Garmin Jr. Customer Insights

1. NOT worth the money at all.I have a garmin that I've had since I was eight and it hasnt ran out of batteries until now, which is 2 years! The only thing I wish they added is maybe something on the app that tracks your watch if you loose it and something that pops up on the screen to tell you your watch needs new batteries.

2. Overall I think both the watch and the app work great!Son (9yo) got his for Christmas last year.

3. I am constantly pressing the sync button on the watch, refreshing the app, completely closing out and nothing is working.

4. it seems like the developers are pushed to update without any QA.I'm only giving this app 2 stars because I have no idea if it's my son's watch or the app that isn't working.

5. I think a watch tracker would be really helpful because I lost mine and couldnt find it for months, but I finally found it in one of my backpacks.

6. The watch shows the wireless sign, the phone app DOES NOTHING.

7. We were supposed to progress to Japan, but the watch has had us repeat south Korea 3x now and won't move forward.

8. Restarted bluetooth, restarted phone, deleted watch from my bluetooth.

9. I can set a timer on the watch itself however if it goes off and I dont hear it.

10. You will thank me.We love the watch for our son.

11. I've tried resetting the watch but that won't work.
