Apple Watch

I got my daughter an Apple Watch to track her move calories. How do I get it out of kid mode? We all want to be able to challenge each other and be a more active family.

Locking Apple Watch While on Wrist - for parents with young kids I've read some other posts and it appears there is no way to lock the Apple Watch while on your wrist unless you disable the wrist detection function (which also disables Apple Pay). I'm writing to see if Apple would consider adding a feature to allow you to lock it while on your wrist (without having to take it off) without having to disable the wrist detection function. I have three small children and many times during feedings or while holding them, they do all sorts of things with my Apple Watch while it's on my wrist (open texts, open apps, etc.). It would be nice to be able to easily lock it while its still on my wrist so when I am holding / nursing my baby, they can't activate it.

Apple Watch for kids Dear Sir/Madam, I want an Apple Watch for a 10 years old boy so I can track him when he is out of home. Also, I want these features to be included: waterproof and school mode (for example an application for parents to freeze the games). May I know what Apple Watch do you recommend? Best

Apple Watch active minutes instead of calories? Can an adult use the watch with a younger age? Hi! i have a history of an eating disorder an Apple Watch but don’t want to see the word calories. There are so many studies about how dangerous that can be for people with a history or tendency towards unhealthy eating, as well as many anecdotes. Is there any way to do that? I love the idea of seeing minutes instead of calories. Would I be able to set my watch up for my 30something self as though i am 11 or 12? Would I lose functionality? And if Apple knows it is an issue for preteens, why wouldn’t they recognize that it can be a problem for older people, too?

If she is under 13 years old then the move goal will be in minutes not calories.
