Love it! Amazingly fun

It encourages me to be more active, achieve goals and do more chores around the house. The Garmin jr app is one of the best apps ever.

School Chap

The location update lags!! Takes close to a minute or two! would be nice if we get the location within seconds when requested.

Parent Must Have!

If you have children that are too young for a phone, this lets you track and communicate with your child.

Connectivity Issues

We’ve had the garmin for a year now. Very little issues until recently. Unable to send messages, they forever say “sent”. Unable to use location tracking. Very frustrating. I pay more for this monthly service than I do for tv streaming services. It would be great if it WORKED.
