Garmin renewed the smart watch series for children and introduced Bounce 2. According to the first version, the device, which brings significant changes in both design and functions, emphasizes communication and safety features. Although the price has increased, it draws attention with its advantages.
The most prominent difference of the new model emerges in its design. The previous square design LCD display model is replaced by a round body with a 1.2 -inch AMOLED display. Thanks to more vivid colors and higher shine, the readability of the screen increases. In addition, a more modern appearance is offered in daily use. A lightweight structure that children can easily use is preserved.
Garmin Bounce 2 stands out on communication and security side
The clock gives confidence in daily activities with a 5 ATM water resistance certificate. When the weight and silicone belt is combined with 40.4 grams, an experience that does not bother in long -term use is provided. The device, which creates a comfortable feeling on the wrist of the children, can be easily used during sports. The robustness of the design combines with its adaptation to the moving lifestyle. In addition to all these, a aesthetically more mature line is offered.
The two -way search feature is one of the most emphasized innovations of Garmin on this device. Children can talk directly to their parents and respond quickly to calls. In addition, the feature of sending voicemails is supported by converting messages into text. In this way, the communication of small users becomes more understandable. Despite everything, the simple interface makes the use of children easier.
Location tracking is activated to reduce parents’ safety concerns. Thanks to the device, families can see where their children are. This function provides benefits, especially in outdoor or crowded environments. However, the LTE connection must be active in order to correctly transmit location data. In addition to all these, the user -friendly interface makes tracking more practical.
The features that focus on health and mobility are not forgotten. Step counts regularly follows the daily movements of children. In addition, various sports modes allow different activities to be recorded. Parents can view the level of activity of their children by displaying this data. These features, which promote sports habits, expand the usage area of the device.
On the entertainment side, the Amazon Music application stands out. Children can download music directly to the clock and carry their favorite songs with 4 GB storage. This makes the device attractive not only for security and communication, but also for entertainment. In addition, access to music application is an important advantage to use it offline. Nevertheless, it is remarkable that the storage capacity is limited.
Voice command support is another function that Garmin adds to Bounce 2. Children can control the device by giving certain commands aloud. Menu transitions, application openings and some settings can be easily made in this way. This feature allows users in the young age group to use the device more easily. In addition to all these, it gives practicality for parents.
Garmin on the battery life side, the clock offers two days of use, he says. Although the LTE connection is active, the time is slightly shorter, but it is sufficient for daily use. The short charging time makes it easier for families to work. However, the time may seem limited for those with longer battery life expectations. However, the features offered by the device are partially closing this gap.
Bounce 2, purple, turquoise and dark gray, including three different colors. The US price was determined as 299.99 dollars and was higher than the previous model. However, the LTE connection, the new screen and improved communication features explain the price difference. In increasing competition in the smart watch market for children, Bounce 2 is trying to get a solid place for itself.
