Love this product - Love this company as well
Fantastic product, I am petite person therefore wear the small child age 4-7 stretch band. I also wear the stretch band because I have lost previous fitness bands due to the clasp undoing. We have three different versions of the Garmin Fitbit in our house and I must say all three have been no trouble and are a great product to own. Love the fact I don't need to charge it, all our batteries have lasted past two years

My son absolutely loved it..
Bought as a present for my 8 year old. The Captain American band. He really loves wearing it in school and play.
Very durable as he keeps on bending it but still good .
Value for money I would say

Good product but terrible communication from Garmin.
The product itself is fine - however I won't ever buy anything from Garmin again.
Be aware that when you register your product, they will pester you with emails and there is no opt-out option. You cannot reply to their emails, there is no 'unsubscribe' link (is that legal???) and the link to the 'contact us' is broken.
I have tried messaging them on facebook and my message was ignored.
Won't ever be buying Garmin products again.
If you do register your product with garmin, be sure to give a false email address.

Garmin jr
My son loves his new smart watch. I am able to set him jobs and tasks through the app and his watch alarms to remind him. It gives him a bit of extra responsibility. Super easy to use with the app.

Poor quality & buggy
I bought this for my 9YO daughter in September 2018. It has been consistently difficult to sync with my iPhone. Recently she told me that it stopped tracking her steps. Now the strap has broken. We chose it over the equivalent fit bit. My daughter regrets this choice.

Average! Good for kids
Great watch for kids. Good watch to get kids to help out around the house with choirs and earn pocket money or any types of rewards.
Does not have gps. Yet, waterproof!

They could do better
I love the concept of the watch and my daughter loves it... but Garmin need to work out the faults/bugs when you are trying to sync it with parents phone. 9 time out of 10 it doesn’t work!

Great incentive for young kids
These are great watches which will see children challenge each other with steps etc.
The coins for tasks etc and setting personalised goals was great at first, but we all got over this fairly quickly as I found constantly having to update the app was a bit time consuming and it wasn't being kept up to date - I don't need to have my face in my phone any longer than what I already do for other things.
The bands do wear, as does the watch face so purchase with the expectation that they won't look like new for too long. It's kids being kids, alt...Read more
hough mine are generally very careful with things. There are many aftermarket bands available on eBay etc so your kids can have fun changing the styles too, so a broken band is not necessarily a bad thing! I have seen screen protectors available online from overseas, so this could always be an option for the face, however for us it's a bit late unfortunately. They do make great gifts and I would still recommend these to anyone who is considering purchasing one. Garmin do make fantastic products.Purchased in July 2021 at Big W Retail Stores for A$100.00.

My son loves it
I bought one of these for my sons birthday in December and he is forever wearing it. He loves tracking his steps and tells me throughout the day how many he does. Definitely promotes him to be more active. The actual watch itself is such great quality and looks great too.

Poor quality - battery replacement warning!
My son loved his. Surface got quite scratched and never really used the chore options. After 1 year the battery died and I followed the steps from Garmin to replace the battery. However the new battery died again after a week so I opened it up and noticed that water had gone in there!!! So disappointing. Now the watch is broken. Should come with a warning about battery replacement or at least improve it to be rechargable.

Great kids watch
My 7yo absolutely loves this watch! I bought this watch for his xmas present and he wears it everyday and never takes it off.
Pros
- We always compare how many steps we've done at the end of each day(he always wins)
- Rewards for getting chores done. He now makes his bed in the moring, remembers to unpack his bag at the end of the school day etc. This has worked better than expected.
- Preset multiple alarms for him (eg. wake up time, when to come home from friends house)
- Getting him set a timer for how long he can be on the ipad for.
I highly recommend this to other parents

Good kids tracker
Ha e three boys and three of these trackers. Bought 2 October 2018 and had to replace 1 in January this year as it stopped working. The other 2018 watch still works but the band has faded to close to white. Very disappointing. Sleep tracker is excellent to track your child’s quality of sleep. Can be a motivator for chores, as well as a way to see how active they are at school etc. they need to be more durable, however they have a 12 month replacement warranty so returns with Rebel was no issue.

Why Did We Not Buy Sooner?!
We purchased two of these for our sons aged 7 & 11, after being recommended them from a friend. The main reason we decided on this purchase was because we were hoping the daily tasks would help the kids remember their responsibilities without having to nag them ourselves all the time. I am happy to report it is working exactly as I had hoped. The boys are remembering to complete their chores and do them right away - as soon as they make the noise to alert them. The associated app is easy to use. The boys both love being able to see how man...Read more
y steps they have done (although I do wonder how accurate it is) and it keeps them wanting to move to build on the number. As they have never had watches before, they also love being able to know what the time is at a glance. We could not be happier with our decision to buy them each one and would highly recommend to other parents.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great for kids of all ages
My 7 and 9 year old love these! Easy to sync with my iphone and track. They loved having a watch but also the chores were a great incentive too. Found replaceable watch bands online via ebay easily too as my kids wrists will eventually get too big for them. It's a great unisex gift too.

Not a solid product.
I bought 2 of these bands for my kids and they don't sync properly to my samsung S8 phone. For the price you pay its not a very good product. You can't even change the battery after one year. I really hope they come up with a better version of it.

Love this gadget
This watch is the perfect little addition to my life. It has lots of different functions installed onto it, making it very useful and very worth it. The chore and reward features are some of the features that set this garmin apart from other watches. Was looking into this watch over the fitbit and I'm glad I got this one instead.

Great gift
Works well for my son!I bought this for my son for his 8th birthday. At first I thought it may be a little juvenile for him but he loves it. The chore and reward feature is awesome. He loves earning his coins. I would definitely recommend. We bought vivofit 3 bands online in multiple colors. He couldn't be happier.

Great kid’s product
Great kid’s product to wear as a watch and for counting steps. Durable and looks good. Our daughter is 9 and loves hers. Her band has lasted nearly a year and whilst still fine, could do with replacing. Will be purchasing another for our son this Christmas, he is six.
