FAQs
What is the battery life of the vívofit jr. 3, and how do I replace it?
It lasts up to one year on a single CR1632 battery based on typical 2 hours/day usage; to replace, use a coin to twist open the back cover, swap the battery, and reseal—Garmin recommends doing this annually or when the low-battery icon appears.
Is the vívofit jr. 3 waterproof, and can my child wear it swimming?
Yes, it’s rated 5 ATM (50 meters) water-resistant, safe for pool swims, showers, or bath time; however, avoid high-velocity water like diving or waterslides to prevent accidental damage.
What happens if my child loses the vívofit jr. 3?
Use the Garmin Connect app to mark it as lost, which displays your emergency contact info on the screen if found; the last known location is saved via the parent’s phone connection, but it lacks real-time GPS tracking.
