Fitbit Ionic review (updated): Buy the Versa instead, unless you really need GPS

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

Fitbit Ionic has a better-than-most-smartwatches four-day battery life, while still having always-on heart rate and a comfy fit. It has features galore: waterproofing, GPS and on-wrist mobile payments, plus new watch faces and a growing app store. It...

Wrist payments don't work with as many banks as Apple Pay and Android Pay. On-wrist music is hard to set up and use. Software and apps sometimes feel buggy.

Fitbit’s fitness smartwatch has gotten better with an infusion of watch faces and apps, but some of its extra-smart features still aren't as polished as the competition.

: The Fitbit Ionic is an admirable first attempt to rival the likes of Apple, Google and Samsung on the fitness tracker-cum-smartwatch front, but it’s definitely much further from the latter. Its software lacks the polish its physical design shows, and...

Comfortable design that sports a pretty thin profile. ; Stellar battery life that pushes well into a fourth day. ; Advanced sensors and software deftly track your movements.

Functionality as a smartwatch is severely limited. ; Non-exercise apps don't really do much.

Fitbit's new Ionic smartwatch is a smart fitness tracker but lacks intelligence as a smartwatch.

Praktisch jeder Anbieter von entweder Sportartikeln oder Unterhaltungselektronik hat inzwischen auch einen Fitness-Tracker im Angebot. Die einzelnen Produkte unterscheiden sich dabei stark – und das nicht nur im Design. Der Fitbit Ionic unterscheidet...

Autonomie de quatre jours supérieure à celle de la plupart des montres connectées tout en proposant un suivi permanent du rythme cardiaque, confortable à porter, étanche, GPS, de nouveaux cadrans, un app store mieux fourni, compatible Android et iOS,...

La fonction paiement sans contact Fitbit Pay pas encore disponible en France, la lecture de musique compliquée à utiliser, quelques bugs de fonctionnement

D’un côté, la montre connectée de fitness Ionic de Fitbit a progressé grâce à l’ajout de cadrans et d’applications. Mais de l’autre, certaines de ses fonctions ne sont pas aussi abouties que celles de la concurrence.

Bra skärm. ; Lysande batteritid. ; Bra träningsfunktioner.

Inte lika bra som smartklocka. ; Litet apputbud. ; Lite svårnavigerad.

Ionic är bäst som en avancerad träningsklocka. Träningsfunktionerna är bra, men Apple Watch är fortfarande en smartare smartklocka för Iphone-användare.
