Google quietly announced the Fitbit Ace LTE today, and it’s basically a smartwatch designed for kids with games and quests to make fitness fun. Fitbit Arcade consists of movement-based games for every level. The more you move, the further you get through the game.
Featuring daily activity tracking (Light Activity, Moderate / Vigorous Activity, Steps, and Floors), LTE connectivity with Google Maps support, GPS, voice calling, text messaging, and the ability to setup designated family/friends as contacts. Two things you won’t find on this smartwatch are the calories burned and heart rate, as these vary a lot in children, especially when most features have been gamified. For voice calling and text messaging, you’ll have to download the dedicated Fitbit Ace app from the App Store or Google Play. Available June 5 in ‘Mild’ and ‘Spicy’ colors, priced at $229.95 USD.
