Google announced a smartwatch for kids — and it looks pretty good
The Fitbit Ace LTE works over LTE and requires a data plan, but not an extra phone line. It can call and text up to 20 people entered as contacts into the device — but only those who have the Fitbit Ace app installed on their phones. Only parents can access the GPS tracking, according to the specs.
This is both good and bad, but I think in the end it will be bad if we go by googles track record so far.
