Does anyone have a positive experience with the Bounce?

I'm looking to buy a smart watch for our son for his birthday. If the Bounce works as advertised, it seems like it would be perfect... but the reviews are overwhelmingly negative. It's hard to believe Garmin would put out such a problematic product. I'm hoping the people with positive experiences just aren't posting about them... anyone out there?

    We bought one Garmin Bounce for my son. Worst watch ever! Very disappointing. Invested a lot of money and my son broke the screen in a couple of months. If this is supposed to be a children's watch, why is not the screen scratch and impact resistant? Location and tracking works hit and miss. The battery life is bad, the watch does not even last 24hours charged. I expected more for this brand.

    Garmin Bounce Cons:

    Tracking is seriously lagged. You need to constantly request a refresh, it doesn't do so on its own. 

    Sleep is not truthfully  recorded. My daughters watch was on charge during the night and yet  there was recorded sleep with stages. 

    You cannot clearly hear the voice notes sent through the app.

    Boundaries that you set on the watch cannot be customized for a more accurate zone. You end up zoning too much or too little. You cannot change the shape of the zone either.

    Set text messages don't always fit with a response. Would be better if a response could be typed.

    The watch needs to be charged every other day or every day depending on how often it is used.
