Google’s Fitbit Ace LTE<\/a> is a cellular-connected smartwatch meant for kids. The Fitbit Ace LTE is normally $180 but it’s now back down to its lowest-ever price of $100<\/a> a few days ahead of this year’s Prime Day<\/a>. There’s even better news: Best Buy<\/a> and Target<\/a> are matching this discount.<\/p>\n

CNET’s Scott Stein reviewed the watch when it was first released in 2024, noting that his 11-year-old son used it constantly for playing games and making phone calls.<\/p>\n

The Ace gives parents a lot of control over who can call or text your child with the watch, for better and for worse. The watch does have a required cellular plan in order to work — at a cost of $10 a month, or $120 annually<\/a> — and was updated to allow for siblings to call each other if they both have the watch<\/a>. However, most communication controls are handled on Fitbit’s Ace app, and primarily allow a parent to call or text their child using the watch.<\/p>\n

The Ace LTE does have its own health-related features as well, but doesn’t have access to app marketplaces in the way that the Apple Watch does or watches that run on Google’s Wear OS. This could be a selling point, or it could be limiting, depending on how much digital freedom is appropriate for your child.<\/p>\n
