"The Family Challenges feature is a total game-changer for our household! My kids are actually excited to hit their step goals so they can beat me on the leaderboard.

"I wasn't ready to give my daughter a phone yet, but I wanted a way to stay connected when she bikes to her friend's house. The LTE tracking and boundary alerts give me incredible peace of mind. I can send her a quick voice message to come home for dinner, and I love being able to monitor her sleep and activity levels right from my own Garmin dashboard."
