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.

works as advertised, but a bit expensive
I have been impressed with this watch. It has done everything it is supposed to do perfectly for me. I have especially enjoyed the built in GPS for walking, running, and cycling. It does a great job, quick to connect and data appears accurate.

Cons:

Fitbit Ionic long-term review: daft software mars excellent fitness tracking
The Fitbit Ionic is an admirable first attempt to rival the likes of Apple, Google and Samsung on the fitness tracker-cum-smartwatch front, but it's definitely much further from the latter. Its software lacks the polish its physical design shows, and app support is sparse at present.

Watch has worked great. I love the features and I'm looking forward to coming additional features. Battery life is good, lasts about 5 days. I give this watch 5 thumbs up.

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.
Pros:
- 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...
Cons:
- 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.

Fitbit's first true smart watch is a a success and generally lays the ground work for plenty of improvements to come - both in firmware and future models.

Fitbit Ionic review
The Fitbit Ionic is a good wearable, but it's not the great smartwatch some had expected it to be. There are lots of positives, including strong battery life, Fitbit Pay and built-in GPS, but there's also a lot missing, and that leaves this device feeling more like a fitness tracker, rather than a...
Pros:
- Fitbit Pay works well
- Great fitness features
- Solid battery life
Cons:
- Controversial design
- Little bit slow
- Limited music offering
