I am so sad to report that the application has been very unreliable! I miss messages from my son unless I close and reopen the app nearly every single time he sends a message or voice message. This could be tragic in the case that he needed to communicate important information! The microphone built into the watch is also underwhelming, though I can hear what he says well enough. He loves the step tracking feature. It would be great if the watch sent the child reminders to charge the watch overnight to encourage independence with upkeep.

We were looking for a non-phone, waterproof option for our daughter. She loves being outside with her friends, but we don’t know where she was and had no way of contacting her. This watch is perfect for that. It works great.
Almost there!

Got this for our 11 year old who wants a phone. We’re trying to hold off as long as we can but we do need a way to reach her when she’s running around the neighborhood or away and sleep away camps. It’s great for tracking and sending a quick message. I wish we could call her on it. I also wish we could add phone numbers to message her without allowing them to track her. I’d like my mom - her grandma to be able to message her without knowing where she (and I) are 24/7. So close Garmin!!! Maybe an update could make these things happen??

Simple and easy to use, have a few Garmin devices and like them all for different reasons. 1- I wish they would all kind of work together better 2- the bounce claims to have up to 20 contacts to use messaging and 20 second voice recordings-BUT ITS ONLY TO OTHER BOUNCE USERS! Big downer because I wanted my kid to have a little taste of what all these kids have with their phones, but better control. She can’t contact any of her friends, and they can’t contact her. 3- tracking works well, giving her more freedom and the text to both us parents works well.

I bought this watch nearly a month ago for my 7 yr old to bring piece of mind of knowing I can locate him when he's off on a field trip or just outside playing nearby. I was amazed when I found out that you could assign chores or tasks with point values and set up a rewards system. For the educational friendly readers...it works like the PBIS system in schools. This watch has not only brought me piece of mind but it is also helping with teaching responsibility and behavior incentives with my twice exceptional child. It helps to keep him on track with his daily needs and I find it to be an excellent tool for ADHD management. Honestly the only thing I would love to have Garmin work on is making this completely waterproof rather than water resistant. That is the only downside I have found so far.
Great Watch

My kids love the watch the weather app they really like the fact that they can contact us is helpful. It is so convent when you have the names of the kids on the face of the watch. we have two boys and they have the same watch so with their names on it helps to tell them apart. Everything with just the watch is awesome. However the app for the parents is not as smooth as others. I wish you could control more and see more on the app and do more things. Over all it does what it needs to. Track the kids tells time. tracks steps. and that's all I wanted. I wish you got a deal on the "plan" for having 1 or more
Nice kid watch

This app has a delay with the real information. We think it could be improved. Also it does not show the exact location of my kid. Otherwise, it is a very good and useful product.

My wife has Alzheimer's so I was looking for a less expensive, very rugged AND not obvious as the usual trackers are. Many AZ patients will not wear pendants. The watch is perfect as AZ patients will admire the watch and the larger screen are good for old eyes. Low and behold along comes Bounce. What a good starting point. . Ways to make it better for kids and people who need to be tracked. Allow caretaker to adjust the time period reporting period> For example: 30, 15, 10,5, 2 minutes. Display location checks posted to map. 30 minutes between reporting is far to long for any person to be unobserved in many cases. There is a market there for this watch way beyond where you are now.

So far my daughter and I love the watch. Full of features and the thing I like the most about it is that I can track when my daughter leaves school and I can live track her on the bus which is great because her bus is super inconsistent and it eliminates me being late to her stop or standing there for 35 extra minutes when her bus is late. I wish she could text other than pre made messages and to other mobile users in addition to people who download the Garmin app but at least she can get ahold of the people who really matter. Watch is bulky even she has said it but I reminded her that it has to be bulk for the amount of things it does and she’s okay with it. All things considered I’m happy with the investment.
Great way to keep in touch

We purchased this for our son because we’re not quite ready to give him a cell phone yet. However we wanted a way to reach him. He had a different smart watch for about five years and it was really important to us that he was also able to track his activity and his steps. This watch gives parents the ability to track their kids location. My only complaint is that the wristband that came with. It was hard to change my son preferred a nylon wristband and Garmin didn’t make it easy to get this one off.
Great for Non-Verizon, Gizmo Users

I liked the watch since it had almost all the features I needed, but unfortunately, it lacked phone call functionality for my child and me. As a result, we returned it and opted for an Apple SE watch instead.
Peace of mind!

We bought this for our 6 yo daughter. She’s going to summer camp which has many field trips. The location and timing of notifications are down to seconds. The moment we leave any boundary and we’re together we intermittently receive a notification that she has left the area!

As an everyday watch, the battery drained way too fast and my child isn't using anymore. Love the app, the chores features, the steps challenges, the games... great watch!! I love Garmin products. But until the battery last at least a week for a child - it isn't worth it. My child already lost interest in it under 4 weeks.

The watch is excellent for any parent who wants to let their kid outside near their home without worrying about where they are. I live on a military base which is safer than most neighborhoods today. So I can allow my kid to go and play and keep track of his location.
