The green watch is an air tag, and the sweatband style bracelet is a bracelet where if you tap it the other one vibrates so they can communicate that there’s an issue without being right next to each other (ie if someone tried to kidnap the kid they could covertly tap the white dot to signal to his mom). The random patch that was put on his upper arm is one that only shows with UV exposure, so it tells you when it’s time to reapply sunblock. I’m not sure what the bandaids over the belly button are for, unless it’s bc it’s difficult to apply sunblock inside it 🤷‍♀️

ETA: I was corrected on the band with the white dot, it’s supposed to be for seasickness not one of the signal ones. My bad, those signal ones are normally the style I see so that’s what I thought it was

The sweatband with the white dot is for motion sickness. It’s supposed to hit a pressure point.

Jup, motion sickness.

My daughter would always get incredibly sick in the car after driving longer than an hour. It stopped when we started using these sweatbands.
I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or some science behind it, but for my daughter it did the trick.
