Exciting news for young tech enthusiasts and their families: the Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch is getting a fresh update with some fantastic new features. Named the Season 3 update—Family Matters, this upgrade offers enhancements that are bound to make the smartwatch even more engaging for kids and helpful for parents.
One of the key highlights of this update is the introduction of a family group chat feature. This new functionality allows everyone in your Google Family group to stay connected through messaging. It’s a great way for siblings to chat and share messages directly with each other, as long as they’re listed as contacts in the Ace app.
In addition to the communication tools, the update brings exciting new activities like Family Quests. These quests are designed to motivate families to hit their move goals together. The first quest, charmingly named Turkey Berserky, makes its debut on November 18th and promises fun and rewards for families participating together.
But that’s not all! The update also introduces the Solar Sword Game for even more entertainment. To enhance the fitness aspect, the Movement app now displays real-time heart rate directly on the watch, and there are two new fun Noodle watch faces that help visualize move goal progress.
Looking ahead, Google has teased some intriguing features it plans to roll out in future updates. These include the ability for parents to send voice message responses via the Ace app and the option for downloading voice messages from your kids.
Fitbit Ace LTE users won’t have to wait long to experience these new features, as the update should be fully available by November 14th. The watch will automatically download the update when connected to Wi-Fi with sufficient battery life.
For those considering purchasing this exciting gadget, the Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch is currently priced at $227.99. Between November 21st and December 4th, however, you can snag it for a reduced price of $179.95 at the Google Store—a perfect gift for tech-savvy kids this holiday season!
