Fitbit Ionic Smartwatch Review
For the past year it looks like Fitbit has been trying to be more active in the fitness tracker space even though they practically own it. There has been buzz from competitors here and there, but they seem to have it on lock.
Help Me, Tom's Guide: Which Smartwatch Has the Best Battery Life?
If you're more focused on fitness, Garmin's Vivoactive 3 lasted about three days on a charge during my tests. With a round face, Garmin's new smartwatch is more fashionable than the bulky, square Ionic.
Fitbit Ionic review: The smartwatch for fitness freaks, that goes on and on and on
Fitbit Ionic review: This is the first smartwatch from the company and aims to woo customers who want to add a layer of smartness to their fitness regime.
It's surprising how long it has taken for Fitbit to launch a smartwatch. Focussing on budget or mid range fitness trackers, we finally got the Blaze in 2016 which had a smartwatch like interface but none of the capabilities.

Fitbit Ionic review: Not the smartest smartwatch
Fitbit started out making simple step counters that clipped on your pocket, but over time it added displays, exercise tracking, heart rate monitors, and more. Many of its rivals have changed their focus or simply gone out of business, but Fitbit is fast becoming a household name.- Battery life The Ionic will run for around four days on a charge (Fitbit claims a little longer)
- Either way, it's much better than other smartwatches, Bands The Fitbit band connector is easy to use and allows quick band swaps, Fitness tracking Logs exercise in the Fitbit app, which is excellent for...
- Design It does not look like a smartwatch that costs $300
- Fit is a little strange because of the convex bottom, Display again Small and rectangular with low resolution, Bands again Uses a non-standard connector, and the stock band isn't very comfortable.
A gigantic first step towards the smartwatch market from Fitbit, but is also plagued with some issues and missing features.
- Looks
- New functions are great
- Built-in storage for music
- Very finicky step counter
- Prevailing Bluetooth issues
For as long as it could, Fitbit tried to avoid using the word 'smartwatch'. Even when it introduced the Blaze two years ago, which was more or less a smartwatch in terms of its shape and features, Fitbit declined to call it that.
- Superb battery life
- Built-in GPS works great
- Light
- Waterproof
- can track swims
- Fitbit OS is easy to use
- Lack of third-party apps
- Can't reply to notifications
- Proprietary charging cable
Fitbit Ionic Smart Fitness Watch Blue and Burnt Orange IONIC review
Testing the Ionic after the Versa only serves to reveal its shortcomings. It’s not a bad watch, even if my conclusions might indicate that. It’s a regular watch, with pretty good tracking features (with a couple of exceptions), and a hefty price.- The size of the watch is a feature that people will either like or hate
- For the most part, the big size of the Ionic gives users a sense of sturdiness, which is a good thing
- Also, it’s not a bad looking device, no matter what people are saying.
- While I was saying that the increased size does have some advantages, it also means that it’s sometimes cumbersome
- For example, wearing it during sleep is a problem
- You never quite forget you have it on
- A big problem with the Ionic is the synchronization function with the smartphone.
Fitbit Ionic Adidas Edition Review: Should You Pay More For Branding
It's hard to recommend the Fitbit Ionic Adidas Edition over the regular version since there's not really a big difference when it comes to overall function. Yes, you do get ballin' limited edition watch straps and that watch face, but it's not really worth paying Php 2K more for that alone.
