From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Fitness trackers that document how active we are each day have become a part of everyday life for many of us. Not only are they a great way to ensure you’re reaching your fitness goals but they also monitor your progress, keep track of your heart rate and help you stay motivated.

If you already have one, then you may be considering getting a fitness tracker for your little one too. According to the NHS, children aged between five and 18 years should get a minimum of one hour of exercise every day, and these kind of gadgets can make it easier to keep track this.

The ace 2 can also track your child’s daily steps and active minutes, then provide friendly, on-screen messages to encourage a more active and healthy lifestyle.

The gadget featured in our round-up of the best smartwatches for children, with our reviewer praising how easy it is to use, set up and monitor for the whole family.

“Really light on the wrist (the lightest here), the ace 2 is simple to use; most of the settings are controlled from the app on a parent or carer’s iOS or Android device and the Fitbit mainly shows daily steps and active minutes, so is easy to navigate,” they said. “We love that it can be worn in the shower or while swimming, and our young tester liked being woken up by the silent alarm (a quiet buzzing on their wrist).”
