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 Ionic is Fitbit's strongest smartwatch yet, despite a few annoyances such as the inability to view past workouts on the watch itself and it's rather basic handling of notifications. Whether it can sway potential customers away from the latest Apple Wa...
Incredible battery life, Automatic workout tracking is a nice addition, Waterproof up to 50 meters, Great interchangeable bands, Stores up to 300 songs
App offerings leave a bit to be desired, Lacks the ability to respond to text messages/emails, Not as full-featured as other smartwatches on the market
Fitness fanatics should absolutely buy Fitbit's Ionic. Featuring an impressive suite of fitness tracking capabilities — such as auto-tracking of runs, swim tracking via its waterproof design, custom workouts, and multi-sport compatibility — there's no bet...
We're really pleased to see a smartwatch made by Fitbit. While it's expensive for a fitness tracker, it does pack in a lot of high-end features that will appeal to a wide range of people, from hardcore fitness fanatics to the more casual gym-goers.While t...
Four day battery life, Solid sports tracking, Guided workouts, Fitbit Pay works
Buggy software, Too many TBC features, Design will divide, Inconsistent heart rate
There's a lot that we really like about Fitbit's first smartwatch, but ultimately the software niggles make it difficult to put it in the same bracket as the Apple Watch, the best that Android Wear has to offer and Samsung's Gear smartwatches right now. W...
We're really pleased to see a proper smartwatch made by Fitbit. We're a bit surprised by the price tag when you consider its rivals, but it does pack in a lot of features that will appeal to a wide range of people, from hardcore fitness fanatics to the mo...

Slick, beautifully designed, Dynamic fitness features
High price, Limited third-party apps
It has been a long time coming, but the Fitbit Ionic looks to be the best wearable the company has ever created, combining all the best elements of a smartwatch with easy to use Fitbit fitness features. Android Wear and the Apple Watch better watch out...
I came away very excited for the Fitbit Ionic. There's real potential for a great phone-free experience for fitness enthusiasts with all the sensors you could want alongside music storage. The design and comfort were two aspects I liked and the screen loo...

Bold design, Excellent sleep tracking, GPS and heart-rate tracking work well, Strong battery life
Virtually no third party apps yet, Fitbit Coach not available till later in 2017, Fitbit Pay not ready in the UK yet, Expensive for what it can currently do
Honestly, I'm surprised it took Fitbit so long to make a proper smartwatch. Now it's here, the Ionic feels as though it delivers almost everything that you'd expect from it. Aside from a plentiful roster of apps and music streaming support. In the the me...
