Garminvivofit jr. 3, Fitness Tracker for Kids, Includes Interactive App Experience, Swim-Friendly, Up To 1-year Battery Life, Lilac Floral

My nine-year-old son already had one of these but an older version. My daughter has been begging for one because of that. She is thrilled to track her steps and loves the other features that come with it. We are very happy with the Garmin as a smart watch, just wish I could make calls or text. That’s a whole different watch though.😏 highly recommend as a starter watch.

Love this watch for my 7 year old. Durable and Easy to use and I like that it does not have games available so it’s not overly distracting. The app is fun to use and she loves knowing the time and seeing her steps and things on the watch itself. I also love that it doesn’t need constant charging. Highly recommend!!

My daughter has the Disney version of this (7 yo, purchased when she was 5-6 yo) and loves it. We love the step and activity tracking, but the chore function is also great! Definitely helps her be aware of her daily chores and routines. You can points for doing the chores and then craft rewards that can be "redeemed" through the app. We ended up buying this version for her cousin (9 yo) and she also loves it. Beware that to use the full functionality the kid and parent will both need to access the app on the phone daily or multiple times a day.

The watch is amazing, my kids absolutely love it. The tracker falls out of the watch band very easily. We’ve had them for 5 months- the first two months were great, after that the tracker started popping off. Wish there was a solution

The girls enjoyed meeting goals on this watch. They quickly learned how to navigate the menus and buttons. They also loved playing the games on the Garmin jr. App. My only issue was that I needed a smaller band for my daughter and couldn’t find one so it was a little loose. A plus is that the battery lasts a whole year before it needs replacing.

I was looking for a watch that doesn't have a ton of games on the watch for my daughter. She wanted to track her steps and sleep but didn't want to get in trouble like some of her friends at school (who have the ability to play "games" on thier watch). My daughter and I picked out this watch and it has been everything she wanted! She loves the color, the personalization options, and the fit. She can wear this all day without complaint and says the material is comfy. I love the corresponding app, too! On the app, chores and goals can be set and it will sync to the child's watch. We loved this watch so much that we also bought my son the star wars one! In my opinion, this is the best children's watch.

I read all the reviews and we decided to try it even though many reviews said the screen was too dark, as we couldn't find anything else that offered what we needed. There are many things we love about it and it is ALMOST perfect for our 8 year old ADHD daughter.HOWEVER the other reviews are spot on. The screen so dark it is unreadable in anything other than bright light. Such a disappointment as this seems like it would be such an easy fix for Garmin to make the screen more visible. If they would just fix that one thing this watch would be absolutely fabulous. As it is, we are returning it because the darkness makes it almost . C'mon Garmin!

My 8yr old girl loved getting this as a gift. It has definitely made her more excited about being active whereas she used to just want to play in her room all day. She actually said “Let’s go farther so I can get more steps” on a walk we took the other day. The active minutes is another helpful metric for her to try to hit. This watch uses gamification to establish healthy habits in kids. Incidentally, it is also a great way to build math skills. Just having them read off the steps in the thousands and ten thousands is great practice. We’ve also had convos like “How many more minutes do you have to move until you reach your goal of 60 min?”Three observations:1) it is a little hard to read indoors, but not too bad.2)I had issues syncing it after I set it up. Garmin’s support forums and pages helped me solve that.3)I haven’t dug into the chores and rewards yet, but that could help with incentivizing in other areas too.I am actually going to buy another one for her older brother who is wanting to track activity and earn rewards. There is an option to allow profiles to go head to head but I haven’t decided if that will inspire or discourage, but it could be fun depending on how your kids are wired.
