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

Comfortable design that sports a pretty thin profile, Stellar battery life that pushes well into a fourth day, Advanced sensors and software deftly track your movements
Functionality as a smartwatch is severely limited, Nonexercise apps don't really do much
Fitbit has established itself as a leader in wearable fitness, and Ionic only solidifies that position. It has an excellent array of sensors for tracking your fitness and movements. It has Pandora integration and Bluetooth support for headphones. Its batt...

Vibrant screen, Changeable straps, Safe for swimming, Excellent battery life, Smart notifications, Built-in GPS and NFC, Pandora integration, Open SDK for app developers,
Expensive, Thick bottom bezel, Case easily scratches

Up to four-day battery life, Music storage, Quick and easy mobile payments, Accurate and insightful sleep analysis
Design, Touch screen sometimes unresponsive, Not many apps (yet), No always-on display
For Fitbit users who are fans of the company's older devices, the Ionic is a huge upgrade. Fitbit is promising that more features — such as expanded NFC capabilities, more apps, and health features like sleep-apnea alerts — are on the horizon.However, Fit...
Abstract: Fitbit has a full-fledged smartwatch. But can it compete with Apple Watch?Squared-off, metal, a slightly curved screen. The Fitbit Ionic looks sharp on my wrist. It also looks like an Apple Watch. Or, close enough to one that most people might confuse it...
Great design with beautiful colour display, Waterproof, GPS, Excellent platform, Continuous heart-rate monitoring, Automatic exercise recognition, Multi-sport tracking, Comfortable, Decent battery life
Touchscreen not responsive enough, Expensive, It's not that smart as smartwatches go
The Fitbit Ionic not only brings a solid, lightweight design with a beautiful screen, it also adds built-in GPS and dedicated swim functionality that the earlier Blaze was lacking. Compared to the newer Versa, it also offers GPS for that more complete exp...
Abstract: If you're sick and tired of reaching into your pocket for your smartphone every time someone sends you a messange on WhatsApp, you might find the convenience of a smartwatch – which delivers notifications straight to your wrist over a Bluetooth connection...
Fitbit's app remains excellent, Good wrist cardio tracking, Good battery life for a smartwatch
Lacks smartwatch features, It still feels like a step-counter with knobs on rather than a truly useful running/gym companion, It really is not a sexy thing
The Ionic hasn't quite reached its goals: it's a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly.The divisive design doesn't help (although Fitbit fans are used to it; the Blaze was divisive too), but the bigger concern is the sometimes sluggish performance and...

Better strap, Guided workouts, Still a good sport watch
More expensive in the US, Poor value if paying more, Underwhelming Adidas input
The Fitbit Ionic Adidas Edition, much like the standard Ionic, is still a work in progress. It's a decent running watch, with accurate GPS tracking and good heart rate skills, and a brilliant health tracking ecosystem – just like the Ionic. The Adidas Edi...
Abstract: Fitness trackers, which are also called activity trackers, activity monitors or fitness bands, are like high-tech pedometers that can count your steps and then estimate the distance you've travelled and the calories you've burned. The biggest activity b...
Abstract: Do a search for Fitbit on Amazon, and you’re presented with a huge amount of choice. Even if you discount all the skins and third-party trackers piggybacking off the brand name, there are no less than 11 Fitbits vying for attention. How do you pick betwe...
