The editors didn't like
Touchscreen could be more responsive
Pricey
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
On-board music is annoying to setup, Inconsistent performance
The Fitbit Ionic isn't quite the slam dunk product that maybe the brand's fanatics might have hoped it would be. However, it still manages makes a strong case that - despite their wearable roots - Fitbit absolutely have what it takes to compete with the b...

Lack of apps is the biggest killer for the Ionic for me at least. It has promise though, with a more robust app catalogue it's got a bright future as it's quite a smooth device to navigate and use. Fitbit's health and fitness hardware and software are top...

Highly usable fitness tracking capabilities, wonderfully clear display, strong app tracking performance, music playing
Music loading very creaky and slow, app needs work to remove final bugs
The Fitbit Ionic is a real smart watch, and a no-compromise tracker band that's better than Fitbit's previous models, especially in the ability to see what's going on more easily than previously.Tags FitBitFitness bandSmart watchPrevious article Review: B...

Abstract: After years of flailing mediocrity, smartwatches have gotten good enough to be mainstream. Two devices released in the last month, the Apple Watch Series 3 and the Fitbit Ionic, are the best we've seen. Not only are they both very, very good at telling t...

Abstract: All images: Alex Cranz/GizmodoThe "Your Fitbit Ionic is running low on battery" notification arrived on my phone and in my inbox at the same time around one yesterday afternoon, suggesting I take a moment to charge my smartwatch. Instead, I went to a coup...
