How to Set up and Use Fitbit Ace 2

Fitbit’s Fitbit Ace is a wearable fitness tracker designed for youngsters aged eight and up.

There are a few fitness features on the wristband, but no motion tracking capabilities.

There are a few key features to keep an eye on with the Fitbit Ace 2.

The Fitbit Ace can do everything from telling the time to tracking your steps. The following is a comprehensive list of its capabilities.

These apps can be used to create fitness goals, compete on leaderboards with friends and family, and earn digital badges for reaching particular milestones.

What is there that my Fitbit Ace 2 can’t do?

The Fitbit Ace 2 lacks numerous capabilities that are available on more costly Fitbit trackers like the Fitbit Ionic and Fitbit Versa because of its lower pricing and younger target audience. There are a few features and settings on the Fitbit Ace that aren’t available.

2. GPS tracking: The Fitbit Ace is unable to track its owner’s whereabouts.
3. Heart rate monitoring: The Ace lacks heart rate or pulse sensing equipment. The sleep monitoring feature of the Fitbit Ace is limited to measuring physical movement.

5. Apps: The Fitbit Ace has a colorless OLED display that does not accept third-party apps.
6. Alternative forms of activity, such as swimming or lifting weights, are not detected by the Ace. It can only track how many steps you’ve taken and how long you’ve been active.

Fitbit Ace Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Fitbit Ace a water-resistant device?

The Fitbit Ace is officially described as “showerproof,” while it is not waterproof like the Fitbit Ionic, which is water-resistant up to 50 meters. It also protects you from “lunchtime spills” and “puddle leaping.” It is not suggested to expose a Fitbit Ace to heavy rain or to wear it while swimming.

How Many Colors Does the Fitbit Ace Come In?

The Fitbit Ace is only available in black, but it comes with a purple or blue wristband, dubbed Power Purple and Electric Blue, respectively. There are dozens of interchangeable wristbands available for the Ace 2 and Ace 3, some of which include popular characters such as Minions, but these bands are not compatible with the original Ace.

What Is the Battery Life of the Fitbit Ace?

The original Fitbit Ace and Ace 2 may last up to five days on a single charge; however, the Ace 3 can last up to a week on a single charge.

Who Can Benefit from a Fitbit Ace?

Although the Fitbit Ace is designed for children aged eight and up, it may be worn by adults as well. It’s worth noting, though, that the Fitbit Ace’s bracelet is only suitable for wrists measuring 125mm to 161mm in diameter. The Fitbit Ace may only be used with approved Fitbit wristbands. You will not be able to wear it if your wrist is larger than this size.

What’s the deal with my Fitbit Ace not working?

If your battery is dead and your gadget isn’t charging, left it plugged in for at least 30 minutes before attempting to switch it on.
