Available Garmin Bounce in Poland and LTE subscription

Hello.

When and if at all will Garmin Bounce with LTE service enter Poland?

LTE for Forerrunner 945 LTE is in the country, while in the case of Bounce it bypasses Poland, offering coverage for Germany and the Czech Republic.

Are there any specifics or plans?

I would like to buy a watch with LTE for my 8-year-old son, who is already a runner and belongs to a club. I would prefer to choose sports equipment and Garmin, but LTE so that my son can contact us is an absolute condition. Otherwise, I will be forced to choose something else. It is a pity that Garmin is delaying so long to extend the availability of Bounce to all of Europe, as if this continent was at least deep, wild Africa. No offense to anyone, of course.

Regards,

  • Could someone from the administration respond to this thread?

  • At the time the Bounce was released, we didn't have network partners in Poland with the right technology for the product. 

    Garmin intends to continue to expand its portfolio of countries in which the Bounce is supported as we identify necessary network partners. At this time we are not able to provide a timeline of this expansion.

  • Thank you for your specific and complete statement. Finally some communication at the level with users. I have a sentiment for Farmon equipment, because in principle I have a lot of these devices from watches to sensors, just like my family. I would like my son, who is already a competitor in an athletics club, to join this group. From your statement I understood that you are able to present the process of expansion and extension of the communication network. I know that LTE on Forerrunner 945 LTE works in Poland. Why then does the Bounce watch not work and cannot be purchased?

  • My Apologies, that was a typo. We are NOT able to provide a timeline. (I corrected the note above). I am not sure of the difference in network requirements, just that they were different enough that we couldn't move forward.
