The Fitbit Ace 2 is an activity tracker designed with kids in mind.
The fun begins right from the start with kids being able to pick their own clock face for the Ace 2, as well as the avatar and cover photos for the app.
The Ace 2 has a comfortable band, an easy-to-use touchscreen and, importantly, an adjustable clasp that lets the Ace 2 grow as the kids grow.
This device is water resistant to 50 metres so kids can wear it in the shower, or by the pool, without a care in the world.
The Ace 2 tracks every movement your youngsters make, as everything active they do counts as exercise.
We all need incentives to get active, and children are no exception. With this in mind, the Ace 2 provides ongoing motivation by letting kids see stats, goal celebrations, parent-approved friends and call notifications.
While the Ace 2 is made for kids, parents can keep an eye on things. Using Parent View, they can monitor kids’ activity and approve their connections. The family account and parental consent is required for children under 13 as an extra safeguard, with further protection built in through Protected Kid View; kids can only keep track of their stats and badges, choose favourite clock faces and avatars and connect with parent-approved friends. Potentially harmful outside influences are kept at bay.
While your kids stay active and motivated, the battery will keep up with their bursts of energy. Up to five days of battery life means less charging and more moving.

As I have seen other reviews, I purchased this for my 9-year-old grandson. The tracker works fine, but the band broke only after 2-3 months. The tracker was also falling out of the bottom portion of the band. I think that Fitbit needs to redesign a band that works for children.
My son is 9 years old and is the size of an 11 year old and it fits great with loads of room. He loves it and loves the compete with us on challenges. Definitely a great buy, we got it the day it released and he's even got in the bath three times with it on and forgot and it still works great!
Great product, tough for the kids. Can keep an eye on how they are going through the app.
This FitBit is great for kids. The strap is very soft, comfortable on the wrist and easily adjustable. The daily challenges and goals are motivating and engaging. The fun clock faces are a nice feature for children.
Built with the intention of making sure your young ones are as active as possible, the Fitbit Ace 2 improves on the previous model with a more eye-catching design, better screen and improved water resistance. To top it all off, it's slightly cheaper than the original, too.
Colorful design; Changeable straps; Swim-proof
Feels a bit cheap; Still somewhat expensive for what it is; App can be fiddly to set up
Fitbit released the original Ace as a fitness tracker for kids last year in a bid to tap into the older child market, and with childhood obesity growing every year it is something that should be a growing market.
