Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this for our second oldest (6yrs old) since she’s been seeing her older sister with their phone. Since we believe that she wasn’t old enough for a phone yet we chose this route instead. The watch is amazing! Our second oldest enjoys it and truly loves it. Tech: the in app options allow easy use and control. You can even partake in your kid’s challenges/games. The call through app and messaging is easy to use and understand even for my young child. GPS tracking is a nice feature to ensure where your child is as well as the watch alarm locater. Look/feel: My child hates wearing bracelets, bands, or anything that feels constricting around her wrist but she isn’t bothered by the band at all. Use/display: My 6 yr old can easily navigate the display screen and easily read it. The activity tracker keeps her engaged and enjoys the challenges (games). Price: for what it is, it wasn’t too bad in cost even with the annual subscription (allows in app calling and messaging). For some this may be a deterrent, but the annual cost for everything included is t bad at all. Overall: As parents we were skeptical initially since we thought our child may have been too young but they took to it easily and have been able to use it and understand. If anyone of you parents are wondering if or should I purchase this, we say YES. It is the perfect tool and tech.

I bought this watch and a few months later bought one as a gift to my daughter. Battery lasts a day and a half with light use. Love the ability to not have my phone in my hand and still answer- text- and listen to music.

My daughter & I both love this product it’s very good for kids to keep track & in touch with them

This is exactly what we needed for sending our 8 year old across the country to be with his uncle for a week, it gave us some peace of mind while helping him feel independent. Calls and texts work fantastic, it uses its own app which is just fine and more secure, but location ping also shows on maps for me. Location updates within seconds and is extremely accurate. Price is good and he loves wearing it. We disabled all games.

No regrets. ! I have a 9yr old who really doesn't need a cell phone but needed some way to be reached in case I needed to. I did some research to see what options were out there that would suit our needs of simplicity, gps capability, texting and calling and this smartwatch checked all those boxes without breaking the bank. It's a great starter gadget for kids that are too young for the responsibility of a cell phone. My son loves his smartwatch. He is able to text and call without any issues. I would definitely recommend it to fellow parents with kids between 6-11.

Bought almost a year ago and worked great to make phones and text with my child but then it stopped charging. The replacement was stuck in fastboot. Hoping third times a charm.

It gives me peace of mind to know the location of my kid and be able to have contact anytime. Also, the communication is only with authorized contacts.

It solves the purpose. Our kid can connect with us without having a mobile phone and none else can connect with her. Only downside is the charging frequency. It should be charged on daily basis. Kid is enjoying the activities and it involves parents too in some of them.

The Fitbit Ace LTE is a good smartwatch for kids. It is easy to use and offers helpful features like in-app calling, messaging, and GPS, which give parents peace of mind. Overall, it’s a good choice for kids’ everyday use.

We’ve had this watch for our kiddo just over half a year now. It’s been great for all features except when it comes to the game mode the watch can slow down and crash often. Otherwise the GPS, calling, and texting feature are great and extremely safe/ secure. We chose this specifically as we can pick who they communicate with and do not have access to the internet of the capabilities to “buy” anything in an App Store. We also utilize the school feature so they can wear it daily. You pay less a year for the service than a cell phone as well at $10 a month. Would buy again!

My 9 year old started having interest in smart phones and smart watches recently and was asking about getting a phone or a watch for Christmas. I was so relieved when his father found a smart watch that allowed my son to have smart watch capabilities without actually getting a smart phone. We got one for him and his 8 year old brother, and so far it's been such a great decision. Them being able to so easily call me and text me is so helpful. I also really like that I can easily see where they are, regardless of whether or not they're near Wifi, and it also tells me whether or not they actually have their watch on their wrist. So far, this watch is a real game-changer for us and I couldn't be happier with it.`

My 10-year-old loves this watch! It makes movement fun with games and rewards, and I love being able to track their location, message or call them through the app. Setup was easy, and the safety features give me peace of mind. Only downside is the battery—it needs to be charged daily. Still, it’s a great option for kids who aren’t ready for a phone.

One of the best gifts I could have ever gotten my 8 year old. Only downside is the subscription and the battery life. Would be nice if it could last more than a day but it’s great be able to track and communicate with my child with control over who can contact him and who he can contact. Now we are randomly getting texts from our sweet boy telling us to have a nice day and that he loves us. Can’t wait for our middle child to be old enough to buy him one as well.

I purchased this for my 5-year-old daughter. Overall, it's a nice purchase. But for the annual subscription that you have to pay, I wish that you got more out of the device. Battery life is not a full day and there is no sleep tracking. It's a very basic tracker and is mostly useful for GPS and calling/message your children. I understand that there will always have to be a subscription because of the selling point of this device, but I feel like outside of having cellular capability, it isn't offering much compared to other Fitbit devices. I do like that in order for someone to communicate with your children, YOU have to approve them through the app (more safe vs having a connected watch that accepts calls/messages from anyone). I also like that your kids can connect to friends.

My daughter loves her new watch. She is able to keep in contact with us as she explores the neighborhood and develops her sense of independence. I like that we control who can contact her and it can't be used to call other friends with the same watch, only contacts approved through the parent app. Since she is under 13, there is a managed account, and we are setting up a special managed debit card to link so she can use tap to pay within limits. She is too young for a phone, so this is the best solution for us.

Best thing to keep in touch with our kid without having to buy a phone. The only Con i find is the spotty reception.

Easy to set up and it gives you an option to reach out to your kids without the distraction of a smart phone. It also checked the box of tracking your kids.

I absolutely love this product. I bought this for my niece last year and it was definitely a big hit with her. I love the fact that it also has GPS installed in it and it can make calls if needed.

I missed the last step in my research. Silly me missed the part about a network subscription being required to use the watch for basic use like telling time or playing games. It was cheaper than most major phone networks by a few dollars, but still was not what I thought. Either way, my kids love it, and will circle the house to meet their steps goals. I do like how they can call each other and both parents directly. Just make sure you read the fine print before you buy.

★★★★★ Great product! The quality is excellent, it works exactly as described, and it offers good value for the price. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to others.
