Smartwatches are helpful for so many tasks, whether you need a device to track your steps or make phone calls, all without taking your phone out of your pocket. Parents also often find that they make great alternatives for their kid’s mobile phone. While they tend to be rather expensive, you can find discounts throughout the year. This Prime Day you can score a Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch for its lowest price ever at only $171,just in time for the holidays. Regularly priced at $230, this is a record deal that you won’t want to miss.
The Fitbit Ace LTE is equipped with 4G for connectivity on the go, and it’s designed to be set up as a standalone device without the need to be paired to a phone — ideal for parents who want to be able to communicate with or track younger kids who aren’t ready for a mobile phone of their own. It does require a subscription to enable the call and text service via the Fitbit Ace app, as well as location tracking and on-device games. The watch sports some innovative features, such as games that encourage kids to move and watch bands that unlock different features.
The watch is designed to make movement more sustainable for kids. According to CNET’s Lisa Eadicicco, “With the Fitbit Ace LTE, Google is trying to strike a balance of encouraging kids to move without pushing them to overexercise. Activity rewards hit a limit each day to prevent kids from exercising too much just to unlock new content.” With a battery life of up to 16 hours, kids can enjoy their games and stay in touch with family during school and other activities. Other features like Tap to Pay via supported kids’ debit cards are also super useful for kids on the go.
