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.
Features
Real-time tracking
See your child’s whereabouts through the Garmin Jr. smartphone app, and receive notifications when they enter or leave a parent-defined area. You can even request a notification for when your child leaves their current location.
Two-way callling and voice messages

Text messaging
With an active subscription, you can use the Garmin Jr. app to send text messages to your child’s Bounce 2 smartwatch. Kids can create their own messages and respond with a full on-device keyboard, including emojis or sound emojis, to parent-approved contacts and in family group messages.
LTE Connectivity
Delay that first smartphone purchase with connectivity on your kiddo’s wrist, which lets you easily communicate with and locate your child. No need to switch phone providers — your Bounce 2 smartwatch subscription is managed by Garmin. Choose the plan that’s right for you.
Assistance
If your child needs help and the assistance feature is activated, rest assured that family contacts will be called and sent a message with a LiveTrack location sharing link to your child’s live location.
Track sports, sleep and more
Built-in sports apps use GPS to let your child track running, walking and biking activities. They can also record laps while swimming or can log other activities. Plus, track their daily steps, and check that they’re getting enough rest with sleep tracking.
