Looking for the perfect back-to-school kids' watch? You don't need an Apple Watch SE.

Customizing the Eejie on a Fitbit Ace LTE.

Most public schools are starting back up this week, and many parents want to find a kids' smartwatch that (A) lets them keep in touch, (B) can track their location if they leave school unexpectedly, and (C) prevents having to buy their kid a smartphone for another few years.

Many people buy an affordable Apple Watch SE for this purpose since they can set it up via their own iPhone, set Schooltime activity blocks, and create makeshift geofencing with the Find My app. The problem is that this is a fully functional smartwatch for adults; you have to be more purposeful about setting it up and supervising its use so it's not too unrestricted or complicated for your kid.
