Brilliant motivator for exercise and positive behaviour. It has the core functionality of collating activity, steps and sleep from a compatible Garmin device. It also has a chores tick list that can be used as a reward chart. There's a basic adventure game that kids can earn game time on. My daughter hasn't even fully made the connection between accruing activity and steps and getting game time, she just loves getting more steps and activity than everyone else. Just missing a watch finder.

good for the kid, nice touch with the tasks, helps with chores and getting the child ready for allowance. easy to adapt, and comfortable fit. wish it had more the ability to expand the app as the child ages

I love that I can easily communicate when needed with our daughter. it's the perfect device for us so far, we're happy. now the younger ones want one but in time...I think 4th grade was a good age at least for us.
