    I love having the connectivity with my son without having to give him a phone at such a young age. The app is user friendly and the watch is as well. My two biggest reasons for losing two stars: 1) the lag time. It takes a while to connect to the watch when I’m trying to live track location. I’ll get alerts when he leaves home or school, but they’re typically delayed. I wish it was immediate, God forbid I really needed to know his location….(every parent knows where my head goes with that) 2) The audio messages are cut short to only 20 seconds and you can’t connect live like a phone call, which I guess I was under the impression you could. So that was a bit of a let down. Overall, we do love this as a stepping stone to have connectivity, and learn responsibility.

    The garmin jr watch is great. It sometimes has issues sending and receiving messages even with good cell service. But other than that love it
