Fitbit Ace 3 Officially Launched with $79.95 Price Tag

Fitbit unveils a new activity tracker for kids

Fitbit has officially launched the new Ace 3, an activity tracker specifically aimed at kids and thus coming with several dedicated features in this regard.

First and foremost, the device sports a PMOLED touchscreen display, and as you can see in the photos here, it doesn’t boast a smartwatch appearance, looking more like an activity tracker.

The Ace 3 is swim-proof and packs a battery that can last for up to 8 days per charge. According to the official figures, it can recharge in two hours, with the Ace 3 to connect to an Android device or an iPhone using Bluetooth 4.2.

With a classic wristband made from silicon and coming in just one size, the Ace 3 can track the heart rate, while also packing an accelerometer and a vibration motor. Sleep tracking is also offered, and Fitbit says it has equipped with the watch with faces specifically aimed at kids.

$79.95 price tag in the U.S.

“Fitbit Ace 3 makes activity fun with animated clock face characters that change and grow as kids make progress toward their goal throughout the day. With new bunny, cat, martian and spaceship animated clockfaces, and more than 20 clocks to choose from, kids now have more options to personalize their device and express themselves in a fun and engaging way,” Fitbit explains.

“Kids can also match Ace 3 to their individual style with different accessory band options and, coming soon, Ace 3 will be the first wearable to bring one of the most beloved characters to kids’ wrists: Minions. With two accessory bands in Despicable Blue and Mischief Black, and more engaging Minions features and offerings coming soon, the iconic Minion characters from one of the world’s most successful animated franchises will soon be on-wrist to motivate kids to stay active.”

Fitbit Ace 3 is already available for pre-order starting at $79.95, with the shipping to begin on March 15. The Minions embossed silicon accessory band will go on sale this summer with a $29.95 price tag.
