No, but the ones that can reach your child do.
The subscription pays for a mobile data connection. Any watch offering calling, messaging or live location needs one, because those features run over a cellular network. Fitbit's Ace Pass is $9.99 per month or $120 per year. Garmin's kids plans are $9.99 per month. Apple Watch SE with Family Setup requires a carrier plan.
Offline devices and screen-free health bands generally have no subscription. The useful rule: if it can contact your child, it has a monthly cost. Full arithmetic in our two-year cost article.
