Garmin Introduces Bounce 2 Smartwatch for Kids
Garmin has launched the Bounce 2, a revolutionary smartwatch designed specifically for children. This innovative device provides a perfect blend of connectivity and fun, allowing parents to keep in touch with their kids while offering a range of engaging features. The stylish design appeals to kids, making it an attractive option for families considering how to manage communications without resorting to smartphones.
Features Designed for Connectivity and Safety
The Bounce 2 offers a suite of connectivity features that ensure parents stay informed about their children’s whereabouts. With the use of the Garmin Jr. app on a compatible smartphone, parents and pre-approved contacts can communicate with their children seamlessly.

Two-way Calling and Messaging
Equipped with a built-in speaker and microphone, the Bounce 2 allows for voice messaging and calls. Parents can easily reach their children, giving them peace of mind whether they are nearby or far away.
Text Messaging Capabilities

Real-time Location Tracking
Parents can monitor their child’s location in real-time. This feature is especially useful for outings, as parents will receive notifications when their child leaves or enters designated areas, thanks to the new geofencing capabilities.
