Fitbit Ace LTE supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and GPS. They feature a simplified version of the Pixel Watch 2’s optical sensor, as well as an accelerometer, gyroscope, altimeter, magnetometer, and ambient light sensor. Google has removed health sensors that kids don’t need, such as the ECG, which has an age limit of 22 years and older.

In place of the usual apps, the watch has games that encourage kids to be physically active. There’s also a Tamagotchi-like character, Eejie, for whom you can buy rooms, clothes and other accessories using special “tickets” earned from playing active games on the watch.
The School Time feature allows adults to limit gaming during certain hours. Fitbit Ace LTE also allows kids to text and call their parents. Adults can receive and send messages and track progress toward monthly goals using the Fitbit Ace app, available for Android and iOS. The watch supports up to 20 approved contacts, and parents can track their kids’ location, with data deleted after 24 hours.
