealthTech #Wellness #Data #DigitalHealth #PersonalizedHealth #Longevity #FutureOfHealth
