I tested the best smartwatch for kids, and it's not an Apple Watch or Garmin

Google's new $229 Fitbit Ace LTE is full of whimsy, fitness-centric games, and useful security features - and it just got a slew of updates.

Google recently launched the new Fitbit Ace LTE, a kids' smartwatch that gamifies physical activity to encourage movement in exchange for playtime on the device. The new Fitbit Ace LTE features a large 41mm by 45mm Gorilla Glass watch face, which seems huge for a kids' smartwatch but it proves to be just the right size in practice. Instead, the watch requires the parents to use the Fitbit Ace app on their iOS or Android smartphone, which gives them full access to their kids' smartwatch settings, location, data plan, messaging, calling, and more.
