Garmin vivofit jr.

We purchased this watch for my 6 years old son who was dreaming of having a fitness watch. With all the excitement of the world we set it up and off he goes, 2 months later band broke completely so he can’t wear it anymore. The cost for original band half of the price for a brand new watch. Obviously when we took it back, this was not covered by warranty. My older son had the Fitbit Ace2 for over a year and works beautifully. Such a waste of money.

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.

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.

pathetic organisation, pathetic product, the bands continually tear and the new product I received burnt my 7 year olds arm as it got too hot. I contacted the company and am still awaiting a call back. That’s how much they care about the customers ( little kids )
Shame on you Garmin keep taking money and don’t worry about the aftermath

I have purchased 2 Garmin vivofit jr and had nothing but trouble with them. After purchasing the second one I bought a warranty with it and have had to have it replaced 4 times! Twice the screen got a black dot in the middle of the display and you couldn't read the numbers correctly and twice my daughter has woken up one morning to find that the animal character you get to pick on the front screen has reverted back to a dinosaur and only half of the functions are available when you try to scroll through the menu. On top of that the bands don'...

I have 3 of these for my kids. My son's has been replace 4 times with screen faults. The first appeared after 3 weeks! All of my kids now have screen faults on their watches. Garmin support is non responsive. Save your kids the sadness of busted watches and a poorly updated app and buy something else. The idea is great the product and app are rubbish!

I purchased 2 of these this month. One for my 7yo and one for my 8yo. Neither are overly big children, both are skinny. The band fits my 7yo snuggly but is too small for my 8yo. Of course you can get new and bigger bands, but it will cost another $40. Really should not be advertised for 4-9yo. Definitely pass it up if your child is over 5.

September 30th 2018 Update: Absolutely rubbish product

I purchased 2 of these last Christmas for my kids.
The band's were small. Way too small.
By March I had to return band #1 to Big W. It was alre...
