    I really want to love the Garmin kids watch and the app that comes with it however, it needs some serious updates First, there’s no option to create your own group chat with specific family members. For example, I would love to be able to have a chat between me and my kids without my husband as he’s at work all day and doesn’t need all the notifications. It would also be nice if I could add other family members into the chat like their aunt. Second, I do not disturb settings need updated. There’s only an option to create one schedule and that does not work for every family. Our family has various routines and so I would love to be able to create multiple different. Do not disturb schedules. I have reached out to Garmin several different times about these issues. I have also submitted multiple requests on their website for app updates however there is never any communication back whether it be that we appreciate your feedback and we will reach out, there’s never a notification that anybody even cares or have read it. Overall, I will say the garment is a great starter watch. It’s price is significantly cheaper than buying an Apple Watch however, I am paying the same price monthly for a lot less features. PS the battery also is horrible.

    App will repeatedly log me out along with other family members. Text conversations completely wiped on a day to day basis. Had no issues last summer using the app but have had several issues the last few months. Will likely be switching to a different watch before summer hits if the issues are not resolved by then.
  • Great product for our needs

    This did everything we need without distractions for our daughter. Very happy with the product though some lags in delivery of messages at times

    Cannot send audio messages to my child swatch which pretty much makes the whole thing useless, support was not helpful and I have the most recent version 😭

    The watch works very well. Only thing wrong is that it breaks after a year. They should make it harder to break
