Garmin vivofit jr. 3, Fitness Tracker for Kids, Includes Interactive App Experience, Swim-Friendly, Up to 1-Year Battery Life, Lilac Floral

We’ve had Garmin Vivofit Jr. 3 watches for about two years now—three for our kids and one replacement (only because one was lost!). These are the perfect introductory watches for kids. There’s no need for WiFi or a cellular plan, and the battery lasts well over a year—huge plus. The watches are very durable. Our kids wear them everywhere—playing outside, getting them wet, through daily wear and tear—and they’ve held up great. The app interface is easy to use, and the chore tracking has become a super helpful tool for our family. It’s turned daily tasks into something fun and rewarding. Our kids also love the activity challenges—it keeps them active and a little competitive in a healthy way. The only feature we wish it had is a “find my watch” function—maybe a way to make it beep or ping. That would’ve saved us from replacing the one we lost. We’ve tried third-party bands, but they didn’t hold the watch as securely as Garmin’s official ones, so we definitely recommend sticking with the originals. Overall, we highly recommend the Vivofit Jr. 3. It’s been an excellent, screen-free tool that builds responsibility and gets our kids moving.

My 8yr old girl loved getting this as a gift. It has definitely made her more excited about being active whereas she used to just want to play in her room all day. She actually said “Let’s go farther so I can get more steps” on a walk we took the other day. The active minutes is another helpful metric for her to try to hit. This watch uses gamification to establish healthy habits in kids. Incidentally, it is also a great way to build math skills. Just having them read off the steps in the thousands and ten thousands is great practice. We’ve also had convos like “How many more minutes do you have to move until you reach your goal of 60 min?” Three observations: 1) it is a little hard to read indoors, but not too bad. 2)I had issues syncing it after I set it up. Garmin’s support forums and pages helped me solve that. 3)I haven’t dug into the chores and rewards yet, but that could help with incentivizing in other areas too. I am actually going to buy another one for her older brother who is wanting to track activity and earn rewards. There is an option to allow profiles to go head to head but I haven’t decided if that will inspire or discourage, but it could be fun depending on how your kids are wired.

We bought two of these trackers for our kids ages 8 and 11. About 6 weeks into use and everyone loves them. The kids love seeing their sleep and tracking their steps and activity progress. It's fun that as parents with Garmin watches too that we can have step challenges between the family.

We actually bought this for our 7 year old as a potty watch (long story). All the watches we were finding didn’t have the option for multiple alarms, but this one does. We set an alarm every 2 hours and it works great. There’s also alarms for bedtime, chores, etc. it’s cute and comfortable as well. It’s a bit expensive for a kids watch, but it was worth it to us. It has held up great, especially considering she has broken watches in the past. My only complaint is the app, it’s supposed to track her sleep and steps, but it doesn’t. We synced it to my phone and everything. It just won’t stay synced, but that’s okay. We didn’t buy it for those reasons anyways.

My 7 and 9 year old boy and girl love their watches! Like some have said, the screen is dark and my older eyes can't see it very well, but the kids have never complained about it. We added their chores to the app so they can earn coins. They love doing the adventure every evening, after they get their 60 minutes of activity. They regularly "cash in" their coins for rewards we came up with (front seat for one week, overnight at grandparents, stay up late, choose dinner, movie night, trip to the park, etc.)

The watch is absolutely amazing and my kids love .The app is also great.Unfortunately the battery hasn't lasted even for 6 months since purchase.

My daughter has the Disney version of this (7 yo, purchased when she was 5-6 yo) and loves it. We love the step and activity tracking, but the chore function is also great! Definitely helps her be aware of her daily chores and routines. You can points for doing the chores and then craft rewards that can be "redeemed" through the app. We ended up buying this version for her cousin (9 yo) and she also loves it. Beware that to use the full functionality the kid and parent will both need to access the app on the phone daily or multiple times a day.

I read all the reviews and we decided to try it even though many reviews said the screen was too dark, as we couldn't find anything else that offered what we needed. There are many things we love about it and it is ALMOST perfect for our 8 year old ADHD daughter. HOWEVER the other reviews are spot on. The screen so dark it is unreadable in anything other than bright light. Such a disappointment as this seems like it would be such an easy fix for Garmin to make the screen more visible. If they would just fix that one thing this watch would be absolutely fabulous. As it is, we are returning it because the darkness makes it almost . C'mon Garmin!

Daughter loves it. Fits great. Programmable alarms are fantastic reminders. Easy to use app and she enjoys playing the games and unlocking extra pictures and coins.
