TBD Review: 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! Review: This is my first time touching a kids smart watch, so I can't compare it to anything else. Although, i will say this. I'm overall happy with the watch. Me and the kids don't use many of the features. I mainly use it to locate and message/call my kids. A few things: -A screen protector is a must...you know, because kids... -One watch was stuck on boot logo and i couldn't reset it. Luckily it was still in manufacture's warranty for 6more days and Google is replacing it in a week or two. -The provided strap.. my god the Velcro is garbage or that's just the life span (~10 months) Watch flew off son's arm and cracked the screen. Only use the click bands if possible or inspect the Velcro every so often. -Tracking feature is normally really good, other times it takes a while for some reason so I'll restart the app -Messaging is nice now, voice to text available after a software update and you can add other people to your trusted contacts list. -Battery life is garbage in my opinion. Lasts less 20hrs with light use. I would like to see ~26-30 hours worth of battery for when the kids forget to charge it. -Offers Google pay for kids which is awesome. The only downside is I can't add a regular bank card and the other options cost a fee (i.e. greenlight) -Call speaker is weak Overall id say it's a great first model watch. If they release a new version, I'd very likely upgrade for the well needed improvements.

Man this is awesome! Simple, effective and safe. My kids love to play on it. And we limit their calls to who we trust. Great value for the money, the monthly “cellphone fee” for calls is only 10.00. This has gps etc, no social media.. this is a parents dream for communication and safety

He probado varios relojes inteligentes para niños y el Fitbit Google Ace LTE está a otro nivel. No es solo un rastreador de pasos; es básicamente un Pixel Watch diseñado para sobrevivir a un niño de 8 años. Aquí te cuento lo bueno y lo que debes considerar: ✅ Lo mejor (The Good) Gamificación real: A diferencia de otros relojes donde solo "cuentan pasos", aquí el movimiento desbloquea juegos (Fitbit Arcade) que son realmente divertidos. Mi hijo corre por toda la casa solo para obtener más tiempo de juego. Seguridad y GPS: La precisión del GPS es excelente gracias a la integración con Google Maps. Me da mucha tranquilidad saber exactamente dónde está cuando sale a jugar. Llamadas y Mensajes: La calidad del audio es sorprendentemente clara. No necesitas configurar una línea móvil aparte con un operador físico; todo se gestiona mediante la suscripción de Fitbit (Ace Pass). Resistencia: Ha aguantado golpes, caídas y salpicaduras sin un rasguño. La pantalla es robusta. ⚠️ Lo que debes saber (The Not-so-Good) La suscripción Ace Pass: Ten en cuenta que para usar las funciones LTE (llamadas, GPS, juegos) necesitas pagar una mensualidad. No es opcional si quieres sacarle provecho. Batería: Dura aproximadamente un día completo. Si tu hijo juega mucho, tendrás que cargarlo cada noche sin falta, igual que un teléfono. 💡 Mi consejo pro: Configura los "Intervalos escolares" desde la app. Esto bloquea los juegos y distracciones durante el horario de clases, pero te sigue permitiendo ver su ubicación y enviarle mensajes de emergencia. Veredicto: Si buscas un dispositivo que combine seguridad parental con entretenimiento que fomente la actividad física, este es el mejor del mercado actualmente. Vale cada centavo si estás dispuesto a pagar la suscripción mensual.

The one complaint I have is that I’m not able to see the other conversations that my child sends to the other contacts. You have control over who is added so as long as you trust the contacts you add it shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
