The Garmin Jr. app is incredibly frustrating! It constantly displays a notification at the bottom of the screen telling me to update a watch my child doesn't even have. The notification keeps popping up every few seconds, interrupting whatever I'm trying to do. It's extremely annoying, wastes my time, and makes the app difficult to use. Garmin really needs to fix this issue and stop showing irrelevant notifications.

Piece of mind is priceless. I love that in can tracky child's location and contact them without having a phone. The location settings are super accurate, but sometimes a bit delayed, which isn't a huge deal.

overall, I love my son's Garmin watch and the app that syncs to it. It's peace of mind knowing I can find my 11-year-old son without giving him full power of a smartphone but still be able to communicate. The tracking part could be a bit faster. but for the price, it's perfect and accurate
