Garmin vivofit jr. 3, Fitness Tracker for Kids, Includes Interactive App Experience, Swim-Friendly, Up To 1-year Battery Life, Blue Stars

The display is quite dim with no backlight on compared to most wearables, but - it goes much longer on a battery (1 year of battery life) and it is for kids, so it is better for low-light environments.All other features are really nice, activity/sleep tracking work well and game elements added are inspiring kids to exercise more.

My daughter LOVES her watch, it tracks her steps and easy for her to tell time. UNFORTUNATELY, she was playing soccer and somehow the watch popped out of the watch band. She has lost it on the soccer field and like a needle in a haystack it’s lost forever😭😭😭😭 So frustrating that the band came loose. Wondering if she had been fiddling with it and stetched it slightly so the watch wasn’t sitting in a fitted capsule anymore. I’d love a replacement from the company to remedy the loss.

After my daughter downloaded the app my grandson was thrilled with the watch and immediately was on the move.

The positives: The battery life is LONG - like a year! it's the only watch I've found for kids that doesn't need to be charged and keeps going. The size is just right for kids under 11/12. Bigger than than they start to need something a bit larger. The rubber band is strong and doesn't rip easily, however, I've had to replace this watch a couple of times because on occasion, the watch piece will just fly out. Sometimes we can find it, and sometimes we cant. So that is less than ideal. The app is pretty user friendly, it syncs via bluetooth. I can set alarms and reminders, but you have to also re-sync the watch with the app, or else your watch will keep that alarm and reminder for perpetuity! Overall, a great option for a watch for a kid. Nothing else I've found has the functionality and the year long battery power.

Loved this watch for my kid who used it everyday for 3 months.The connection to the phone was always a bit cumbersome and the graphics on the phone were sometimes hard to see, but it did motivate my kid to get his steps.After about 3 months of regular use, the band that holds the watch face had become looser and the watch face could slip out too easily. The watch face eventually slipped out of the band during regular wear and the kid didn't notice because he still has the bad on. When contacting Garmin, they did not try to assist in anyway.

My 2nd grader asked for a watch for months but I was having a hard time deciding what to buy. One of her friend's has this one and my daughter liked the way it looked, so I went for it. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side for an 8 year old, but this is the perfect first watch! Aside from telling time, my daughter's favorite features are the step counter, the timer, and the ability to earn coins by doing chores that I can set up via the app. She has been wearing it almost 24/7 (including during swim practice and showers) for two months without any issues. Now she wants to change out the band and try other colors, which is a neat option. Highly recommend this watch!

I bought this for my 6 year old. I was hesitant because of all the reviews complaining about how dark the screen is. The screen is a bit dark but it has not been a problem for us. I think it keeps him from getting distracted by it and he can hold the button to make it bright if needed. We love all the features, from chore tracking and rewards to activity points to the game.

My 8yr old son loves it because it tracks sleep, chores, steps, activity, and you can redeem rewards from completed chores. I can see all his progress from an app on my phone. My only dislike is it is battery operated, not rechargeable. The battery lasts a year it says so we’ll see. I haven’t had to change the battery in this watch yet bc we just got it but I’m hesitant bc of bad experience with watch batteries in the past from other watches. I’m hopeful though.I’m watching closely for a sale on these again to get one for my daughter.
