Which smartwatch is most reliable?

I got my kids JrTrack 5 smart watches last week and so far am pretty disappointed. Up until yesterday morning there was a network outage and they wouldn't work off wifi at all. Now that the outage is "resolved," all the features only work in fits and starts. Calling, texting and tracking sometimes work, and sometimes don't. The watches need to be restarted all the time. All in all, so far there's no way I can rely on these things enough to send my kids out into the world with them.

Is there a watch that is generally more reliable? There are so many options and I have no idea which one to try. Thanks.

Cosmo JrTrack 5 suddenly can't call, but can still text

I bought two JrTrack 5s for my kids and we're trying to get the hang of them. They were working well enough, until suddenly my daughter's watch wouldn't make or receive calls. My son's still would still do calls for a while, but then it stopped to. Call connecting is already set to optimized (there's no option to turn it off). Both watches can still text. Can anyone help me here? If these things are this unreliable, I'm going to return them and try Bark, I guess.

Did anyone have leg pain 11 weeks post op and ultimately get better?

I had a MD in October. Had a revision MD in March. I still have lots of sciatic pain. I had an MRI at 4 weeks post op and there was no reherniation. Do I have any hope of getting better or is this going to be the rest of my life?

Hi, I had a back injury 9 months ago. I had a microdiscectomy, followed by a revision microdiscectomy, and my back and leg problems have gotten only marginally better. My life is still a mess due to disabling symptoms. The surgeons I've seen keep telling me they don't want to do a fusion because I'm too young (mid-30s). I don't have a good understanding of why my age should keep me from getting a fusion. Is it because of ASD and the possibility of further fusions in the future? If someone could clear this up for me I would appreciate it, because it looks like plenty of people younger than me get fusions.

I have young kids and the months are flying by, while I'm unable to be the father, husband or employee I used to be. I'm not sure that buying a few good years now in exchange for more surgeries in the future sounds like such a terrible idea.
