The Garmin vivofit jr. 3 is a durable, swim-friendly fitness tracker for kids with a full-color display and a replaceable battery that lasts up to a year. Its features are primarily designed to track activity and engage children through a parent-controlled companion app.
Activity Monitoring: Tracks steps taken, estimated distance traveled, estimated calories burned, total active minutes (with a daily goal of 60 minutes), and estimated sleep activity.
Timed Activities: Allows tracking steps and distance during specific activities like playtime or soccer practice, with data viewable later in the app.
Swim-Friendly Design: The device is water-resistant up to 5 ATM, making it suitable for swimming and everyday use without worry.
Accelerometer: Uses a built-in accelerometer to track movement metrics; it does not have GPS or a heart rate monitor.
App Adventures and Games: Kids unlock educational, globe-trotting app adventures and mini-games by meeting their daily 60-minute activity goals in the parent-controlled Garmin Jr. app.
Customizable Watch Faces: The color display features multiple watch face options, often themed around characters like Marvel superheroes or Disney princesses, depending on the band style.
"Toe-to-Toe" Challenges: Children with compatible Garmin devices can engage in friendly, timed step challenges with nearby friends.
Garmin Jr. App: Parents use the app on a compatible smartphone (Android or iOS) to manage all settings and features.
Chore and Task Management: Parents can assign tasks, set up schedule alerts and alarms, and award virtual coins/gems for completed chores and good behavior, which kids can redeem for custom rewards.
Monitoring: The app provides a full picture of the child's activity, sleep patterns, and chore progress.
ICE Widget: An In Case of Emergency (ICE) widget can be quickly accessed on the watch face to display the child's emergency contact information.
