Description
vívofit jr. 2 lets your kids get their hands on more styles and app adventures. All you need is a new band to open up a new world of adventures. What’ll it be next? Track activity, and engage in galactic app adventures with a Star Wars themed band? Or will your kid show off their Marvel Avengers band, and join in app adventures that let them save the day like a true hero? It’s up to your kid.
Key Features
- Stylish & Strong: Tough and durable, vívofit jr. 2 features a customizable colour screen and comfortable band. Your kid can show their stylish band off and rock it everywhere from recess to soccer, during bath time and even to bed. The user-replaceable battery will keep kicking for more than a year — no charging necessary.
- Parental Personal Assistant: Parents use the free mobile app to manage the vívofit jr. 2 activity tracker. From the app, add profiles for multiple kids to see each child’s steps, sleep, daily activities and chore data when it syncs to your mobile device. Invite the whole family to compete in a daily step challenge, assign tasks and chores, designate a reward virtual coin value, and find out how many coins each child has.
- Rewards: Every day, kids unfold new adventures in the app as they reach their daily 60-minute activity goals, inspiring them to do their best. With you as their helper, your little character goes alongside Minnie Mouse, Star Wars Resistance or Captain America in adventures.
- Reminders & Responsibilities: Schedule alerts in the parent app so vívofit jr. 2 reminds them to finish their homework, brush their teeth and more. The alert will remind them with an icon what they’re supposed to be doing. Then, the child can start the task timer on the device so they know how long they have left.
- Friendly Step Challenges: Friendly competition comes to the playground and the backyard. Toe-to-Toe™ step challenges lets kids sync with nearby friends to challenge each other (one-on-one challenge) — or even themselves — to timed step competitions. Once complete, they’ll be able to see their total number of steps during the challenge and find out if they triumphed over their friends or beat their own personal best.
- Designed for: Adjustable bands fit 130-175mm (ages 4+)

We love it so far!
Santa brought the Star Wars version for both of our boys (ages 11 and 8) and after seeing how much we like it, we got one for our daughter as well (age 4). They are all highly motivated to increase their activity (not that it was low to begin with), and earn coins. I would love to see Garmin provide some in-app rewards for earning coins for chores. Right now, they kids are just excited to get coins. When the novelty wears off, I expect I'll need to provide external rewards like money or something else. I'd love to see Garmin develop some in-app rewards for doing chores (new games or moves or stories). Overall, I think it is a great product.

Dissappointed kid.
We bought it for our 10 yr olds Christmas gift. She absolutely LOVED it! And it was great for a couple months. Then the battery (that is suppose to be lifetime) stopped working. We finally got another one in and after I installed it, it worked for about a month and then stopped working correctly. It wouldn't show the time, would only show a couple things on it. I honestly don't know where it is now, most likely stuck on her shelf somewhere. She was so frustrated when it wouldn't work correctly and I couldn't get it to work or waste the time that I did before online and sending it back and forth. We will definitely go a different rout next time.

For my autistic son.
This watch was something I wanted to try b/c we were having a hard time getting are autistic son to go to bed/bath time, and what time to go in from playing in the yard. So I used the watch so he can’t get mad at us, it’s the watches fault. Works like a charm. Wish it had a few more options, like prompting it through my phone without having to push the button on the watch, I’m sure there is a more expensive one out there. It’s waterproof so that’s a big deal too. The point system for the game we don’t use at all. I’m sure they didn’t make this for the intention of a autistic kid. When they do I’ll be all about that one. It’s easy to use and not over complicate.

Love the watch. Hate the bands.
My boys love trying to beat their own step records and competing with their friends and teachers at school. “How many steps do you have today?” And, of course, the video games. BUT we dislike the bands. They do NOT last at all. Bands purchased at Christmas were falling apart by the end of June/July. Unfortunately, over the summer, this resulted in one of our watches being lost in a river while camping because fell out of the band! My 10 year old was super upset. And I can’t justify buying another. All the bands we have had - 3 so far - have fallen apart in some way within 6-7 months of having them. It’s really too bad.

Improved from the Original Vivofit Jr!
I bought the Vivofit Jr 2 for my daughter for Christmas last year. She had the original Vivofit Jr, but lost it, so having both versions has allowed us to compare them. I like the updated feature of being able to set alarms so my daughter is now able to use her watch as her alarm clock. I do however wish that swimming was recognized and counted as activity minutes as my daughter is on a swim team and practices 3 times a week for 45 minutes and she is often disappointed that those minutes of vigorous activity do not count towards her daily activity goal.

Kids love it
I have 4 kids,they are 9, 8, and the twins are 5 yrs olds. 2 girls and 2 boys. I bought this Garmins for my 2 daughters and they love them. At the end of the day before going to bed. My daughters look forward to entering there activity data so they can get move on the game that comes with it.. you can also set chores on there Garmin. They do there chores they get a coin and at the end of the week. If they have all there coins then they get a prize. I like it and my daughters love it.. when my twins boys learn how to tell time I will also get them one..

Love it!
My daughter is 5 and we are trying to help her live a more healthier life style. She's had the watch almost a week and absolutely loves it. She loves showing people how many steps she's taken and her favorite feature is the alarms I set. I have one for AM & PM to brush teeth and one for bath time so far. But suddenly there is no more fighting when it come to bath time because its the watch telling her its time not mom! As I said its only been a week, but we love it so far! We are debating to get my 3 and half year old one since she loves it so much.

Not worth it
I bought this mainly for the chore reminders. There are only a few pictures to select for the alarms on the reminders. And there is only a 7 letter space to type something in. So for example: I wanted to put in a reminder alarm for my 8 year old to get the mail every day. There isn’t a picture relevant to mail and “get mail” doesn’t fit in the description. So when the alarm goes off she doesn’t know what it is for.
This is just one example. It operates like a Dollar store product at a much higher price. I am thinking about returning it.
