Touchscreen could be more responsive

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

Works very well as a fitness tracker, Loaded with features, Tons of options for clock faces, Good battery life
Needs more third-party apps, Loading music is cumbersome, Notifications can't be interacted with, Photos by Raj Rout, Facebook Comments, ShareTweet
To sum it up, the Ionic seems to be a mixed bag as things stand currently. While its smartwatch features aren't too exciting, it shines in other aspects like the choice of clock faces available, fitness-tracking capabilities, and battery life. The kind of...

Comfortable fit, Water resistant, Support for GPS, Great battery life,
Slow interface,
the Fitbit Ionic fulfills the best of what it can deliver as a fitness tracker. The smartwatch aspect however could use some improvement. It's not the best, but if more apps support the platform, the Fitbit Ionic could gain a lot of fans.We Love:Comforta...

Abstract: The Ionic is Fitbit's latest smart device release and it includes all the features you'd expect with a fitness tracker like GPS, a heart rate monitor called PUREPULSE®, and sleep tracking. Additionally, there is onboard storage for 300+ songs and download...
While the Ionic shows plenty of promise, it has plenty to improve on before it can claim an award. With limited app compatibility and a sparse set of smart functions, it feels much more like a fitness tracker than a true smartwatch...
The Ionic will run for around four days on a charge (Fitbit claims a little longer). Either way, it's much better than other smartwatches, The Fitbit band connector is easy to use and allows quick band swaps, Logs exercise in the Fitbit app, which is exce
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
For a smartwatch to be useful to me, I want it to have fitness tracking, media controls, notification management, and voice input. On that first count, the Ionic is capable. It tracks steps and heart rate accurately, and you can log exercises. However, th...
Interchangeable straps make it great for the office and gym, Touchscreen is easy to read outdoors, Great overall fitness tracker, Sleep tracking is detailed and helpful, 2.5 GB of storage for music, 5 ATM water resistance, Fitbit mobile app is intuitive a
Design is clunky, Can't interact with notifications, Fitbit OS is laggy
This is the best Fitbit you can buy, period. It's an incredible fitness and sleep tracker, comes with a built-in GPS, allows you to pay for things from your wrist, and it's water resistant. If you don't care about smartwatch features and are looking for a...
The more we wear a device like the Fitbit Ionic, the less reliant we are on a platform like Android Wear. But, that's not to say it's perfect and does everything right. It's not as customizable as what you'd get in a more formal smartwatch and there are v...
