I'm a Garmin user and love Garmin. As a Bounce dad, both of my kids have the watch, I do not recommend this watch. The watch works fine at first but develops substantial connection issues. Having to do constant factory resets just doesn't cut it. Garmin is buying back both units I bought. Lack of connectivity is a known issue with Garmin.

I was going to get this I was just wondering if there is any more options to do on the watch ⌚️

The sound is so loud in the background but good review

Is it possible to give and receive calls with the Garmin?

[mariaveramusic]

Do you have this version vs the huawei kids ?

[Gunoke-fdbc]

As a parent who bought, smart phones for my son and a flip phone, I'm done with the phone becoming a device to entertain, distract from life and school "especially". I think this option makes sense, however, they missed the mark for not packaging this for older children.

So do your kid necessarily need the messages or can you skip that?

[danamartin]

Do you have to connect it to your phone?

That OS likes like garbage. The screen is lagging like crazy. Looks comparable to the $30 cheap kids smartwatches off Amazon. I’m guessing touch response is horrible as well? Looking at the Fitbit ace for my kids. Need something a little more modern that doesn’t feel like a first generation touch screen from 10 years ago
