Summary of reviews
The Garmin Vivofit Jr 3 is designed for kids, offering features like step tracking, chore management, and rewards that encourage active lifestyles. Many guests appreciate its ease of use and the fun it brings to daily activities. However, the watch's dim display has been a common concern, making it difficult for children to read the time in low light. Overall, it serves as a great motivational tool for kids, but improvements in visibility would enhance the experience.

Overall its a good watch but the screen is really really bad, you can't see anything until you press the backlit button. Other than that, its a good watch and tracks decent metrics for the kids to keep them active etc.
Disappointingly poor quality

I read the reviews about the dim screen and poor quality but decided to take a chance and see for myself. Well, the reviews were right! It was very difficult to view the time and other features on the watch if your hand is not at the right angle. Otherwise you would constantly have to click the button to make the watch light come on, that was a pain. The screen also wasn't very secure. I returned before giving to my son for Christmas and went with another brand. I would have kept the watch if it weren't for the 2 issues. Everything else about it was great.
Terrible screen!

Gift for my daughter. She was excited to track her steps and chores but the screen is SO DARK!! We are returning it. Their marketing images show bright/normal display but unless you are outside on a sunny day or inside with a bright overhead light, you will little to no visibility on the screen. We are disappointed and are returning it.

Badams821 - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this as a gift for my 9 year old for Christmas. She had been asking for a fitness tracker watch. She loves that she can keep track of the steps, use a stopwatch and see when she meets certain goals. I like that we don't have to charge the watch (battery life it's it should last about a year!). I also like that I can give her tasks/chores and then mark them off in the app. The sleep tracker is fairly accurate too! The negative so far is only that I can't download the app onto her Firetablet so the app is only on my phone (she does not have a phone). This is a minor problem for us, however. I'll definitely be purchasing one for my other kiddos when they ask for one!

Bought this for my son for Christmas, he loves showing me that he met his goals. I like the exploration game that he can earn new levels by meeting his goals as it also helps him do some fun reading.

We bought this for our daughter (11 years old) for Christmas, and she loves it. I (Dad) also have a Garmin watch, and now we compete to see who can get the most steps in a day. We walk together, helping her get her steps in during the day. It is a great introduction watch/activity tracker. She enjoys the different challenges in the app as well.
Great watch for kids!

Faulty Battery which has leaked battery acid

Bkir016 - 4 months ago

Bought one in September as a Christmas present for my daughter. Put away and opened on Christmas Day. Started off great and Miss 8 was having great fun trying to beat her dad’s step count until day 5. On waking up the screen was frozen. A few attempts at pressing the button did nothing. After a while the watch face changed to the calendar icon. A press of the button brought up the connect icon and code. Figuring the battery had somehow died already I opened the device up to find the battery had leaked acid all through the device, causing visible damage to the internal surfaces of the device. Removed the battery and cleaned the acid out. Replaced battery but device is now just repeating the same as at the start of day 5. Will be returning as soon as we return from holiday. Garmin really need to reconsider the replaceable battery for this device. Would hope this is an isolated incident though.

Display of this watch is too small and very dark. Without back light it’s impossible to see the hour. After few hours of using we decided to send it back.

Wanted to love this watch, setup was extremely easy, love the way it was made, super comfortable on my daughter but the watch screen is not really visible in dim or dark lights. Was great in bright lights but during the night it was extremely hard to see the time.
Love this watch! Kids wear it everyday.

This is the 2nd Garmin jr 3 watch we have purchased. One for our 1st child, 3 years ago and now one for our 2nd child. Holds up well and kids love telling us who walked the most steps each day.
My 8 year-old loves it!

Kait - 11 months ago
My son LOVED this, but six months after getting it, the screen fell out. I thought it was a fluke and was going to buy him a new one, but after reading the reviews, it clearly happens a lot.
1 reply from GarminProductExpert team - 9 months ago
Thank you for the review, Kait! No need to buy a new one. Our watches come with a 1-year warranty. Just contact Garmin's support team to work out an arrangement for a replacement. As an aside, if the module itself slipped out of the band, that may simply mean the band has gotten a bit stretched out OR is strapped on too tight. If the issue is something else, our support team should get you sorted out.

My 7 year old really enjoyed this, she liked tracking her steps and telling the time. Unfortunately, after less than 5 months, the face fell out and she's very upset. Something made for young children should hold up better.
