Great device and app
This has been terrific for my 12 year old son. He wants to play with friends in our neighborhood and he can go out an voice message or I can see where he is at all times.
Eh
The Fitbit disconnected to my phone and I could not reconnect it. Also it won’t let me remove the app. It was fun like 3 years ago
Good app
Could use an update on game to make it a bit more exciting but the app itself works well. The rewards and chores feature is cool.
Alexis
It is great way to track your kid but for instanced I do not need to know when they started a timer.
Kids Enjoying the watch
It seems to work well. Small to no learning curve. Easy and great watch for 7 to 9 year old. GPS seems pretty accurate. We like them so far…
Great App

Absolutely great
Everything about it is great. You need to have a watch for it though.
