The watch is slow to connect to the app. Worked pretty well for about 6 months and now it basically only works at home which defeats the purpose of being able to communicate and track my child. Contacted customer service twice and they have basic troubleshooting ideas, which I tried and none worked so I am switching to a different type of watch and service. I do love garmin products so it is a bummer this does not work. My son also liked the activity tracker feature as a positive for the watch.

Would like more options than caretaker and administrator. A family option where they just have messaging would be really nice. Other than that, it is great. The battery lasts about 2 days and recharges quickly. I like the invisible fencing. This is a great option for the kids who are too young for a real phone.

It's not as reliable as we hoped for. My 2nd daughter's watch only pairs with my husband's phone, not mine. My first daughter's watch is paired with my phone but every few days it will request to pair again. Location updates lag from one watch to another. They are great when they work but they are not reliable to working all the time. Not the quality we expected from Garmin.
