Great little device
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!

Great combo of communication/safety device for kids, while encouraging movement
My kids (2nd grade and 4th grade) have absolutely LOVED their Ace. It provides me peace of mind because of the tracking and communication aspect, it provides my more anxious kid peace of mind that he can text me easily, and the kids genuinely enjoy the games and features on the watch which encourage movement.Pros- kids love the games, which encourage movement. They’ll jog in place or dance around just to earn points and complete quests. It’s fun to have them ask me how to pronounce certain city names that are featured in games, so they’ve learned how to read/pronounce Nagasaki or Nairobi. I appreciate the ‘school mode’ feature so the kids aren’t tempted to play the games at school.- Kids easily use it to text me, including voice memos- Kids always know the time instead of asking me for the time- Location tracking works well for me; haven’t had any major complaints. Very occasionally it’ll take an extra second or two, but it’s not annoying enough to merit concern.- Kids have self-taught themselves how to use all the various features on the watch, and will explore the features using the tutorials or just by poking around- Step tracking encourages them to increase their daily movement/step count.Cons- Kids love the games, like kaiji golf where they mimic a golf swing, and they’ll whack me in the face if i round a corner and they’re standing there trying to advance the level- Kids easily use it to text me (the time I panicked during basketball camp because I got the message ‘Help’…then followed by ‘coach made us plank for 5 min and my arms are dying’; or they text me to tattle on each other), including voice memos (a 60 sec long clip of my kid saying ‘BLORP BLORP BLORP BLORP’- Kids always know the time instead of asking me for the time, so when I say “it’s 7:30 let’s get going before you’re late”, they say “NOOOO it’s actually 7:29”- LTE plan is separate and can’t be more cheaply bundled with existing plans, but this is super minor.- The tiny screen and text makes me feel super old when I try to look at it or text using it. How the heck are my kids navigating it so easily!?- Step tracking means the kids ask me what my step count of the day was, and they smugly tell me they got 3x my count.

Good product in theory
I bought two of these for my 7 and 8 year old. I was very excited to have these for the summer to give them a little bit of freedom in our neighborhood but still be able to keep tabs on them. The watches give kids the opportunity to customize them a bit, including add their own screen lock. About 3 weeks after purchasing, my youngest forgot her screen lock code. Not shocking for a younger child. I was pretty shocked however to find out that the only way to get around a forgotten lock is to factory reset it. Note, this is different than the PIN which can be reset from the companion app. I attempted to follow the factory reset instructions on line in the support forums but discovered that there is some issue in the SW and it can’t be completed. When I reached out to the support team via chat they escalated it to a more senior support tech who then followed up via email stating the only option is to replace the device and gave me two options to do so. I replied to the email within a few hours of receipt with my choice. That’s where the communication stopped. It’s been weeks and no communication from the support team despite me following up several times. It’s disappointing to have paid for a worthless product itself but also still be paying a monthly subscription.For a product targeted towards kids, this seems like a huge flaw.
