Fitbit Google Ace LTE - Kids Smartwatch with Call, Message, GPS, and Activity-Based Games, Ace Pass Data Plan Required - Spicy - Moovin

By far the best watch for kids. We gave our 8 year old and our 6 year old this watch a month ago and they have taken to them flawlessly. Very easy learning curve. This watch makes it fun to move and unlock “quests” and “games” along the way. Easy to charge & band doesn’t scratch them or irritate them. Communication is easy, and guardians control the call list- safety is at the forefront of this kids watch. Highly recommend.

After reading other reviews and really carefully considering this purchase, we are happy we decided to give it a try. I have had fitbits for over 7 years now, and my husband and I currently each have the fitbit versa 2. I was a little worried the Ace might be too big for my 8yo's wrist, but its actually a great size. It is a little thicker than the versa, but I expect that given its meant to have the housing to be able to use a 4G network. Setting it up was quite easy, and being able to add other family members was great. The app is easy to sync to the phone, and both parents have the app (as well as grandparents for emergency uses). It seems pretty durable, as someone who has knocked the crap out of her Versa 2, I dont really have any concerns for the Ace. I did buy a protective case for it that is really thin and came in a 2 pack, just because things happen and its an 8yo, but I really dont have any concerns about its durability. It is fairly accurate in letting you know when the watch is on or off your kids wrist (came in handy when I was able to figure out why they weren't answering my messages) and gives you a close approximation of where they are via GPS. Did it know that my kid was at a neighbor's house? Yes. Was it so accurate that it knew the moment he crossed the street? No. Once they were further into the neighbors yard, it showed as much, but to expect 100% accuracy is probably just going to let you down. It does at least get you 95% accuracy, so you can make sure they haven't wandered off to somewhere they shouldn't be, and again, lets you know if the watch is on, which could be a useful feature if your kid is prone to trying to sneak. The keyboard on it is incredibly small, again not surprising given its a watch. My kid enjoys it because its like a little spy watch, but mainly uses quick responses or just chooses to call if he needs something more elaborate. So far, we haven't encountered any low signal issues, and we truly live out in the middle of no where (i.e. 20 minutes from the closest town, not even city) and its worked well. However, because it is on 4G and always looking for signal, we've found we can only go 1.5 days before needing to charge the watch. I really dont know how they could make that better, considering phones do the same thing if they dont have signal with a much larger battery. For as small as it is, I'm impressed it lasts that long, with my kiddo turning the screen on every 10 minutes to check step progress and time, lol. Overall, this has been a great purchase for our family and a great alternative to a phone!

We were excited to get this for our soon to be 10 year old daughter. She was excited as well when she opened the box and saw it. The hardware is great, the watch software is great, the user interface is great. The setup was super easy on my Samsung phone. I was immediately able to call and text her, as she was able to call and text me. We set up my wife's phone, but we had to tweak her Pixel's permission settings, which was fine since we know how to do that. Sadly, that is where the good ends. Here are the problems, from minor annoyance to outright design failures, which are quite surprising since I expected more from such a major tech company. 1) The grandparents got stuck with the app setup on their phone, as they don't know how to go into settings to allow the proper permissions. They were able to call my Daughter, but she was not able to call them, which is very disappointing as we listed them as emergency contacts. We can fix it, but it shouldn't be difficult. 2) I have a Galaxy Watch 7. If my daughter called me, I would not get a notification on my watch. If she texted me, I would get a notification but could not answer. I use my watch so I don't always need to have my phone with me. However, in order to ensure my daughter can always reach me, I need to have my phone near by at all times. Ridiculous that there is no support for Android Watches to receive or make calls to the Ace LTE. 3) Android Auto support is even worse. While driving, a call or text from my daughter was not sent to Android Auto. Therefore, if my daughter calls while I am driving, I will not know until I check my phone. Again, unbelievable that Fitbit/Google did not anticipate that parents would want to get notifications or calls on their Android Auto screens. 4) My wife's car doesn't have Android Auto, so she connects through Bluetooth. However, her Bluetooth connection would not recognize an incoming call either. 5) We paid for the 50% full year subscription in advance. Be aware that if you purchase a full year upfront, and you find you don't like the Ace LTE experience, you will not be refunded the cost of the subscription. It is truly surprising that this product would be released with all of these connectivity limitations by Google. There are at least 6 other similar products available. While the Ace LTE may have better quality hardware, it seems like the other options have a much better thought out infrastructure plan for their products. The other companies seem to understand their customer needs. Surprising, Google was clueless with their approach for a kid's LTE watch.

My 8 and 10 year old have been begging me to let them go out on their own and do things like bike to school for a while, but I haven't wanted to give them a phone and I didn't feel comfortable not having a way to contact them to allow them to do that. But the Fitbit Ace 3 LTE has been a game-changer, making parenting a whole lot easier and more fun! Why our fam loves it: - Actually feels made for kids and looks stylish without being super chunky and awkward like other competitor kids watches. The bright colors and quirky clock faces have made it an instant hit. My kiddo loves showing it off and it's comfy enough for all-day wear, even during their wildest escapades. - Gets them moving: I've never seen my kids more motivated or more excited to get off the couch and move around! I love coming home and watching them try to play golf or fish in the living room. They actively ask me to walk instead of drive to the local shops, and the look of joy when they get something cool for their eejie character makes me so happy! - Brings us closer together: I didn't really realize how exciting it would be to get my first messages from them and to be able to contact them whenever I wanted. They send me short messages saying Hi or telling me they got to the zoo; the first time I got a voice memo from them telling me about their favourite animal they saw I was so much more touched than I thought I would be. Especially because my 8 year old is so young and it's so exciting for her to have a way to talk to me she sends me emojis and messages throughout the day and it gives me a way to stay connected with her even when I'm not around! - Peace of Mind: The GPS with LTE mean I can always check in and see where they are, and the inclusive subscription price is the same I'd have to be paying if I got them another watch line. Super reasonable price for what you get! In a Nutshell: I'm not sure why some of the other reviews are saying Wifi only – I was a little confused at first but after reading a lot of reviews not on amazon I went ahead and bought it to take a chance. The watch works completely fine off Wifi and it everything I needed to hold off having to get my kids a phone for a few more years. Excited to see what else they come up with!

We have been looking for some kind of a tracker watch for our younger kids who we do not want to have phones yet. Our daughter is six and our son is eight and they sometimes go off and play with other kids in the neighborhood and we wanted to be able to track where they are. I like that there is a messaging and phone feature on these watches. It cost $9.99 a month per watch run them. We had a different brand before called Junior tracker and it was incredibly unreliable as far as messaging, calling or tracking. We also tried a simple tile attached to a watch strap but those weren't that great either. I think the kids didn't really care to wear them so they would just get left behind no matter what we did. So we tried that Junior tracker watch but the watch would disconnect and it would still show up on the app like it was tracking so we would think our kid was in one place but it turns out they would be all over the place and we weren't getting the feedback properly. We came across this one and bought it. So far, I am very happy with how it works. Super easy to set up. What I'm not happy with are the built-in games. There's no way to delete the built-in games. On the upside, they can't use the games unless they do movement tracked by the watch. I guess that's pretty cool. Sometimes they run around the house to try to get their 1,500 steps so that they can play the games, but I really don't like it that games are on there at all, and especially because they can't be deleted. You can increase the movement goal to make it a little harder to get to the games (note: only the kid can modify their goals on the watch directly, you can't do it in the parent app for some reason). And of course they know how to hack it already by swinging their arms around like monkeys and stuff to gin up more steps than they deserve. If anyone buys this and wants to try my work around, this is what I do: you are able to set the watch to "school time" which blocks incoming calls and games, so I just have school time running 24/7. It doesn't allow me to call them if it's on school time, but they can call me, and I can message them, though they won't get a notification from my message. It seems like the best way to have a tracker. I suppose if I ever needed to call them, I could go into the app and disable the school feature temporarily. I'm going to try this out for a week or so and if it seems like it's functioning as just a GPS and communicator then we will keep it. If it doesn't work because of having to turn it on school mode all the time, then I would probably return them and look for something else. I really just want a tracker with a very basic phone and messaging service. I wish this was that!

Pretty good watch for kids. My daughter likes a lot of features that come with it the games and the ability to see her movement. I like the fact that I can track her and know where she’s at. I also like that she doesn’t get to get phone numbers and talk to people without me authorizing and allowing ,overall this is a great watch for parents and kids instead of a phone because of concerns with content that is not suitable for kids. I highly recommend this instead of a phone. Easy set up . Fits good on 9 year old hand.

Pros: Nice price. Fits my four year old’s wrist well. Easy to use. Cute, comfortable and durable. Cons: Reception is spotty. No location history. Can’t see battery life from app. Calls are clear. Can take all games off to limit screen use. Battery typically doesn’t last us ALL day, more like 8-5. My son is at the age to do some summer camps at different places without me so I wanted location and communication just in case. And starting now to start testing it out before that. At school I can’t even see where he is until he goes outside.

This watch is just what I’ve been looking for for my two kids who are eager for more independence but in my opinion too young for a smart phone. The kids previously had Fitbit Ace fitness trackers, which they wore daily and enjoyed checking their step and exercise count on, so they were already used to having a watch on daily and are extremely pleased with the Fitbit LTE as a major upgrade. CALLS & MESSAGING: Main functionality we as parents were looking for. I love that they don’t have to carry around a phone (that inevitably would be dropped / lost) and the call functionality works really well (can even leave voice messages). Messaging works great too. Kids say that it’s a bit tricky to type on the tiny watch face keyword (understandable!) but the watch provides suggested replies that often works really well and can just be tapped on to reply back. You can add emojis to messages which of course is being used frequently. We look forward to having more friends using the watch so that the kids can text with them (this functionality can be turned on / off as far as I understand). LOCATION TRACKING: Love this functionality as we give the kids more freedom to roam the neighborhood and expand their range to be independent. Great to check that they arrived to school in the morning as they walk there on their own. I love that I can check their location to see if they are on their way home when they say they are, versus calling/messaging them as I think this allows them to feel much greater independence (without mom having to worry about them being a few minutes late…). DESIGN: Great size watch face for little wrists. Cute comfortable bands. We have tried both the fabric and the silicone type bands. The kids slightly prefer the fabric ones, but are good with either type. It’s nice to have the silicone one for sweaty exercises in my opinion. We wish there were even more designs to choose from. It’s really fun for the kids that adding new bands unlocks new things on the watch. SET UP & APP: Set up was very easy, we didn’t experience any issues and the set up flow was easy to follow. The App interface is simple and easy to navigate. I can see both kids profiles on one page and select which one to call/text/locate from the same page. I can track their movement, including steps and exercise. GAMES / incentives to exercise: The games can be used for short times before the kid is asked to complete a movement task to unlock more ‘screen time’. Great functionality! Son, 10 years old: The games kept his full attention for some time, and now he uses them once in a while. That being said, he’s an active kid already and moves plenty without the game incentives (i.e. they aren’t providing much additional motivation for him and that’s OK). I think the games are adorable so he might just be a tad old for them. Daughter, 9 years old: Absolutely loves the games and moves all the time to unlock additional game time etc. She loves the cute interface, the rooms and the avatars. The functionality of unlocking extra stuff for the games / avatars is really engaging to her. COST: Main con for me is the cost of the watch, but compared to getting them an Apple Watch or a smart phone with a data plan, I think this is a much better option/value for kids/tweens. BONUS: Option to add schedules when certain functions are turned off, for example games or calling during school time (you select the hours yourself). Lots of settings are customizable, which is great. Love the plastic free packaging!!! That’s how all electronics should be packaged.

Bought this for my daughter and absolutely gutted that it does not work in Canada. Amazon.ca why have it on your platform when it does not work in Canada. Actually ships from the USA.

Es una barbaridad que vendan un articulo que no se puede usar en mexico por que la app del celular ni esta disponible en mexico, Amazon deberia hacer algo

This item doesnt work in the UAE, do not buy if you plan to use it in the MENA region as it is not made for it. I dont understand why Amazon would sell such an item in our region. should be removed or atleast notify the buyers.

CANADIANS: DOES NOT WORK IN CANADA.

الساعه لاتعمل في الامارات. بسبب عدم المقدره على تحميل البرنامج للهاتف. ولا تستطيع استخدام الساعه بدون البرنامج.
