I did find that the younger the child, the more they enjoyed these animations. When they reached their goal, the rocket took off with a blast, much to my younger kid’s delight. The rocket ship, for example, moved closer to takeoff as the step count neared its goal. Our favorites were the animated ones that change along with the fitness stats. It offers a handful of fun clock faces that my kids loved. The interface sticks to basic step counting and doesn’t overwhelm your kids with advanced metrics like heart rate analysis or calorie burn. We broke one band in our testing, while the second has withstood the test of time. Be prepared to replace the band, especially if your kid likes to take the tracker on and off. Simply pop out the tracker unit and drop it into a new band. When the band breaks, it is easy to replace. Though not as slim and sleek as Fitbit’s all-in-on trackers like the Charge 4, the Ace 3 modular design is perfect for kids who tend to be hard on electronics. After a day of outside play, we took off the tracker and washed both my kid’s wrist area and the tracker. We did take some preventative measures that minimized skin irritation. It was comfortable to wear day or night and we had no issues with any skin rashes. My kids, 8- and 10-years-old, had no problem taking the band on and off themselves. The band is sized for smaller wrists with a standard watch clasp that is easy to use. It is comprised of a tiny fitness tracker unit that fits into a rugged silicone band. The Ace 3 is reminiscent of Fitbit’s early fitness trackers.

Unlike the Fitbit Ace 2, which is completely wrapped in silicone, the Ace 3 has cutouts for the buttons, making them easy to press. The black and white display is big enough for kids to view their stats and bright enough to be viewable outside and inside.

My kids had no problem swiping or tapping on the display. The touchscreen is small enough to fit a child’s wrist but not too small for children’s hands.
