For parents: Keeping the kids safe while wearing the tracker
Through 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, so that the kids who can’t read know what they need to be doing.
Once a task or chore has been completed, kids will receive virtual coins that can be redeemed for selected rewards (subject to agreement). What’s more, by enabling the “Kid Mode” function in the Garmin Jr. app, kids will have limited access to monitor and check off their chores and view the latest mission in their app adventure.
“Gamifying chores and giving rewards for the tasks completed will definitely excite the kids even more, while helping them to stay motivated and focused in meeting their daily chores and goals. Thoughtfully engineered for active living, Garmin products have revolutionised life for many athletes and active people of all levels and abilities. Garmin believes every day is an opportunity to innovate and a chance to beat yesterday; and our latest Black Panther is proof of that,” said Mr. Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia.
