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

Abstract: Fitbit has a full-fledged smartwatch. But can it compete with Apple Watch?Squared-off, metal, a slightly curved screen. The Fitbit Ionic looks sharp on my wrist. It also looks like an Apple Watch. Or, close enough to one that most people might confuse it...
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...

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...

Battery Life,
The Fitbit Ionic is a fantastic device that truly lives up to its fitbit predecessors. This device is capable of reading the majority of heart rate data during running, swimming, and resting moments. When it comes time to look at the data, the fitbit app...

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...
The Fitbit Ionic is far from the perfect smartwatch for me, but Fitbit's trajectory in wearables is encouraging. Software updates have made the Ionic more reliable and capable without negatively impacting battery life. It has best-in-class fitness trackin...
