  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • You're listening to roundtable with myself.

  • Hey young.

  • I'm joined by Yu Shun and Gao Zhenya in the studio.

  • Coming up, while some parents view smart watches as a safer alternative to smartphones for kids, offering location tracking without the additional risks of full fledged devices, there's a catch.

  • These watches can become quite addictive, that children struggle to put them down even during mealtimes or even when it's time for bed.

  • So let's talk about it.

  • Are smart watches for kids a convenience or cause for concern?

  • And you can always find us on Apple Podcast at Roundtable, China.

  • And there's Xiaoyuzhou, Spotify and all major international platforms where we live on.

  • And if you have a question that you'd like us to answer in a future show, whether it be something about that happened in the news or something you've been wandering about, you can email us a voice memo to ezfmrroundtableoxmail.com.

  • and it'd be fantastic and super supportive of you if you could include your name as well as region of residence in that voice memo.

  • So we know a little bit more about you as we're answering your question.

  • And now on Roundtable, as we move on to the next topic of today, we're diving into the world of smart watches and why they're causing quite a stir among elementary school kids.

  • These watches have evolved from basic gps trackers to mini computers on your wrist, offering everything from video calls to online education.

  • But with all these features, some kids are finding it hard to focus on anything else, even staying up late to chat or play games.

  • And we've probably been there.

  • The relentless competition to own the latest model is hardly beneficial.

  • So let's take a look at first of all, lots of parental complaints.
