Unveiled two months ago alongside three other
wearable devices – Inspire, Inspire HR and Versa Lite, the Ace 2 is finally
available for purchase in the United States. Aimed at kids, the sequel to the
Fitbit Ace can be had for just US$ 70, a good price considering what it has to
offer.
The Ace 2 doesn't bring too many improvements over
the original, so it really doesn't worth the upgrade if you already own the
Fitbit Ace. However, that doesn't mean that it's a useless product, so let's
take a look at what the wearable device has to offer.
First off, this a sturdy gadget featuring a
wristband made of a flexible, durable elastometer material similar to that used
in sports watches. Moreover, the tracker and clasp are made with stainless
steel, so, theoretically, your kid shouldn't be able to break it that easy.
Fitbit Ace 2 sports a touchscreen grayscale OLED
display, and a 3-axis accelerometer, something that the original model lacks.
Also, it's swim-proof and features support for call notifications. The battery,
just like the Fitbit Ace's battery, should provide up to 5 days of use.
The wearable device can track steps and sleep, but
you can also use it to set bedtime reminders and alarms. Fitbit Ace 2 is
available in two color options: watermelon/teal and night sky/neon yellow.
