I recently purchased the Garmin Bounce 2 smartwatch for my nine-year-old daughter and, as I couldn’t find many reviews specifically about its use in the Netherlands, I was a little hesitant about whether the Garmin LTE Network would have good coverage and if all features would work properly.
After using it, I can say that I am very satisfied with the product. The Garmin LTE Network works well in the Netherlands, and the connection has been reliable for calls, messages, and location tracking. The GPS also performs very well outdoors, providing accurate location information during normal use. As expected, GPS accuracy can be reduced inside buildings, but this is completely normal for any GPS device.
Overall, the Garmin Bounce 2 is a great smartwatch for children. It offers a good balance of safety features, communication, and ease of use. It has been a very good choice for my daughter, and I would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a reliable kids’ smartwatch.

Although the watch functions properly, the network connection is so unstable that the product is unusable in practice.
