The Fitbit Ionic offers a comfortable design, with 50-meter water resistance for swimming, GPS and mobile payments. You only need to recharge it once or twice a week
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
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...

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...

Great design with beautiful colour display, Waterproof, GPS, Excellent platform, Continuous heart-rate monitoring, Automatic exercise recognition, Multi-sport tracking, Comfortable, Decent battery life
Touchscreen not responsive enough, Expensive, It's not that smart as smartwatches go
The Fitbit Ionic not only brings a solid, lightweight design with a beautiful screen, it also adds built-in GPS and dedicated swim functionality that the earlier Blaze was lacking. Compared to the newer Versa, it also offers GPS for that more complete exp...
Abstract: If you're sick and tired of reaching into your pocket for your smartphone every time someone sends you a messange on WhatsApp, you might find the convenience of a smartwatch – which delivers notifications straight to your wrist over a Bluetooth connection...
Fitbit's app remains excellent, Good wrist cardio tracking, Good battery life for a smartwatch

Better strap, Guided workouts, Still a good sport watch
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...

Abstract: Do a search for Fitbit on Amazon, and you’re presented with a huge amount of choice. Even if you discount all the skins and third-party trackers piggybacking off the brand name, there are no less than 11 Fitbits vying for attention. How do you pick betwe...
