Unfortunately, you will need to pay a little more than 170 bucks if you want to take full advantage of this puppy’s super-advanced capabilities, with an Ace Pass data plan setting you back $9.99 a month. That’s your access point to not just standalone cellular connectivity, mind you, but GPS tracking and Fitbit Arcade games as well, so I’m afraid you will definitely have to spend the extra cash no matter where you decide to purchase your Ace LTE from.
By the way, your number one alternative shopping route right now is probably Best Buy, where the kid-friendly device costs $199.95. For some reason, Amazon itself doesn’t appear to be currently stocking the voice call and text messaging-capable smartwatch, so don’t be shocked if Woot runs out of inventory (especially at $169.99) very soon too.
