Way better than other fitness trackers
This is a great watch for your big kid. We had used other fitness trackers, but they were hard to sync and the battery was always dying. This is waterproof, easy to use, and you can change the battery yourself! Our 8 year old loves this, and we love that he can keep track of time and steps.

Good kid activity tracker, but be prepared – display is dim
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.

Loved it but it dislodged from the watch band and now lost
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 foreverðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ 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.

The battery lasts a year!
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.

Great watch for kids!
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.

Does not hold up
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 8 year old LOVES this watch!
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!

Perfect for kids.
I got this watch for my 9-year-old son. He loves it, he can check his daily steps, his sleep log, and he can check his chores off. His favorite part of this watch is the daily steps and sleep log. It has a long battery life and is very durable.

My daughter truly enjoyed this watch, the gamification makes it interesting for her to travel the world on the app (came with games, quizzes, etc. about the world) – the more she moved during the day, the more she was able to do in the app. There is also a chore/reward feature great for parents to instill good habits. So are preprogrammed, others can be drafted. Good battery life as well – over a year so far. There is also a competition mode if a parent has a Garmin watch as well.

There’s so much junk out there when it comes to kids watches. Not this one. Garmin brand would never make that mistake. My granddaughter is so fussy and she lives this watch. Perfect features for children.
