I'm not a kid, but my watch streams Spotify to my earbuds so I don't need to have my phone with me outside.

Some schools aren't allowing smart watches either.

Aren't smart watches linked to your phone? As in just like earbuds they are useless without your phone in range of it.

Garmin watches can store and play Spotify playlists so you can listen to music without a phone nearby (Spotify subscription required, though).Â
