Children today aren't spending nearly as much time outdoors as previous generations, which is seeing the need for new solutions like the Fitbit Ace wearable come about. Developed as a fitness tracker for users aged eight and up, the device works by being worn on the wrist and going to work to track a number of different metrics. This includes steps taken, time spent active and even sleep quality, which will help provide both children and parents with access to impressive data to help them make healthier choices in their lifestyle.
The Fitbit Ace wearable offers up to five days of battery life per charge, and will help incentivize kids to get active by rewarding them with badges and other digital rewards.
