At almost 115 bucks (or 49 percent) under its regular price, you can just about consider the 4G LTE-enabled Fitbit Ace an investment in both your child’s well-being and your own peace of mind. Unfortunately, you will need to spend a little more money to unlock this bad boy’s full potential and, well, actually be able to use its cellular support. A Fitbit Ace Pass data plan also includes access to Fitbit Arcade games and location sharing, so you’ll probably want to cough up that extra $9.99 a month.
With or without the additional expense, you’ll get a reasonably large and high-quality color OLED display, a number of extremely useful health monitoring tools, a design that’s both playful and decently robust, and a… not-so-great battery life rating of “16+ hours.” All in all, that’s definitely not a bad list of features and capabilities for one of the cheapest brand-name smartwatches on the market and quite possibly the best such kid-friendly device available stateside in 2025.
