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: All images: Alex Cranz/GizmodoAfter months of leaks and hints, Fibit has finally revealed its newest wrist wearable: The $US300 ($379) Fitbit Ionic. Fitbit claims up to four days of battery life, a refined OS that pairs nicely with devices running iOS...
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...
Superb battery life, Built-in GPS works great, Light, Waterproof, can track swims, Fitbit OS is easy to use
Lack of third-party apps, Can't reply to notifications, Proprietary charging cable,
The Fitbit Ionic is a solid first effort from Fitbit in the smartwatch segment; one that brings together a fantastic display, a stylish design, in-built GPS, waterproofing, and superb battery life in as light a package as possible. The battery lasts for o...
Comfortable fit, Sleep tracker, 5 day battery life
The Fitbit Ionic has its fair share of pros and cons. It's comfortable to wear and boasts of an excellent battery life. However, the display's touchscreen could've been better. The sleep tracker, the Coach feature and the heart-rate monitor work seamlessl...
The Fitbit Ionic is a mediocre smartwatch and an excellent fitness tracker. That's not too surprising given the company's pedigree. The Ionic represents an excellent improvement over the Charge 2 and the Surge but falls short of expectations. Its a great...
Fitbit Ionic is a good upgrade for those who have been using other Fitbit for a while. However, for others, given that the price is very similar to older Apple Watches, the Ionic might appear a bit underwhelming. But then not everyone is on the Apple ecos...
Superb design, Great battery life, Flawless fitness, Sleep tracking
Limited features, Expensive, Not very smart
The Ionic is definitely a pricey gadget with price of Rs 22,990. So, I don't recommend it unequivocally. But if you need top notch fitness tracking, do go for it. I particularly like its design, and how well it tracks steps and sleep. And I absolutely lov...
The Ionic is Fitbit's best all-round tracker so far.The trouble is, it's a $380 fitness tracker with some smartwatch scaffolding around it.That is way too expensive for what it currently offers. Many of its best features (the sleep tracking, SmartTrack, h...
Looks, New functions are great, Builtin storage for music
Very finicky step counter, Prevailing Bluetooth issues
A gigantic first step towards the smartwatch market from Fitbit, but is also plagued with some issues and missing features.(previously published in issue March)...

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 mean...
