While the Ionic supports future apps and watch faces
Few are available yet. Included apps feel slow and don't launch from the watch face. There's not much on-watch coaching and music storage and playback is often more trouble than it's worth
Bright display, Long battery life, Comprehensive fitness features, Swim tracking, Contactless payments work well
Finicky, incomplete software, Cannot reply to notifications, Limited selection of third-party apps

Robust, swim-proof design, Intuitive iOS app and watch menus, 4+ day battery life, Integrated GPS,
Buggy sync process, Lack of apps, No workout audio cues, Music interfacing is flaky

The truth is that Fitbit has a winner on its hands here, and that's despite the software shortcomings. As the company has done with its Charge, Flex, Blaze, and Alta trackers over the years, I have no doubt updates will improve the usability of Fitbit OS...
Abstract: Last month Fitbit unveiled its $300 Ionic smart watch based on its acquisition of Pebble, and today the company has announced the ship date for its Apple Watch competitor. Fitbit Ionic will hit stores on October 1 in plenty of time for the holidays (and j...

All in all the Fitbit Ionic is without question Fitbit's most impressive offering to date. And in doing so they've got a very legit competitor to certain variants of the Apple Watch, as well as Garmin, on the fitness side. The addition/combination of musi...
Large screen, Good battery life for capabilities, Robust fitness and sleep tracking tools, Built-in GPS, Swim-proof, Inactivity reminders, Contact payment functionality, Guided breathing sessions
Limited app integration, Design can be somewhat polarizing
The Ionic is shaping up to be a a great fitness tracker with smartphone integrations, but for a dedicated smartwatch we still prefer the Apple Watch as the platform is more robust and integrates better with outside parties. The Ionic is available for pre...

Super bright screen, Top-notching fitness-tracking modes, Days and days of battery life, Really comfy on wrist
Half-baked smartwatch features, Managing music is a nightmare, Very big if you have small wrists
