Why You Should Get a Smartwatch for Your Kids
In today’s fast-paced world, ensuring our children lead healthy, active lifestyles while staying safe can be a daunting task. As parents, we want nothing but the best for our kids—a balance of exploration, learning and well-being.
That’s where a Garmin kids smartwatch comes into play. Designed with your child’s health and happiness in mind, a Garmin watch for kids offers more than just connectivity; it promotes a lifestyle centered around wellness and activity, empowering your child to thrive in a digital age.
We’ve meticulously crafted exceptional wearables tailored specifically to encourage kids to be active: the Bounce™ and the vívofit® jr. 3. These aren’t just any ordinary devices; they’re tools designed to empower your kiddos to lead an active and healthy life while offering you peace of mind with safety and tracking features.
How? Let’s get into that.
Bounce: Keeping Connections Strong
Imagine communicating with your child and knowing their whereabouts—without handing over a smartphone just yet. That’s precisely what the Bounce kids smartwatch has to offer. With its subscription and LTE connectivity, you can easily stay in touch with your child through two-way text and voice messaging via the Garmin Jr.™ app on your compatible smartphone1.
Because we know staying connected is a top priority for all parents, we created Bounce, an innovative GPS-enabled watch for kids. Bounce provides real-time location tracking1 so you always know where your child is. And with this feature, you can be notified when your kiddo enters or leaves a parent-defined area.
That’s not all.
Bounce goes above and beyond with an assistance feature that, when activated, notifies you and other designated family contacts of your child’s location. It’s not just a smartwatch—it’s peace of mind for both you and your child.
Additionally, Bounce is a swim-friendly wearable and offers chores and rewards features, sports and activity apps, vibrant color displays, stopwatches, alarms, games—and so much more. Learn more about Bounce kids smartwatch features.
