Fitness tracker with parent support

My girls wanted a smartwatch. According to another who accidentally got into the bathtub and didn't survive, it had to be "waterproof." The fact that it doesn't need to be charged is a bonus! I love that it gives my girls a goal to be 'active'. This encourages them to be outside more. I like the chores/rewards system in it. 1) I can set up her chores in the app to keep me organized. 2) I can set reminders on my watch to remind her to do chores like brush my teeth and feed my pet. 3) I can reward them for completed tasks (both in the to-do list and simply edit them to give them more coins). 4) You can exchange coins for the agreed upon rewards. It's very important for us because I've been chasing the worst. or I followed at home but then didn't know what they had or what they didn't have when we went out. Now they're on the phone and they're going with us. I also like that there are [limited] ways to do chores with parents as long as they also have a Garmin. Another big advantage of this watch is also the "timer". We started using timers with our seniors to help with transitions and time management. This puts her in control of her setup and I get a notification on my device keeping her honest. My girls are 3.5 and 6.5. My youngest can't do half of what's in there (Garmin recommends it for ages 4+) but her sister is really good at helping. Perfect for my 6.5 year old.
