I'm sure it works in theory but wearing that for however long sounds a bit much. Now, is it a good idea? That's a whole another can of worms.

Reasonable point, but people have worn watches all day for centuries. Just clean then and rotate wrists.

Something that big and heavy on a kid's arm is going to get uncomfortable after like ten minutes.

One watch, the Garmin Bounce, weights 37.2 g. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/714945#specs

Hardly heavy.

I have a Pixel Watch that's about that size (36g IIRC), and I don't like wearing it, and I'm a grown adult.

I got my kids cheap Casios, and they're like 20g. Way better.
