Rating
Not many apps
Patchy synchronisation
Poor notification handling
High price
Limited third-party apps
Controversial design
Little bit slow
Limited music offering
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
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
Touchscreen not responsive enough
Expensive
It's not that smart as smartwatches go
Buggy software
Too many TBC features
Design will divide
Inconsistent heart rate
Some problems with smart features syncing (in our Android testing)
It's not that smart as smartwatches go (but good as a fitness tracker)
More expensive in the US
Poor value if paying more
Underwhelming Adidas input
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
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
Lacks a voice assistant like the Apple Watch and Android wear devices have
You can't reply to messages or calls directly from the watch

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...

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...

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...
