This is great! Bought for my son’s 9th birthday. We’ve been using it since 28th December and it’s now 13th Jan. I love the way you can completely personalise their jobs, and set the amount they earn for it. Even set the rewards. We have clean teeth am and again pm, music practise, walk dog, pack backpack for school, fold clothes. All the things he hates to do and annoy me that he doesn’t! I reward most coins for what he hates most....3 coins for dog walking, 1 coin for teeth cleaning etc. I have set rewards 30 coins for £5 pocket money, 50 coins for a swimming trip, and 75 coins for trampoline park trip. This is incentivising him to wait and save up. The step counter is perfect,

Great app. 8 year old really enjoys it.- Counts steps.- Very encouraged to build up 'active minutes' each day to earn 'moves' in an adventure game. This game is on the app so downloaded it to a kid tablet (not my phone).- You can schedule 'tasks' at a certain time. The wrist band will vibrate and show a word/picture to the kid at that time. At then end of the day/week I will tick off the 'tasks' they actually completed and the app will award them 'coins'.- You can set 'rewards' in the app for earning a certain number of coins. I haven't done this do can't review that bit.- The game itself in our Disney Princess version is a story travelling through a map of various story lands (Arial/Jasmine/Rapunzel etc)

I did a lot of research on kids fitness trackers before I ordered this. We had bought her a kiddie one before (can’t name the brand but it’s kids tech stuff) which cost quite a lot as it was a Star Wars one and spent more time in a drawer regardless of its gimmicky games and camera, it wasn’t was DD wanted really. Bought a cheap one off here that broke after 2 weeks, so finding something that could fit the bill was essential this time - 3rd time lucky! Looked at the “main” brands, and seen some negative reviews about this as can’t recharge, but actually, it’s great. The app for avengers is cute, simple, but she’s entertained. She has chores in return for coins that parents control the rewards via the app,

One of my daughters already has this watch so decided to get one for my other daughter. I find it a really good fitness watch. I like that it doesn’t have to be constantly charged, that it’s waterproof (not that we’ve tried this officially), my children like the app. You do need the device with app to sync with the watch regularly though as it does lose time otherwise I find the time goes one minute slow, 2 minute slow, etc until you sync it so I try and sync every couple of days and this keeps the time correct. They love setting timers for things, because they both have the same watch they can do toe to toe challenges with each other which they love. It’s a nice watch and works well the strap lets it down though,

A bit of a mixed review for us. Purchased for my superhero daft 6 year old daughter who specifically picked this one on her birthday list to count her steps and activity. She is delighted with it and wears daily however we can’t get it to connect to the app. Seen a few people have had the same issue in some other reviews and had Garmin replace for another one and it’s worked fine. We’ve just kept ours as my little one isn’t bothered about all the extras only interested in the steps and she loves the design of it. Great size for tiny wrists and has been dropped a few times, caught in the rain etc and always worked fine. She’s had since aug and still like new.

Great for kids to encourage them to do things, little hard to figure out.Most of it - is on the app on your phone includes the game, points.Adults can control / personalise things for there children.. add or take things away !! treats, jobs, chores, etc ..On the APP - Also we can track sleep and when they go to bed !!! Caught her out a few times trying to stay up late.And activity tracking, steps etc.Reminds me of a interactive reward chart. We got it half price and was worth it. Not sure I would pay what some retailers are asking def not worth over £60!!It’s sturdy strap is good she wears it constant and too school.

We bought this for out 6 year old as reward tool and to encourage activity. It does both very well. He loves getting his 60 mins of activity to play the next step of the adventure and does his chores or behaves well to get the virtual coins that we turn into small prizes. Very clever. He competes with other children at school (and us) on Toe to Toe challenges. If you are worried that it'll gamify their lives then just think of it as no different to the performance mechanisms most corporations use to measure objectives and behaviours in annual employee reviews. Perfectly normal! Although the great thing about the watch that it doesn't have the ridiculous subjectivity of a behavioural competence

Bought this for my daughter who seems to love it, keeps her active and I use the rewards system in the Garmin Jnr Fit app instead of a rewards chart stuck to the fridge.She doesn’t seem that interested in the Minnie Mouse game that you unlock moves on by meeting the daily ‘active minutes’ challenge but other than that no complaints. It is handy that it is waterproof so it doesn’t need to be taken off for baths and the strap has enough flexibility for it to last a couple of years before needing a size upgrade.Overall pretty good durable kids fitness tracker which has the Disney appeal for the kids.

Brought it for my daughter last Christmas. Only worn it for 3 months. It has been great and she absolutely love it until 4 days ago. When only the triangle lights are flashing. Nothing works. I thought it need new battery and brought new battery for it. But still it doesn’t work. Could someone let me know what is wrong with it? ThanksUpdated: Amazon will be replacing another one for me. Wonderful service and thank you. My daughter will be delighted to have it back. I had brought like more than 5 watches for her. Smiggles etc. She will only worn it for a week and lost interest. With this, she worn it even when she is sleeping and never ever loses it.

As with other reviews of this product, it is absolutely great apart from the battery life which gave in after around 2 months.I ordered a replacement battery thinking that it was probably a duff one and whilst waiting for the replacement battery to arrive, we were contacted by Garmin. They had discovered a software issue resulting in the battery draining really quickly! They offered us a replacement battery at no extra cost (and free p&p) and advised upgrading the vivofit as soon as the battery was replaced to prevent the same thing from happening. We have now done this and all seems good. Only time will tell whether it lasts a full year .....

I bought this for my daughter and it is a brilliant little watch. My daughter loves the fact it tracks her steps, she's always trying to get more than her goal. It's also great for getting her to help with her chores and homework. You can set little goals on there for them to achieve and then they're rewarded with coins-for example my daughter receives one coin per chore, like keeping her room tidy, setting the dinner table etc. And she gets two coins for completing homework. If she earns 25 coins she redeems them for robux. It's also waterproof as she's forgotten to take it off in the bath a few times!!! Highly recommend.

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday. Setting it up was fairly easy and it has all of the functions that you would expect from a fitness tracker - but it isn’t as good as a Fitbit which I would have preferred to get her. Syncing the watch to your phone is a bit of a pain, but after a few attempts it does eventually connect. You can set up chores/tasks for your child and use the phone to complete them which rewards them with coins. Unfortunately the rewards are nothing more than additional icons for the watch - it might be better if it unlocked hidden functionality.

My older daughters have the Garmin Vivofit jr. I've seen much improvement in design, app and watch since our first purchase. The older version is working and compatible, but the newer Vivofit jr 2 has alot more functions its great they can compete or be rewarded for their completed chores, which gives them stars & game moves on the Garmin app.Brilliant they don't need charging the battery life lasts about a year. Great little fitbit watches for little people would highly recommend works in conjunction with the App which is easy to install and use.

I have an adjustable strap version for my (nearly) 7 year old, and even on the smallest hole.it is a little big for her. So I got the stretchy strap for her petite 5 year old sister. The stretchy strap is huge! It is bigger than the adjustable strap on its smallest setting, whichnis dissapoinyong as it is marketed as being smaller. I have bought a third party adjustable strap which fits her nicely though, and as I got the Garmin in the sale it was still cheaper. I love the Garmin itself, but do not recommend the stretchy band for smaller wrists

I bought this beautiful watch for my son’s 8th birthday, he was asking for one for ages but at the time I wasn’t sure which one would be the best, after doing bit research I was 100% sure that Garmin Vívofit Jr.2 has all the features I was looking for. My boy likes the watch a lot, not taking off his wrist, wears day and night. I can track my boys sleeps and how active he is during the day. Easy to use, easy to sync with the phone. The screen is perfect size for the kids watch. Very pleased. Highly recommended. Quality well worth the money!!!
