Do not disturb mode can pause notifications and reminders to move – ideal for when the child is in school. But the Ace 3 does add some additional features.

The monster Fred, meanwhile, appears first as a single blinking eyeball and grows a body and limbs as kids reach step milestones towards the ideal 10,000. For example, the Martian gets an energy bolt after every 500 steps or so and dances once he gets three. It has 28 animated clock faces with characters that change and grow as the child progresses towards reaching their goals.

While the Ace 2 has a few different clock faces, the Ace 3 really kicks this experience up a notch.

The animated clock faces are the biggest difference and the one that really got my 9-year-old son, who has been using the Ace 2 for more than two years, hooked on the Ace 3.

The biggest difference over the Ace 2 is the battery life, which increases from five days to eight. It also means you could effectively go on vacation for a week and leave the Ace 3's charger at home.

Three days might not sound like a lot, but when you're a high-tech family with tons of gizmos and gadgets to recharge on a weekly basis, those few extra days are appreciated. The Ace 3 sports an up to eight-day battery life whereas the Ace 2 only lasts up to five. The biggest updates with the Ace 3 relate to battery life and clock faces.
