The editors didn't like
Half-baked smartwatch features
Managing music is a nightmare
Very big if you have small wrists
It does not look like a smartwatch that costs $300. Fit is a little strange because of the convex bottom
Small and rectangular with low resolution
Uses a nonstandard connector
And the stock band isn't very comfortable. The buckle also does not lay flat
Buggy sync process
Lack of apps
No workout audio cues
Music interfacing is flaky
Functionality as a smartwatch is severely limited
Nonexercise apps don't really do much
As pricey as an Apple Watch
Limited 3rd party support
Fitbit Pay not yet active in UK
Slow interface
Needs more third-party apps
Loading music is cumbersome
Notifications can't be interacted with

Offers underwhelming features compared to the original Ionic
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

The Fitbit Ionic has all the features we've been wanting in a Fitbit for years, but it ultimately feels less than the sum of its parts...

Abstract: After years of flailing mediocrity, smartwatches have gotten good enough to be mainstream. Two devices released in the last month, the Apple Watch Series 3 and the Fitbit Ionic, are the best we've seen. Not only are they both very, very good at telling t...

Abstract: All images: Alex Cranz/GizmodoThe "Your Fitbit Ionic is running low on battery" notification arrived on my phone and in my inbox at the same time around one yesterday afternoon, suggesting I take a moment to charge my smartwatch. Instead, I went to a coup...

On-board music is annoying to setup, Inconsistent performance
The Fitbit Ionic isn't quite the slam dunk product that maybe the brand's fanatics might have hoped it would be. However, it still manages makes a strong case that - despite their wearable roots - Fitbit absolutely have what it takes to compete with the b...
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...

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...
