FAQs
What is the Ace Pass Data Plan?
The Ace Pass Data Plan is a required subscription that enables the core communication (calling, messaging) and location tracking features of the Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch. It ensures the watch can connect to the network.
Can my child call anyone they want?
No, your child can only call and message contacts that you, as the parent, have approved and added to their contact list via the Fitbit Ace app.
Is the Fitbit Ace LTE waterproof?
The Ace LTE is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand splashes, sweat, and brief immersion in water (like during hand washing). It is not designed for swimming or prolonged submersion.
How do I collect new bands and unlock rewards?
New bands can be purchased separately. When a new, compatible band is attached to the watch, it automatically unlocks new games, characters, or other digital rewards within the Ace LTE ecosystem.
What age is the Fitbit Ace LTE suitable for?
The Fitbit Ace LTE is designed for kids, generally recommended for ages 7 and up, to encourage activity and provide safe communication.
Can I see my child's activity stats?

Does the watch have a camera?
The Fitbit Ace LTE does not feature a camera. Its focus is on activity, communication, and location services.
