What can you do with the vivofit jr 2

The vivofit jr 2 is designed with both kids and parents in mind. The band functions are designed for kids and to be as easy as possible to use while the vivofit jr companion app is designed for parents to easily be able to control and check their activity progress, sleeping and even chores. The band allows kids to check their piggybank, rewards, activity goal and even remind them that they need to do a chore at a set time.

Chores, Rewards and Goals

These watches allow parents to give their kids virtual gold coins for completing chores that you, the parent, have designated in the app. You can select pre-set chores or make your own custom chores like brushing teeth, homework time or practice time and assign the amount of gold coins given for completing that chore. Finally you can set a ‘goal’ that for a set amount of gold coins your kids can cash in for a special reward like a video game, book or something special they’re really looking forward to.

FAQ

How can I get the other themed adventures?

You can only get access to the other themed adventures when you buy any replacement band available. Just make sure the replacement band you’re getting doesn’t also have the same adventure as your current one. An example of this would be the current Frozen II models Anna and Elsa both have the same adventure but are different styled bands. If you’re not sure just chat to one of our team and we can make sure you will be getting a new adventure. Replacement Bands are $45 AUD and make sure you keep the piece of paper that comes in the box as that will contain the code you need.
