Worst watch I ever bought.

published

I bought this watch after watching hundreds of reviews. I was completely disappointed. It worked a couple of months and then it will not hold its charge. This is the second Fitbit I bought. Lasted me couple of months and it failed. Same thing happened to my sons Fitbit. I bought it from ABT and they were nice enough to exchange for a Apple Watch.

Does the job

published

Watch works well. Did have some charging issues soon after purchase, but of late its been ok. If I had known they were bringing out a more attractive watch with a smaller face I would have waited. This watch is pretty large on my small wrist. I only use a few of its functions and I'm happy with those. Love the alarm. It buzzes quietly on the wrist, not waking my partner. All in all, I'm happy with the watch.

Loving this

published

Always dreaming for Apple Watch but want something doesn’t have to charge everyday and this one is perfect with music and all and loving it. Love the style and color perfect for me and it’s my fave color. Automatically recognised the things your doing like running or walking base on heart beat.

lies ! No SpO2 as promised !

published

I feel like I have been ripped off. Fitbit Ionic at launch said this watch I paid $400 for would have SpO2 capabilities, instead those sensors sit there doing nothing. Its false advertising and ill never be buying another fitbit again, not to mention the rash I got from their band and I followed the cleaning instructions.

Great watch

published

Fitbit Ionic works fine for me. Only thing is it doesnt sync wireless with my iphone - needs to be synced via bluetooth. Great watch & love the features like GPS tracking, waterproof etc. It can be used for lap swimming & the deive will track swimming data which is amazing.

Husband loves it!!

published

My husband has many many watches, so when I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and was told another watch, thats exactly what I thought this was!! however he loves it. It does everything he needs and wants it to do. Easy set up and easy to follow and use. Yes he still has his other watches but the fitbit wins everytime.

My new favourite device

published

Looks: a bit chunky
Functionality: Very good, large face making reading easy, many different watch faces to choose from, also stores music which was an unexpected feature. Waterproof.
Battery life: EXCELLENT! This was a major deciding factor for me. I travel a lot and don't need yet another thing to charge every night. I don't have continuous Sync running, and get over 6 days use each charge.
Watch band: loses points here - it's fiddly.
Setup: again loses points as getting notifications proved tricky, some PIN issues, so not as seamless as it could be. Overall I highly recommend.

Fitbit Unfit.

published

Good. Water resistant. Silent alarm.
Bad. Won't stay connected to the phone, thus no notifications. Third time was not lucky, have had two Blaze fitbits, one broke and both had the same connection problems. This is definitely the last fitbit I'll purchase I'm sad to say.
Hopefully the connection issues will be worked out, they also require a more durable screen. All three of mine have cracked.

Good Option

published

This watch/wearable is functional without being spectacular, have had it for 6 months now and is working well apart from a few syncing issues. The good thing is when I have dealt with Fitbit on the phone or via the web they have been great to deal with and have fixed any small issues.

As with anything tech it has already been replaced with better versions from other manufacturers but still a great option.
The screen does seem to scratch fairly easily but when you wear it 24/7 it is to be expected.

Being used to using Garmin this has been a seamless transition.

So great for exercise regime

published

Bought my husband the fitbit ionic - he loves it. He loves that it does his pulse and resting heartbeat everyday and can look back on past workouts. He likes how can view calories burned. His favourite function of watch is the VO2 Max where he can check his fitness level against other men his age. The charge life lasts 5 days which he finds very impressive.

so far so good

published

I had upgraded fitbit surge to Ionic and it was best decision. better battery reliability and you can wash it so no more stinky smell love it
There are some synchronization issues which are now rectified thanks to fitbit updates looking. Finally music control with Bluetooth is not very friendly at all

Does the job

published

Fitbit ionic does the job a little chucky on the wrist but does what’s it suppose to do. Battery life okay but a little annoying that you need to recharge every 3 days. Steps may not be as accurate as it depends on the stride of your arms but other than that make sure you have it place correctly on the wrist for it to work

Questions & Answers

Mario

Marioasked

This isnt a question, but I would like to offer a solution to those who are having trouble with syncing issues.
I was starting to recently get issues syncing, eg. "looking for device" or "device not found" and could not get sleep data for the last 2 nights.
On the phone, go to: Settings - Apps - Fitbit - Storage - Clear cache
then all of a sudden the sleep data appeared from the last 2 nights when I got back into the Fitbit App.

As a side note, I am disappointed that the phone is not smart enough to turn off the auto-on feature while sleeping. So I turned it off and never use the feature anymore. The benefit is that it now saves a significant amount of battery as it no-longer unnecessarily or accidentally turns on with each wrist movement.

Has anyone had any experience with synching the Fitbit ionic and an oppo r9s. Are there any issues with this?

I use the Ionic with a Galaxy S8. Synching can take up to 3 tries to get the sleep data. However, I just tried this: Putting the phone over the watch, give the app screen one long drag down before release, and it all synched, including sleep data, in 1 go.
