When a software update is available for the Bounce™ watch, it is automatically downloaded to the smartphone that the watch is paired to behind the scenes. Once downloaded, a notice will appear within the Garmin Jr.™ app notifying you of the pending update. This notification will appear within your child's avatar as shown below. When going into your child's dashboard, software update instructions will be listed allowing you to install the update to the watch.  The watch must stay connected via Bluetooth® to the paired phone to install this update.
