    OMG! the screen is so dark that you need to give your child a flashlight to read the screen. Even when you press the button for a few seconds to get brighter, its dark. Device's screen looks nothing like the photos.

      The display does not stay lit up because it would drain the battery. If you're experiencing an issue with the display, please go to support.garmin.com and reach out directly to a product support specialist.

    The watch had very low light and such a small screen, it was not worth the money. The Kids Fitbit was only 10 dollars more and better value.

      Did you change the battery in the module? The module has a user replaceable battery that should last about a year. The battery is a CR1632.

    Awesome

    What's cool is you can program the watch as for my boys to "go pee" every two hours. Watch beeps and says go pee with bathroom background. Has other chores and things like homework or brush your teeth with a toothbrush background as well. They can get reward coins that you can set and a spider-man game for them to play as well. It's a simple game nothing to complicated for young ones. Has the basic fitness tracking along with time and calender. You can type in your chore or whatever or choose the pre programed options. Your personnel chore wording should be short so it fits on the watch space such as "Go Pee". Cool product bought two of them at a discount price during Christmas 2021. Boys love them except "go pee" but it works. If you reward them with coins then give them some sort of time with a kindle or nintendo switch to reward them with however many coins you decide is the right amout for a particular reward. So 150 coins gets them t.v. time a favorite food....Endless what you can do with this to motivate them. This does not charge it's a battery and it's already to go when it arrives. When the battery dies you can replace it. I think it said it last a year + maybe longer depending on usage.
