Hand Your Apple Watch Down to a Child or Older Relative

If your old Apple Watch is a cellular model, it can still do a lot of things even if it’s not connected to an iPhone. That can make it a good fit for a child who doesn’t have their own iPhone yet. You can still locate them and even have a chat, without having to buy a whole iPhone for someone who might not be ready yet. Plus, it’s a great way to introduce them to the Apple ecosystem one device at a time.

On the other hand, you can give it to an older member of the family. Your parents or grandparents might not want to deal with a brand new smartphone, as they might find it a bit complicated. However, a smaller, simpler Apple Watch can still give them a ton of benefits, like calls, messages, and location. Plus, you can also set up safety features like Fall Detection, so you’re always alerted in case of an emergency.
