Fitbit Ace 2 sms or third party text notifications.

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.

Same situation here. We assumed that was a given. Please prioritize this feature. 

Kind regards, Mikkel

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:

 

"It ain't gonna happen".

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.
