The device was not an ordinary smartwatch made by Apple or Samsung, but a special type that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had mandated the woman wear at all times, allowing the agency to track her.

So it’s a new kind of tracking bracelet, similar to the old ankle tags? Calling it a smartwatch seems slightly misleading, even if not technically inaccurate.
