The best smartwatch for kids that I've tested is not an Apple Watch or Garmin

Google's new $229 Fitbit Ace LTE is full of whimsy, fitness-centric games, and useful security features.

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. 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. The Fitbit Ace LTE is the perfect device to give kids control over their day, connect them to approved contacts, and track their location when needed.
