Fitbit is off to a great smartwatch start with their Ionic... even though it's more fitness than smartwatch!
Fitbit Ionic review
The touchscreen Fitbit Ionic has GPS, a four-day battery life, on-board workouts & third party apps.
There's a lot of hype behind (and hope riding atop) Fitbit's first true smartwatch. The Fitbit Ionic isn't just the company's first fully-featured effort in the smartwatch space, it's the centerpiece of their pivot into the broader tech space.
- Battery Life
- Great software
- On-board music is annoying to setup
- Inconsistent performance

If the Apple Watch is a smartwatch first and a fitness tracker second, the Fitbit Ionic feels like the inverse. Depending on what you're looking for in a wearable, that could be a very good thing. The Ionic's $300 price tag places it firmly in Apple Watch territory.- 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

- Automatic workout tracking is a nice addition
- Waterproof up to 50 meters
- Great interchangeable bands
- Stores up to 300 songs
- App offerings leave a bit to be desired
- Lacks the ability to respond to text messages/emails
- Not as full-featured as other smartwatches on the market

Today, companies like Garmin, Suunto, TomTom, and Samsung properly push Fitbit forward, preventing the company from resting on its existing innovations. However, an unsurprising master class in wearables taught by none other than Apple — in the form of the Apple Watch — has Fitbit scrambling to maintain its position as king of the fitness hill. Its answer? The Fitbit Ionic. Our Fitbit Ionic review reveals a wearable that blends the impressive fitness tracking ecosystem of its two-year-old Blaze with a host of modern smartwatch capabilities such as a dedicated app store and NFC tap-to-pay transactions, along with Bluetooth and WiFi compatibility. We put Fitbit’s Ionic through its paces to see if its updated software, cust...- Incredible battery life

Fitbit adds some much-needed features to its flagship smartwatch, but is it enough to rival the Apple Watch Series 3?
