For folks who want to put off buying their kids a smartphone
Garmin already has a ton of colorful fitness trackers for kids, but today, it’s launching the $149.99 Bounce — its first LTE smartwatch for kids. The device is meant to help parents keep an eye on their kids without having to shell out for a smartphone or manage what their kids are doing with it.
Bounce includes both built-in GPS and LTE. On top of tracking their child’s whereabouts, Bounce allows parents to set alerts for whenever their child leaves a designated area. Children can also send their current location to their parents via a notification in the Garmin Jr. app. Like Apple’sAn Apple Watch with Family Setup is an expensive smart watch for your kids
Aside from location tracking, Bounce also supports two-way text and voice messages. Kids can send messages directly from the watch, which parents then receive in the app. Children can also send messages to other Bounce watches, so long as it belongs to a parent-approved contact. There’s also an Assistance feature where children in distress can alert their family in the Garmin Jr. app, along with a live view of their current location.
