Fitbit Ace 2 Activity Tracker for Kids – Promoting Healthy Habits at an early age
The Fitbit Ace 2 activity tracker is not just a gadget for kids to wear on their wrists, it’s a tool that promotes healthy habits during their early development. With childhood obesity rates on the rise, it’s more important than ever to encourage kids to lead an active lifestyle. The Ace 2 activity tracker makes it easy and fun for kids to do just that.
The step tracking feature encourages kids to move more throughout the day. They can set goals and challenge themselves to take more steps each day, which can help them develop healthy habits that they can carry into adulthood. The sleep tracking feature also promotes healthy habits by encouraging kids to get enough rest each night. Sleep is critical to a child’s physical and mental health, and the Ace 2 helps ensure they are getting the right amount.
- Includes interactive challenges that motivate kids to be more active. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging, encouraging kids to stay active and healthy in a way that doesn’t feel like a chore. Parents can also get in on the fun by setting up family challenges, creating a healthy competition that everyone can enjoy.
- The Ace 2 is designed with safety in mind, with parental controls that allow parents to monitor their child’s activity and ensure they are staying safe while using the device. Parents can also use the Ace 2 to set reminders for their kids to move, ensuring they don’t spend too much time sitting still.
- The durable and swim-proof design of the Ace 2 makes it the perfect companion for kids on the go. It can withstand rough and tumble play, and even the occasional dip in the pool. With a battery life of up to five days, kids can wear the Ace 2 all day and night without having to worry about recharging it.

May daughter who is 8 wanted a Fitbit like my Charge 3, because of the steps and relax mode, silent alarms, etc. So she worked hard to earn the money to buy this kids model. Unfortunately we didn’t see that all it really does is step count because it doesn’t have a heart rate monitor.The screen features are a bit to figure out to navigate. The APP is a pain to switch between her stats and mine on my phone. I don’t think most kids have smart phones, so being able to set the alarms from the watch itself would have been nice instead of having to log in the app to make any changes.The upside, it looks great – she loves it. She’s been wearing it now for 4 months and the condition is still great. It really is water proof and very durable – its been on many serious adventures even into the sea. The battery charge lasts about a week and she really likes the main screen with the option if the little flower that grows through out the day as she gets more steps.Once she wears this one out, I think she’ll start earning for the adult watches with the heart rate monitor and extra features – just buy a girly looking strap.

I have used a fitbit for the last 6 years…I’ve gone through a lot of them, usually while under warranty. My 7 year old has been wearing a really old digital watch that has been falling apart at the seams. She seems me always wearing my fitbit and I know she’s been curious about it. She’s seen commercials for other smart watches, but ones that have games and such which I am not interested in.I decided to get her this for Christmas when amazon was having a sale. We charged it and set it up as soon as she opened it. It was fairly easy to pair with my phone and my account because my kiddo doesn’t have her own phone. She’s been able to quickly figure it out and I love knowing her sleeping patterns and her daily steps.This doesn’t feel as high quality as my fitbit, but that being said its a fraction of the price. The band itself feels really cheap so I think I’ll go ahead and find something a little more high quality feeling.

My alta HR bit the dust and I needed something to count my steps so I can continue posting to my Conquerer Challenge Marathon. I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg and I wanted a brand I could rely on and was already familiar with. First, Yes, I am an adult, and it does work for adults too. There are also plenty of notches in the band to fit even the largest wrists! I’ve only had it a couple of days now but do notice that there are a few downsides… 1) You need to use a family account with it and create a child account for the tracking. This is fine, but, unfortunately, it does not automatically sync with the Marathon app since it’s basically a sub-account of the main one. Ok, fine, I’ll just manually post the distances since I at least have that info now. 2) Which brings me to caveat #2, it doesn’t track distance! ??? I have no idea why it doesn’t offer this info, it seems like a pretty basic conversion from steps but sadly the tracker only shows the # of steps. So I had to find a separate website calculator to convert steps to miles and adds yet another extra step to posting my distance to the marathon app.Those are really the only downsides. Seems to track sleep quite well and does a decent job of step tracking. Just know that it won’t show you actual miles or distance. The band is extremely comfortable and soft. It’s actually WAY more comfortable than the regular Fitbit Alta HR band which used to leave indents in my arm sometimes where i”d have to leave it off for a while to give my wrist a rest.So in short:Pros:Pretty accurateSilent alarm featurestopwatch featurefun watch facescomfortable bandTracks active minutesCons:Information does not sync with other appsDoes not calculate distanceSimple/plain, more juvenile look to it, if that bothers you.Overall it’s comfortable and getting the job done without shelling out a fortune…so A- from me 🙂

My daughter lost this fitbit while swimming in a lake in NH. More than a full year later her friend found it in the lake and gave it back to us. We plugged it in and it charged and is as good as new! It survived being under water for a full year including a NH winter.
