Garmin vivofit jr. 3, Fitness Tracker for Kids, Includes Interactive App Experience, Swim-Friendly, Up To 1-year Battery Life, Blue Stars

I got this watch for my 9-year-old son. He loves it, he can check his daily steps, his sleep log, and he can check his chores off. His favorite part of this watch is the daily steps and sleep log. It has a long battery life and is very durable.

The display is quite dim with no backlight on compared to most wearables, but - it goes much longer on a battery (1 year of battery life) and it is for kids, so it is better for low-light environments.All other features are really nice, activity/sleep tracking work well and game elements added are inspiring kids to exercise more.

My 2nd grader asked for a watch for months but I was having a hard time deciding what to buy. One of her friend's has this one and my daughter liked the way it looked, so I went for it. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side for an 8 year old, but this is the perfect first watch! Aside from telling time, my daughter's favorite features are the step counter, the timer, and the ability to earn coins by doing chores that I can set up via the app. She has been wearing it almost 24/7 (including during swim practice and showers) for two months without any issues. Now she wants to change out the band and try other colors, which is a neat option. Highly recommend this watch!

The positives: The battery life is LONG - like a year! it's the only watch I've found for kids that doesn't need to be charged and keeps going. The size is just right for kids under 11/12. Bigger than than they start to need something a bit larger. The rubber band is strong and doesn't rip easily, however, I've had to replace this watch a couple of times because on occasion, the watch piece will just fly out. Sometimes we can find it, and sometimes we cant. So that is less than ideal. The app is pretty user friendly, it syncs via bluetooth. I can set alarms and reminders, but you have to also re-sync the watch with the app, or else your watch will keep that alarm and reminder for perpetuity! Overall, a great option for a watch for a kid. Nothing else I've found has the functionality and the year long battery power.

My son got this watch for Christmas. He takes it off for baths, so I know water damage shouldn’t be the issue. We tried replacing the battery as well. But the device just will not turn on. It’s a blank screen and makes no sounds. It’s like it just died. We have owned the earlier versions of the vivofit, and had no issues. Super disappointing because we are now out of the return window.

This is a great watch for your big kid. We had used other fitness trackers, but they were hard to sync and the battery was always dying. This is waterproof, easy to use, and you can change the battery yourself! Our 8 year old loves this, and we love that he can keep track of time and steps.

My daughter LOVES her watch, it tracks her steps and easy for her to tell time. UNFORTUNATELY, she was playing soccer and somehow the watch popped out of the watch band. She has lost it on the soccer field and like a needle in a haystack it’s lost forever😭😭😭😭 So frustrating that the band came loose. Wondering if she had been fiddling with it and stetched it slightly so the watch wasn’t sitting in a fitted capsule anymore. I’d love a replacement from the company to remedy the loss.

I bought this for my 6 year old. I was hesitant because of all the reviews complaining about how dark the screen is. The screen is a bit dark but it has not been a problem for us. I think it keeps him from getting distracted by it and he can hold the button to make it bright if needed. We love all the features, from chore tracking and rewards to activity points to the game.
