Description

When paired with a compatible Garmin kid’s wearable device, the Garmin Jr.™ app¹ is a parent’s resource for keeping track of kids’ activity² and sleep, managing chores and rewards and encouraging daily activity.

With a compatible LTE-capable device, parents can also stay connected to their kids with texts, voice messages or voice calls to and from the device. They can track their location on the map in the Garmin Jr.™ app, set boundaries and receive alerts related to those boundaries. Your kids will only be able to interact with the people you add to your family in the app.

  • Call and receive calls from your child’s compatible Garmin device.*

Livetrack and calls never work, so basically you get a simple cheap watch for your kid to look at. I am in an open park with 5G connection on my phone and the watches have no signal. Don't buy a bounce watch, it does not work.

Not really good. Most features work reasonably well, but some critical features are missing or unreliable. Unreliable connection to the watch (messages not getting sent), limited control over certain settings e.g. only one down time setting for the full week. Some games for the kids are only available on parents devices. There's no useful "kids app". Emergency contacts should be reachable even after downtime (sleep time) for example during sleepovers.

Location is temperamental

For something I need to pay $17 monthly subscription for (and I’m only paying for the location and chat function), I expect the location to always work. Yet it does not. It’s temperamental at best. If you’re thinking of getting the subscription for location tracking, save your money.

Phenomenal

As an OT I always recommend this watch. It is so clever! Can add lots of little alarm reminders and give kids a sense of control over their day

Easy to understand and use, but hard to get the Garmin paired to the app.
