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
Abstract: Fitness trackers, which are also called activity trackers, activity monitors or fitness bands, are like high-tech pedometers that can count your steps and then estimate the distance you've travelled and the calories you've burned. The biggest activity b...
Abstract: Do a search for Fitbit on Amazon, and you’re presented with a huge amount of choice. Even if you discount all the skins and third-party trackers piggybacking off the brand name, there are no less than 11 Fitbits vying for attention. How do you pick betwe...

Great fitness features, Solid battery life
Controversial design, Little bit slow, Limited music offering
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 and built-in GPS, but there's also a lot missing, and that leaves this device feeling more like a...
Abstract: You've likely noticed that Fitbit has launched its proper smartwatch, the Ionic, and that Samsung has also got new Gear wearables. Well both are in our chart. We've rounded up some of the smartest watches to potentially grace your arm in 2017, but includ...
The watch has workouts loaded on to it; not only does it give you a plan of what exercises to do and how long for, you can watch a video of how to perform the exercise and it'll vibrate when it's time to start the next one, Builtin GPS means you can see e

Fitness fanatics will love the Fitbit Ionic as it's accurate and easy to use, but those seeking the more traditional features of a smart watch may find themselves a little bit disappointed...

Great design with beautiful colour display, waterproof, built-in GPS, excellent platform, continuous heart-rate monitoring, automatic exercise recognition, multi-sport tracking, comfortable, decent battery life
Touchscreen not responsive enough, expensive, some problems with smart features syncing (in our Android testing), it's not that smart as smartwatches go (but good as a fitness tracker)
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.With a new and improved heart-rate monitor, smart notifications, future pay...

Great design with beautiful colour display, continuous heart-rate monitoring, added waterproofing, built-in GPS, multi-sport tracking, comfortable, decent battery life
Touchscreen could be more responsive, pricey, Rating:
If you're looking for a wearable to track your health though, the Ionic is a great addition to any workout. Saying that, the Apple Watch starts at only £329, so for £30 more you're going to get a much slicker bit of kit. That's if you're an iPhone owner...
