Made for adventure

• Track steps, sleep and daily recommended activity minutes.
• By meeting daily activity goals, children can unlock new app adventures, games and icons in the Garmin Jr. app, reliving the Black Panther’s most exciting moments alongside their favorite Marvel Avengers characters. Kids will also receive Infinity Stone points that can be used to reveal new images of the Avengers.
• Timed activities let kids track steps and estimated distance during playtime, sports practice and more and view their activities later in the Garmin Jr. app.
• Toe-to-Toe step challenges encourage kids to compete in friendly step competitions with their friends and family who are using a compatible Garmin device.
• Quickly access a child’s emergency contact information with the ICE (in case of emergency) widget.
• Parent-replaceable battery gets up to 1 year of battery life.

For the parents

Using the Garmin Jr. app on a compatible smartphone, parents can view their child’s activity, sleep, chore data, and more. The app can also be used to assign weekly or daily chores and schedule alerts that show up as icons on the display, letting kids who can’t read know what they need to be doing. After a task or chore is complete, children will receive virtual coins that can be redeemed for agreed-upon rewards. What’s more, by enabling “Kid Mode” in the Garmin Jr. app, kids have limited access to monitor and check off their chores and view the latest mission in their app adventure.

Designed to comfortably fit even the smallest wrists, the Black Panther – special edition vívofit jr. 3 is available in limited quantities exclusively on Garmin.com.
