Garmin - Bounce 2 GPS Kids Smartwatch 43mm Fiber-reinforced polymer - Slate Gray - (2025)
About this product
Bounce 2 is the kids smartwatch with two-way calling, text messaging and real-time location tracking that parents have been waiting for (an active subscription and LTE connectivity are required). Kids can track their activity, listen to music (subscription required) and even manage chores and rewards — all on a bright, colorful AMOLED display smartwatch that’s swim-friendly. Parents will love the Garmin Jr. smartphone app that allows them to keep track of, and chat with, their child. Up to 2 days of battery life will keep Bounce 2 off the charger and on their wrist longer (connected feature use significantly impacts battery life). And preloaded sports apps and step tracking will help keep kids active.
