The Best Affordable Watches for 2026? Ice-Watch x Apple "Find My" Tech & Swiss Made Reveals

Could this be the ultimate peace-of-mind for parents? We sat down with Jean-Pierre Lutgen, the founder and CEO of Ice-Watch, to discuss their game-changing new technology. Known for their colorful silicone DNA and accessible luxury, Ice-Watch is now the first in the industry to integrate Apple Find My technology directly into their timepieces.

In this exclusive interview, we explore:

The Apple Find My Agreement: How you can now track your children's location directly from your iPhone without a bulky, expensive smartwatch.

Ice-Watch DNA: Why they focus on high-quality silicone, vibrant colors, and affordability.

The Kids & Sports Collections: A look at the new ICE Smart Junior 3.0 and geolocatable analog models.

Watch People: Introducing their brand-new Swiss-Made sister brand for collectors who want that premium "Swiss Made" label with Ice-Watch’s signature style.

With over 5,000 locations worldwide, Ice-Watch is redefining what an "accessible" watch can do. Whether you're a fashion lover or a concerned parent, this 2026 collection has something for everyone.
