My daughter loves this smart watch, we dont use the app much although it is pretty cool. I mostly check it to see how she's been sleeping. It tracks a lot of info, which is neat to look at. App can be used for chores and rewards too.

The product is easy to connect with smart phones or computers and the functions work as promised. My 8 year old grand son really likes to count his steps. It gets him off the couch and away from the computer games. So fare it is holding up to his not so gental treatment.

My child really enjoys the activity tracking. He also finds the timers and the chore tracking to be fun. The fact that the device is water resistant is piece of mind that it's not necessary to take it off.

I was looking for a step tracker and watch that my young kids could navigate through and understand on their own and the vivofit jr. accomplished that. They love its features. I like that it's not completely tied to a smart phone. You need the app during initial setup and if you choose to use certain features (goals, rewards) but it's not mandatory for what my kids enjoy--counting steps, having a watch, timer, etc. The only unknown is the battery. It is not rechargeable and is supposed to last a year. I am curious to see if it lasts that long and how easy it will be to replace. For now my kids love it so I am very pleased with it.

I bought this for my seven year old. He has had it for two months and hasn't taken it off. He loves it and can now tell time and read numbers over 10,000. He loves seeing the coins he gets from going chores and filling up his bank for a treat.

Great piece that keeps my daughter engaged with her activity. She loves telling the time and tracking activity on her Garmin. The chores portion is great and she loves getting coins towards rewards. Definitely worth your purchase!

Bought this for my son's 8th bday. His older sister has a more expensive fitbit and he wanted something similar. We were afraid he'd lose/damage/forget to charge something more expensive. This was a perfect solution. It doesn't require charging and was less expensive than the fitbit. He almost never takes it off and likes to use it for step counting and as a watch. There are other functions on it as well that are supposed to motivate him to complete chores, but the thrill of that feature only lasted about a week. Don't have any real complaints, other than its still a little pricey if you don't buy it on sale.

My 8 year old loves this activity tracker. He is able to keep track of his steps and gain coins after completing chores. It's a great motivator for him to stay active and work hard in completing his chores

My son walked up and down the stairs... and the whole house... to get steps on the first day he got this! Not only is this a great activity tracker, but my 5 year old loves the reward points we assign him daily! It has helped to get him excited about performing his responsibilities such as taking out the trash or clean-up. Great for this age range!

My 7 year old wanted a "fitbit" but when looking for one, I found this Garmin fitness tracker designed for kids. It has limited functionality but is geared for kids and he loves it. It tracks "steps" (though I'm not convinced it's very accurate) as well as "activity" time, with a goal automatically set for 60 minutes of daily activity. And it displays the time of day.
It also allows me to award coins for chores or tasks. It's easy to customize - I can choose from a long list of chores or create my own, then assign values to each chore, as well as the rewards that the coins can be redeemed for (so if he earns 10 coins, he gets to choose dinner one night, etc.).
It syncs to an app that I keep on my phone, so we regularly check his daily steps and activity level, and he really strives to get to his goal. It also tracks sleep, which we can review in the app.
And it's waterproof so great for swimming and bathing. He is really loving it!

My nephews wear their trackers every day. They love watching how many steps they get and even using the timer for brushing their teeth!

My 4 year old loves this. It’s a little small and tight on him but we can switch out bands. Scratches easy on screen.

Watch/app is very easy to use and my son loves it. The app is great also and he gets a lot of interest out of seeing his steps and sleep.

I bought this for my 10 year old but it was too small to fit his wrist comfortably so I gave it to my 8 yr old daughter.
She loves it.
I dont.
You have to log in to the APP to give rewards and it takes quite a bit of practice to figureout what does what.
My favorite thingabout this band is that it does keep up her steps and sleep and it is a bit water proof.

I bought this for my 11 1/2yr old and so far it works really well and has been pretty accurate. She pays closer attention to her activity and LOVES to see her pass her goal. Oftentimes she'll surpass it 2-3x and it just makes her day. The band it comes w/is way too small and we have not gotten the XL in this style, so we've been using a different band for it. She occasionally has issues w/it leaving marks or an irritation on her wrist, so we really need to get the XL band to see if that helps.

Loving Garmin vivofit jr. Activity Tracker For Kids. My husband and I wear fitness trackers, our little one loves to follow us reaching our goals. We purchased one for a Christmas gift, she is loving it, so good to watch. We are still learning all what the Vivofit does. A good mention, she loves the rewards system feature. Doing chores, brushing her teeth makes her motivated to keep it up.

I bought two Garmin - vivofit jr. Activity Trackers For Kids and gave them to my grandsons, ages 6 & 9. They are brothers and they challenge each other everyday. The competition is fun for them and it's getting them moving. One issue with them is the size of the band and lack of adjustibility. I gave them replacement bands as part of their gift so they could wear them as soon as they were received. They report their activity numbers to me everyday.
