    This activity tracker is good for the kids, but both of my children broke out from wearing this on their wrists... not sure why!? Use caution with kids with sensitive skin!

    This came out of the package with a dead battery. Returned it to the store only to find the batteries aren't replaceable. Poor design

    I gave it 2 stars cause once you set it up it can be useful for kids to play with it. As far as tracking steps-nope. It counted as he was riding in the car.

    Great Product / Battery life is really bad

    I bought the garmin vivofit jr and battery died within 2 weeks. I bought the original through ebay. Then I was shopping for an updated one and found the Vivofit jr 2, which my 7 yr daughter loves the BB-8. I bought it for a Christmas present. She wore the vivofit for 2 and half weeks and died. I took it back to best buy and they sent me another one. The second one lasted a little over a week and it died. My daughter loves the garmin vivofit jr 2 due to the rewards system. Now, she is very upset and sad. Not sure what other activity tracker to get her with a rewards system. I haven't found anything similiar.

    Battery

    Since Christmas, I have had to exchange the watch twice for not working. batteries claim to be good for a year, which neither watch lasted 3 days, and finding replacement batteries is almost impossible. let alone replacing them in the watch itself. Garmin should provide extra batteries in case its been on the shelf for a while. Or use a more common battery that regular stores carry. I understand that making it waterproof probably wont allow a charging port, but the battery thing is just stupid..
