    It seems to work well. Small to no learning curve. Easy and great watch for 7 to 9 year old. GPS seems pretty accurate. We like them so far…

    Our oldest entered middle school this year and we are no where near ready to get them a phone. This works perfect. User can talk to text and there are a number pre programmed responses they can use. Gps also allows us to program key locations so we know when they arrive and leave certain locations (I.e. home, school, bus stop). Highly recommend.

    We wanted something that could communicate, track activities and track chores that our child did and this watch is it. Preset messages or voice recordings are great and the app runs very smoothly making this a reliable watch!
  • Great app!

    This app is great! You can control almost anything, and there is a fun game for your kids to play. With the Garmin Bounce watch your able to text your kid back and forth from the app and the profile pictures are customizable. Overall great app and very helpful.

    I am at the minimum age for the real app, but we got this one because we thought we could pair an adult watch and add parental controls or chores. And I saw the kids watches at target and they seem like they’re for about 4-8 years old. Since I am at the minimum age, we got the normal app. I think Fitbit ace three is better for kids who don’t want a babyish watch but I totally recommend garmin for teens and adults
