Fitbit Ionic review: Bridging the gap between fitness tracker and smartwatch

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.

Love it!!!

I have been a Fitbit user for 3 years and I love the products. The Fitbit Ionic is the best. It was easy to set up. My favorite feature is being able to see my texts and listening to the music app. Awesome!!

Great for cycling

Bought this for the spouse as we cycle. The spouse uses it for keeping track of calories and steps as well. Easy to setup, durable as well. It doesn't get 5 stars due that initially the band would just detach. Finally figured out you better use the right size band or it will not stay together.

Took multiple attempts to pair with my android phone and then nearly an hour to update its software. Then drove 15 minutes and it registered 350+ steps whilst driving. Then wore it to bed to monitor sleep pattern and it refused to pair with my phone until both watch and my phone were restarted...

No longer a Fitbit customer

After 1 year and 8 months, it stopped working. I tried all the recommended troubleshooting fixes to no avail. When I contacted customer support, we repeated all the steps again with the same result - nothing. They determined it was defective and out of warranty and would not fix or replace it.

EASY TO USE

I like the big screen and that all the relevant info is on my wrist.

Fitbit Iconic - satisfied buyer

The Fitbit Ionic, looks great and works as it should. Bought this as a gift and my partner loves it, the Ionic has more functions than he expected - very happy with this product. Ordering and collection process through Myer's online service and in-store pick-up was great.

Fitbit Ionic Smart Fitness Watch Blue and Burnt Orange IONIC review

Fitbit’s first smartwatch is good, but at this price it's not exactly going to have Apple Watches and high-end Garmins quaking in their running pumps.

Fitbit Ionic Review

The Fitbit Ionic is an ambitious and promising smartwatch with a focus on fitness and accurate tracking, but its success will depend on the growth of its app ecosystem. Ever since Fitbit bought Pebble last year, the question wasn't if the company was going to release a smartwatch, but when. The answer is finally here, in the form of the $299.95 Fitbit Ionic. It's a smartwatch-fitness tracker hybrid with an open SDK, superb battery life, and NFC payments, making it more of a competitor to the Apple Watch than Fitbit's other, more fitness-centric devices. You won't find standalone cellular connectivity like you get in the new Apple Watch, and a lot is riding on how well Fitbit builds out its app ecosystem over time. But if you're looking for a smartwatch that puts fitness first, the Ionic deserves a spot on your short list. A Familiar Face At a glance, the Ionic looks like a cross between the Apple Watch Series 3 and the Fitbit Blaze, thanks to a rectangular touch LCD that stands out from many of the circular smartwatches on the market. The screen measures 1.2 by 0.85 inches (HW), about 1.5 inches diagonally, and features a resolution of 348 by 25...

Fitbit is off to a great smartwatch start with their Ionic... even though it's more fitness than smartwatch!
