I wonder why they want to ban them outright instead of not allowing them in schools. It's also not clear from the article if they are banning particular, poorly secured smart watches, or all smart watches for kids altogether. The former seems more reasonable.

As others in this thread have said, it is against the law in Germany to have hidden listening devices, which they ruled these watches were.
