Garmin has officially introduced the Bounce 2, the latest generation of its children’s smartwatch series. First launched in 2022, the original Bounce was popular among parents for its safety features. Now, the Bounce 2 brings a major upgrade – two-way calling, allowing parents and children to communicate directly through the watch.
Key Highlights
- Two-way calling via 4G LTE with built-in microphone
- New round AMOLED display (1.2-inch touchscreen)
- Bright color options: Light Purple, Slate Gray, Turquoise
- Waterproof rating: 5ATM
- Extra features: GPS tracking, voice message transcription, step counter, sports modes
- Battery life: Up to 2 days per charge
- Price: USD 230 (~₹19,000 / Rp4.9 million)

Two-Way Calling Upgrade
The biggest improvement in the Garmin Bounce 2 is the addition of two-way calling. Unlike the first model, which only supported one-way voice messages, the new version allows children to make and receive calls directly using a 4G LTE connection. This is made possible by the addition of a built-in microphone, making the smartwatch function more like a phone.
Design & Display
Garmin has also redesigned the Bounce 2. The earlier box-shaped screen has been replaced with a round AMOLED display, measuring 1.2 inches. The screen is fully touch-enabled, offering a smoother and more modern user experience.
The watch is designed for children, so it comes in fun, bright colors like Light Purple, Slate Gray, and Turquoise. The silicone strap is soft and comfortable, while the 5ATM waterproof rating ensures it can handle splashes and swimming.
Features for Kids & Parents
The Bounce 2 is more than just a communication tool. It includes:
- Real-time location tracking via the Garmin Jr app
- Voice message transcription for quick communication
- Step counter and sports modes to encourage fitness
- 4GB internal storage with offline music support through Amazon Music
These features make it both a safety device for parents and a fun gadget for kids.
Battery & Pricing
Garmin claims the Bounce 2 can last up to 2 days on a single charge, which is decent for a smartwatch with LTE and AMOLED display.
The smartwatch is priced at USD 230 (around ₹19,000 ). However, Garmin has not yet confirmed availability in India and some other markets.
“The Garmin Bounce 2 is a smart upgrade for parents who want peace of mind and kids who want fun features. The two-way calling makes it much more practical than the first generation, and the design refresh makes it appealing to children.”
