Fitbit announced two new products, the Versa smartwatch which resembles the Apple Watch but focuses on health and fitness tracking at a lower price point, and the Ace fitness tracker designed specifically for kids ages 8 and older to encourage activity by tracking sleep, steps and physical activity with a 5 day battery life. Digital health wearables are increasingly able to monitor vital signs like heart rate and temperature and detect falls.

vitals, temperature and even track when someone falls.

2. The company announced two new products on Tuesday: Fitbit Versa,
a smartwatch that is strikingly similar to the Apple Watch, and its
first fitness tracker for kids, Fitbit Ace.
At first glance, the new Versa's square display and sleek aesthetic a
dead ringer for the Apple Watch. But Fitbit hopes its focus on health
and fitness -- and its lower price point -- will be key differentiators.
Meanwhile, the new Fitbit Ace tracker ($100), designed for kids ages
8 and older, is an interesting move for the company. Rather than
playing catch up to category leaders like Apple, Fitbit intends to get
ahead of the curve by marketing a tracker specifically toward kids.
The Ace, which is nearly identical to its existing Alta tracker, tracks
sleep, steps and physical activity. It intends to encourage children to
stay active. The battery lasts for up to 5 days.
