Your child doesn't have a phone, and you want them to manage tasks on the device Possibly worse, a lost proprietary charging cable which leads to a useless tracker. No more dead tracker midday because the user forgot to charge. Getting up to a full year of usage before the need to replace the coin-style battery is a wonderful thing. This is a big win for parents and kids alike. You don't want to have to charge the device all the time The bonus of adding a reward system, as well as the idea of saving up those digital coins for a larger prize, can help a child learn valuable lessons. Sometimes a physical chore chart doesn't have quite the same impact that a beeping reminder on a child's wrist can have. You are trying to give your child a bit of independence in their responsibilities Aside from looks, the accompanying adventures within the companion app help to keep kids engaged. It's true whether you decide to go with one of the licensed options or one of Garmin's versions. The themes that Garmin has come up with for the Vivofit Jr 3 are so much fun. You want a fun way to encourage your child to be active It can help a young child get some encouragement by seeing the rest of the family trying to stay active. Other family members are in the Garmin ecosystemĬreating a little healthy competition within the family can be great for everyone involved. This would mean that when my son would ask if he set a new record, I may have to ask him to hold the button to sync since the device hadn't done it yet. I would notice that my app wouldn't update with my son's stats for upwards of an hour after he got home from school, and other times it would happen after a few minutes. It also seems that the automatic sync is a bit sporadic. It is possible to set the app to a kids-mode that would limit what can be done in the app, but my son doesn't have a phone, so I have to check it off for him.
If he had his own phone, he would be able to check off his chores in the app. If I don't see him do the chore or he doesn't come to tell me, he won't get credit for doing it. My son presses the side button, and that makes it go away. 3, the chore's designated icon shows up and along with some beeping. When an assigned task goes off on the Vivofit Jr. Another frustration is that there is no way for the child to complete a chore via the tracker.
