Not really. I guess there'd be 2 reasons you want to do this: 1. You don't trust your kid. In which case he could just take the watch off and leave it somewhere you don't mind him being before picking it up on the way home from where ever you didn't want him to be. 2. You don't trust other people (kidnappers? Paedophiles etc). In which case it wouldn't work because you have to get the watch back before you can see where it's been. You could always inject a chip into your kid...erk. http://www.thecheers.org/Tech/article_734_Get-identified-under-your-skin.html

First, no, it's too big for a normal child to wear. Second, also no, you'd have to be crazy to strap a 325 dollar watch to a kid's wrist. Third, still no, you have to bring the watch back to the computer to download the data, which defeats the point, and fourth, keep track of your damn kid yourself.
