Just bought my son a ace 2 which he is very happy with, however I somehow missed on the feature list that it doesn't recieve any text notifications. The call notification is great, but it would be much more practical to have some text notification.
A polite response from the mod. But if you search the forums (when sfdc is not down that is) its clear that all the other polite responses to the same question can also be translated to:

My kids are too young for cell phones. When I send a message to their Ace watch they should be able to read them directly on the watch without the need to have a smartphone.

Well too late for my kids. They grew out of that watch a year ago and now have a smartphone anyway so I can text them there. Too little too late for us, but happy that other families have this ability. Keep up the good work.
