Watches with timers?

[k3am]

Any recommendations for a kid's watch that I can set multiple timers on per day? Preferably something that's EASY to program?

DD's distance learning program has 9 kids in it, and all 9 have different schedules. And Tuesdays are early out days, so Tuesday is an entirely different schedule. The facilitator has no less than 40 timers on her phone, but her breaks don't always coincide with the kid's breaks, and there have been occasions where DD wasn't paying enough attention on her own to get logged in.

Looking to have something that I can program in advance for her (preferably not needing to do it every day.)  Bonus points if it's as easy to program as Alexa is.

Could you use an old phone and use the alarm function? I think that is my plan if we have lots of on and offs.

186momx, potentially. I'll have to ask the school. But she would have no way to carry it around with her when she's not at her desk.

We have an old ipod that we may have a charger for that I could wipe. We do have an old phone she's been using at home, but it has too much distraction potential since it has games and whatnot on it.

Is she using a personal chrome book? I think you can download an app that will serve as a clock. I have a fancy garmin and I've never been able to figure out how to schedule alarms on it but I know it has that functionality.

We have a kids Garmin that has reminders. DD loves it.

ETA- it’s a Vívofit Jr.

District ipad. Same problem with the ipod we have.. the ipad stays at her desk, her body moves elsewhere.

Could she set a stopwatch for 10 minutes or whatever the break is each time vs doing a watch? Then She could wear it. I’ve seen people using stop watches or kitchen timers.

Fitbit is good too. DD2 is 7 and sets her timer often. I had no idea how to do it. She figured it out.

Does she need wear it? Because you can just set timers on your Alexa.

She's at a distance learning support program, so Alexa isn't around. I wish I had an Alexa everywhere. She basically runs my life now.
