The Fitbit Ace 3 Special Edition has introduced Minions-themed activity badges. It consists of the three most popular Minion characters: Stuart, Kevin, and Bob. Illumination, which is an American animation and movie studio, presented the Minions theme. Chris Meledandri founded the studio in 2007.
It’s been over a decade since fitness trackers became popular among adults. However, it seems that this new kids-themed fitness tracker will ensure an active and healthy life. The company understands the importance of keeping the theme fun in order to hold the interest of children.
Features of the new Special Edition
The Fitbit Ace 3 Special Edition was released on Tuesday, June 1. Given the minions theme, it’s designed for kids around the age of 6. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t work for older kids too. The device is swim-proof and features hourly movement reminders along with daily activity goals. And the ‘Minions’ have inspired the special edition’s yellow band.
The dial of the fitness tracker also consists of characters from Minions. According to 9to5google, the Fitbit application will also provide Minions-themed activity badges for encouraging kids to reach different milestones.
Fitbit’s latest device promises to be fueled with eight days of battery life. The device was also designed to survive the potential accidents kids might get into on a daily basis. Like spills or tumbles.
The new edition encourages families to participate together
This special edition will encourage parents and kids to feed their activities that will show up on the Fitbit app. Alison Ross Powers, who is the Head of Global Strategic Partnerships for Fitbit at Google said that it will bring more fun to the device.
Powers also noted that the new Minions-theme will encourage families and kids to highlight their personalities. It will ensure that parents and kids are happily moving while they stay close to their favorite on-screen characters.
Moreover, parents can create a family account on Fitbit, which will allow users to access privacy controls and maintain protection. The fitness tracker is available for sale on the official website along with major retailers across the world.
If your kid already has an Ace 3, then there are replacement bands available with a similar design. The newly launched theme-based fitness tracker costs $79.95. It is available in three colors: Cosmic Blue / Astro Green, Black / Sport Red, and Special Edition Minions Yellow.
Additionally, parents can also add two years of protection plan, which also covers accidental damage for $17.99 for each device. If you want to buy Minion-themed bands separately, then they are available for $29.
