    My son loved this, the battery died in less than a year which was upsetting. Also with it being waterproof my son liked to leave on in the shower and it rubbed his arm raw where the band was.

    The most important thing is my boy like it. Our expectations are always higher than theirs. The biggest improvement I'd like to see is improving the ease to sync it with my iPhone. It works sometimes, but not always right away and not always. Other than that, the screen is a bit small and hard to read but I knew that before buying it so I'm not complaining, just a customer pointing out what to improve for the next version.

    My 6 year old loves the watch and we like the features, the only problem is the screen, or lack there of. First the color is horrible ( couldn’t tell it was color) and the screen size is too small. Other than that the feel and build quality is really good.

    Over time the watch decorations faded and it would not sync with my phone. Syncing was always an issue with an android phone. Watch and timer worked great

    My child used this almost daily but I had to ask her to stop wearing it due to it creating a rash on her wrist. I haven't seen this with other watches so if you buy this just pay attention to your wrist to make sure you too don't have a reaction.

    My son wanted this and likes it, tracks his steps for his after school runs, for this pricepoint it should have a heart rate sensor, everything else is ok.

    My son loves this but it is kind of tight on his wrist. I ended up buying a different band because it was too tight and was uncomfortable for him.

    It did take awhile to setup for my son. He does like the star wars band. But It is nothing special.

    This product is decent for a child. Tracker has some hit or miss flaws with tracking steps and time.
