Q: Questionhow similar is this to the Garmin Bounce jr.? Would I be able to track my child with it? We currently have the Bounce Jr. and every time it gets dropped the screen breaks. screen protectors do NOT stay on so they are of no help.

This question was asked about the related product: Garmin - Instinct 3 Solar GPS Smartwatch 45 mm Fiber-reinforced Polymer - Twilight with Twilight Band - (2025)

• A:Answer It's not similar at all to Garmin bounce. No you can't track a child same way as bounce. Simply wear watch as intended and snug and it should never fall off. Makes no sense. My daughter has the bounce and she has never broken it once. That being said bounce is one of the cheapest watches in world. Spend more and you get better materials and more robust design. Sapphire. Etc. this watch you posted on is not for kids.
