TRACK SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES
Preloaded sports apps use built-in GPS to let your child track run, walk and bike activities. They can also record laps while swimming or can log other activities.
COLOR DISPLAY
Even on bright, sunny days, kids will be able to see everything on the color display. And you can help them customize it with fun watch faces.
KID-FRIENDLY WEATHER
Kid-friendly weather updates with basic forecast and “feels-like” temperature1 help guide kids to wear weather-appropriate attire.
NO DISRUPTIONS
Use the Garmin Jr. app to turn on school mode or do-not-disturb to keep your child’s Bounce from distracting them during school hours or at night.

PLAY FUN GAMES
Your child’s Bounce smartwatch also has fun games to play during parent-approved times. They’ll get a kick out of the puzzle slider and math flash games, but they’ll really love showing you up during Toe-to-Toe™ timed step challenges.
ACTIVITY UNLOCKS ADVENTURE
With you as their travel buddy, your child will unfold educational adventures, learn about famous sites and uncover mysteries as they explore everywhere from ancient Greece to Mount Everest using the Garmin Jr. app.

Meeting their daily activity goals also rewards your kid with colorful gems. They can use gems to reveal pictures in a scrapbook that features memories of all their adventures.
