QuestionHow does this compare to a Fitbit??
Asked 8 years ago by 3921.
- Answer I personally wear a Fitbit Blaze (which I love) but this Garmin is really designed for kids. There is no Fitbit designed for children under 13. These Garmins have fun features that are the same as Fitbit including: stopwatch / timer, clock, step counter, and easy to read display. The kids do not need the app to see their stats, unlike Fitbit. The app is for the parents mostly, to control the settings. The parents can monitor activity AND add in alarms, chores to earn "tokens", and reminders to do things like brushing teeth, etc. A major plus of this Garmin is what no Fitbit currently offers- is that it is waterproof. Fitbit Blaze is water resistant - this Vivo Jr can be worn while swimming!

QuestionI added two chores to the vívofit jr. with alarms. I later decided to delete them. I deleted them from the app but the phone still beeps to remind for each chore even though I have synced with the app many times.How can I remove the chores from the phone?

This question was asked about the related product: Garmin - vivofit jr. Activity Tracker For Kids - Digi Camo
- Answer I had the same problem with one of my kids watches but not the other???? I managed to resolve it by going onto the app then into the “settings” of the particular kids watch that was still beeping. Selected “alarms” and there it was right there! Even though I’d deleted all alarms from the chores page! Anyway, from there I just deleted the alarm.

QuestionDoes this have an adjustable band?

This question was asked about the related product: Garmin - vivofit jr. Activity Tracker For Kids - Broken Lava
- Answer The band included in the box is not adjustable. The vivofit jr. module is the same as a vivofit 3 and would fit in a vivofit 3 band which do have adjustable options.

QuestionCan the vivofit jr and the vivofit 3 use the same app? It's like to get a watch for both me and my daughter and be able to "compete." Wondering if I should get the adult version or just a second kid one and maybe a replacement band.
Asked 7 years ago by Tinkerbell.
This question was asked about the related product: Garmin - vivofit jr. Activity Tracker For Kids - Digi Camo
- Answer The vivofit jr. and vivofit 3 use different apps. The vivofit jr. pairs with the vivofit jr. app and the vivofit 3 will pair with the Garmin Connect Mobile app. While the devices do not directly pair with one app, you are still able to compete with your daughter and track steps. The vivofit jr. app has a Leaderboard that would show the number of steps taken by each device.

QuestionWhat would you recommend for a boy turning 13?
Asked 8 years ago by Mimi.
- Answer The recommended age range for the vivofit jr. is 4-9 years old. This is based on the band size since it is designed to fit most kids in this age range. For someone turning 13 you may want to consider a similar device like the vivofit 3.

QuestionCan you turn off all sounds that come from the band? I turned the sounds off in the app settings but my daughter's band still beeps when she syncs or earns a coin or when she meets the 60 min goal. I don't want it to be a school distraction/issue
Asked 8 years ago by Clmsongrl.
This question was asked about the related product: Garmin - vivofit jr. Activity Tracker For Kids - Broken Lava
- Answer The vivofit jr. settings should allow you to turn of the tones. You should be able to turn off the tones in the app and then sync the device. The expectation is that the device will no longer emit a tone until that setting is turned back on. If this is not the case with your device please reach out to Garmin Product support for further assistance.

- Answer My daughter is 10 - turning 11 this week and she has had this for the last 6 months. She is really happy with it, very easy to understand with no uneccesary gimmicks.... I guess it really depends on your daughter's likes and preferences, but I will definitely recommend it.
