    We bought a couple of these for our boys. They love comparing their steps and using the app on my phone to play unlocked games. The battery is supposed to last a year, but I already had to replace one of them (which wasn't difficult.) Really the only thing I dislike is the difficulty in putting on/taking off the band. A lot of times they won't wear it because of this annoyance. In my opinion they really need to use a Velcro type band like my Apple Watch Nike band.

    This Garmin vivofit jr. activity tracker watch was a perfect gift for my 7 year old granddaughter. She loves seeing how much activity she has in a day, and her mother likes seeing the quality of her sleep. It's great because she doesn't have to take it off in the shower or the pool. Highly recommend this watch.

    Its a great gadget overall, just wish it had more icons for chores, i got it because my kid has ADD so it help with reminders, butbwhen therebare abfew more then a couple you need more individualized icons for tasks, also i wish it would allow me to type more in reminder. Its a great start if you dont want yo spend 200 on the i watch looking ones ore your kids is to young. For 60 bucks great gadget.

    Our daughter got this for her 7th birthday. She loves it! She refuses to ever take it off, which is fine since it is water resistant. It helps her keep track of her chores and earn "coins". It has alarms to remind her when to brush her teeth, get in pajamas, etc. It has made the routine fun for her. The only thing we wish it had that it doesn't is GPS; but, for the price it makes sense to not have that feature.

    I love this watch, it’s helped me a lot during the pendemic with my kiddo who has ADHD. It’s fun and interactive as well so she loves it. She is big on REWARDS and the watch celebrates activities, it also keeps track of steps and we compete on step count. Sets reminders for her to login into class brush her teeth. Reading or homework time chore time

    LOVE this! It has been a great way to get our son engaged and interested in daily activity without focusing on “exercise”. He really enjoys setting daily goals and working on earning points for his successes. Only thing I would point out is it has a 1 year battery life and no way to replace them once it’s dead.

    I got this for my 6 year old son for Christmas and he loves wearing it, especially since he can see his name and the Spider Man logo. I like how I connect it to the app on my phone and make sure he's actually exercising during the day. I just wish the screen was a little brighter like it is in the picture.

    This is a well-built product with lots of fun and useful features. I love the app and how the long-lasting the battery is. My daughter said she wanted "a fitbit", but this was the product that one of her best friends already had and, after comparing the specs and the parental control / engagement options, this was the best option.

    This is not a Fitbit, or an Apple Watch, it is a kid's fitness tracker. If you want all the functions of those other wearables, get one of those. But if you want a kid friendly design, waterproof, comfy fitness tracker with a watch, this is great. Our only complaint is that the game your child earns with activity is always the same, so sometimes my daughter gets bored.

    I have a 4 year old and she just had to the have the Frozen 2 elsa jr tracker. Battery is replaceable and last about a year. She wears it night and day. I think it is neat we can see when she is active and probably sleeping while she is at the baby sitter's while we are at work. It also has a cool chore tracker, over all I think its worth it.

    I bought these for Christmas gifts for my Grandsons. One is 8yrs and one is 6. I know the 8 yr old still uses his because we went for a walk 2 days ago and he had his on and he and his sister were competing to see who would have the steps in. I had bought his 6 yr old sister the girls Disney princess one at the same time.

    good watch for school age kids who can read/tell time. There are alerts and reminders different activities that can be tracked as well as variety of bands that can be purchased separately. My 7 yr old niece never takes hers off. It does seem to be able to withstand getting wet. My 11 year old daughter feels this version is a bit young for her.

    My 5 year old daughter got this as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loves it! It’s a little loose on her teeny wrist but it doesn’t fall off..it just has wriggle room and it doesn’t bother her at all. I also love it, I don’t have to look for the time anymore as she tells me every 10 minutes haha

    We bought this for our 7 yr old son for his first 'real' watch. He absolutely loves it. We honestly didn't purchase it for the fitbit features, but were greatly surprised at how active he really is during the day while at school. It really is a great watch with added features!!

    Bought these for my 5 & 2 year olds. The reviews were awesome. But my experience was different. After loading the software on my phone, it seemed to drain my battery a lot faster. Also, the biggest problem I had with the watches were, the screens are too tiny and hard to read. Also, you can only read them in a bright area. So if you're in a dimly lit room, itll be impossible to read it. I returned them and bought the FitBit kids version and love it much better. And the Fitbit is much larger display and can be read in the dark too.

    I bought one in a Different Color for My Six Year old Grandson. He has had it awhile and Loves it. So I bought this Purple One for Our 3 Year old Grandaughter. She loves it. She tells Her Parents when its bedtime and insists to wear it to sleep. She gets lots of steps in day. Highly recommend!
