The Fitbit Ace LTE comes with a game subscription service called 'Fitbit Arcade,' which allows you to play racing and fishing games designed specifically for the device using touch, sound, accelerometers, etc. The game play time is limited, and the more you move your body, the longer you can play, which increases your motivation to exercise.



Games aren't the only way to motivate children to exercise. Children can also raise a creature called an 'eejie' through their daily activities. As children achieve their exercise goals, the eejie becomes healthier and happier. In addition, by progressing through the game after exercising, children can get new clothes for the eejie and introduce new decorations to their home.



In addition to the Ace band that comes standard with the Fitbit Ace LTE, there are also collection bands available for purchase separately. When you first put each band on the device, you will get various items, styles, rooms, hairstyles, and hats for your Easy. There will be six collection bands at launch, and new bands will be released regularly.



The Fitbit Ace app is available for both Android and iOS, allowing parents to check their child's real-time location, call and chat with them, register people who can contact their child's Fitbit Ace LTE, and set school time so as not to disturb classes. Setup is said to take just a few minutes after downloading the Fitbit Ace app.



The Fitbit Ace LTE is said to be waterproof up to 50 meters, have a battery life of more than 16 hours, have a scratch- and dust-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 display, and come with a bumper for added protection.



The Fitbit Ace LTE will be available exclusively in the United States on June 5, 2024. The price is $229.95 (about 36,000 yen) for the device, and a monthly data plan for the built-in LTE connection costs $9.99 (about 1,600 yen).
