After about 6 months of use, here's what I think

October 27, 2017

Color: Charcoal/Smoke Gray

Update 4/28/18
Now that I've had the watch for about 6 months, here are my thoughts on the two features that mattered the most to me, music and GPS:

- Do not buy this watch if you are interested in syncing music. The process is horrible at best. I only attempt to change the music I have on board every month or two because it usually takes me a couple of days of attempts to get about 18 hours worth of music transferred.

- Do buy this watch if you are interested in using the GPS. My experience has shown that it is just as accurate as my Garmin or the GPS on my phone.

Fitbit has updated the firmware on the Ionic so that you can access your music controls and payments while also having an active exercise session going, which has made a very positive difference in the usability.

Notifications - I've disabled them for texts because it is just too annoying to get yet another notification show up and buzz on the watch when I am actively texting with someone. They only worked part of the time, anyway.

Sleep tracking has continued to be anecdotally interesting. It seems to accurately log my sleep and wake times.

Battery life hasn't degraded yet.

Overall, I would not buy this device again because one of the two main features that I bought it for doesn't really work well.
*~*~*~*~*~*~

I've had the Ionic for a little over three weeks, and these are my impressions so far for the features that I use.

I was primarily in the market for a fitness watch, with onboard music storage. The smartwatch features are a bonus, but not specifically what I was looking for. YMMV. Having said that...

I run/walk almost every day with the watch. I've taken the watch hiking, too. I was looking for a device that would allow me to leave my phone at home, and this takes care of that. The GPS is quite accurate, giving consistent, correct results on almost all of my workouts. The workout information uploads to Strava; from there I have downloaded random GPX files and checked them out in other apps, and the distance that the Fitbit gives me is consistent with what I am seeing, most of the time, in the other apps. It is good enough for me, and I am kind of picky when it comes to an accurate GPS in a device.

Only "run" activities are displayed in the Strava app on the Ionic. I do other activities too, it would be nice if they were displayed as well.

The music transfer process is horrible. The fact that it requires a laptop is a huge problem for a lot of people, but thankfully not me. However, even on Windows 10, you still need to take the music you own, put it in either an iTunes or Windows Media Player playlist, start up the Fitbit desktop app, hope, pray and click your heels so that the app and your Ionic find each other and communicate, and then initiate the transfer and wait.. and wait.. It takes forever to transfer music, and I have yet to have it work on the first try. It shouldn't be this difficult. Playback of music is fine; the Ionic never automatically connects to my BT earbuds (Plantronics BackBeat Fit), but it does have them listed as a device I can connect to, so I must manually choose them each time I want to play music.

Once you start an exercise, you cannot leave that exercise to do anything else on the watch without having to end the exercise and then restart it. So, that means no changing your music or skipping tracks while working out. No stopping in the middle of your exercise to buy yourself a snack with the Fitbit wallet, unless you want to stop your activity and start a new one afterward.

Notifications are OK but not great. They work 90% of the time. If you are actively texting with someone, each and every text you receive shows up on the Ionic. It would be great if the Ionic knew that your phone was unlocked and did not give you notifications if you were actively using your phone. In order to clear the notifications, you have to scroll to the bottom of them for the clear all button. That would be better placed at the top of the list. You can swipe right on the individual notifications to clear them.

The heart rate monitor is about what you'd expect for a wrist based HRM. It is somewhat accurate, can't handle the high ranges very well, and just plain cuts out at times and doesn't recover for the remainder of the duration of the exercise. Seems to monitor my resting heart rate well.

The sleep tracking is interesting. It seems to accurately record my fall asleep and wake times. I have no idea of there is any merit in the REM - light sleep - deep sleep metrics. They do seem to reflect how I perceive my sleep for that night to have been.

Installing new clock faces from the app is hit or miss for me. Some crash upon install, some hang, some work just fine. I've reported my issue to the Fitbit community on that one.

Battery life seems pretty good. After a day of use, which includes a 1 hour session of exercise with GPS and music, only about 20% of the battery is used. I think that is acceptable.

The weather app is nice. It works reliably.

The screen is lovely, bright and crisp. A little laggy when swiping, though. I sometimes have to try two or three times to swipe up or down to see notifications or switch screens.

I bought the official Fitbit brand sport band, and I like that too. The blue and yellow looks nice, the ventilation prevents sweat build up on activities, and the blue toned buckle is a nice little touch. I had the Charge 2 previously, and have bought some of the cheap, non-fitbit bands for that, and have had issues with the color rubbing off and whatnot. This Fitbit brand band shows no sign of wear after a couple weeks of nearly 24/7 use.

The device itself isn't petite by any means, but I don't think it looks all that huge on my wrist. Personally, I like the square form factor vs. round. I'm not trying to imitate a round watch, I'm looking for a functional device that has some fitness features and an app or two. To me, it makes sense to have the rectangle screen, instead of trying to make the functionality work on a rounded screen.

I previously had tried the Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro, but because of its poor GPS accuracy, returned it. However, given that I own a Samsung phone, I really liked the integration of the two devices. The Fit2 was like a seamless extension of my phone, which was really nice (probably similar to what iPhone and Apple Watch users experience). I am vaguely considering the Samsung Gear Sport, given that phone integration and the maturity of the platform and available apps.

The Fitbit Ionic really could be a great device, but it feels like the software has never been thoroughly tested. I found a screen in the app that still referred to the device as "Higgs". Those things should never escape out into a released product - this isn't a huge app with countless layers of screens. There should be no crashes when changing watch screens, that's a pretty simple function. I got this device for what it is today; not for what I hope it to be in the future, because you never know if app development for it will gain traction. I feel that for the price of the device, the software driving it should be more solid and they should have had more app options available right from day 1.

Built In GPS - Woot!

October 7, 2017

Color: Charcoal/Smoke GrayVerified Purchase

I bought an Ionic for one reason: GPS. I have been using a Blaze for more than a year and have been overall happy with its performance however, the lack of built in GPS started to frustrate me. I know it sounds like a "first world problem" but having to run with my phone in my pocket to be able to use the connected GPS, has become tedious. I do still have my Blaze and will probably keep it home as my sleep tracker.

The Ionic is only a bit larger than the Blaze so, the size wasn't an adjustment for me as it has been for some. I have a small wrist and don't think it looks too large. It does lie more flat on my wrist and does feel lighter than the Blaze. The band is quite stiff though but perhaps I have to break it in.

The main feature I purchased this for was the GPS. I tried it out and it was accurate (or at least as accurate as my phone was). It takes a bit long to connect though so, I will have to factor that time in before running.

In terms of features, those don't interest me. I'm in the market for a fitness watch, not a smart watch. Just like my Blaze, I turned off notifications.

In terms of battery life, it seems on par with my Blaze. Today is day 4 of owning the Ionic and it is still on the initial charge it came with (with notifications off).

In a nutshell, to me, the Ionic is simply an updated Blaze with built in GPS but if it performs as well as my Blaze has, I'll like it just fine!

Makes a solid first impression

October 3, 2017

Color: Charcoal/Smoke GrayVerified Purchase

Update: So, this is really weird, and definitely cool. My Ionic seems to be able to tell me when I'm sick or just need to slow down. My normal resting heart rate is in the low 50s. Recently, I had a sinus infection and it zoomed up to 62. When I started getting better, it went back down again. Then, I've been having a problem with my knee for a few months now. It's been mostly in the tolerable range. Then, a couple of weeks ago, it got much worse all at once. My Ionic reported my resting heart rate back up to 60. I got a cortisone shot and my doctor told me not to run for 3 days. Even though steroids usually raise my heart rate, it went down 3 BPM overnight. When I started running again, it started climbing again. When I skip a run, it goes back down. MRI tomorrow.

This new fitbit is a bit buggy, but it does what's important at least as well as I would expect. First, a disclaimer, I've owned most of the fitbit models since the first. They have all had bugs. Support never admits there's a bug. I keep buying them. I guess I either don't learn or I like them more than I should. Anyhow, onto the review. So, what's important:

1) Accuracy. Tracking steps on the wrist is hard. Most people don't walk on their hands. And tracking the heart rate with light is hard. So, in terms of accuracy in step counting from a wrist-worn tracker, I temper my expectations. I'm OK if it doesn't count the 3 steps it takes to cross my kitchen and if it does count a few steps when I wash my hands. What's important is that it counts accurately when I'm just walking or running. Believe it or not, some fitbit models have had problems with this - their entire reason for being. So how is the step accuracy? I watched it while I was on the treadmill and it counted one step up for each step I took, perfectly. I didn't watch the whole time, but the total number of steps was what I would expect.

Update - I went for a walk/ run on my treadmill this morning and observed the same level of step accuracy. While both walking and running, I was able to watch the step count increase with every step I took.

And heart rate accuracy? These things tend to be accurate when you're at rest and struggle when you work out, which is when it counts. The ionic showed an unrealistic spike in the first few minutes of my treadmill walk, but then settled down and seemed OK after that. (Update - I observed the same behavior while walking/ running this morning, though the initial spike wasn't quite so high.)

Update - I was so eager to get my review posted, I forgot the entire reason I started buying fitbits - the sleep tracking. I really hated when they took away the manual sleep mode, and I hated it more when they introduced the sleep stages. The latter, especially seemed to be short-changing the amount of sleep I felt I was actually getting.

The ionic was very comfortable to sleep with. This from someone who bought 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and couldn't figure out why I was sleeping on sandpaper. I was actually surprised how accurate the sleep tracking was, compared to earlier fitbits with the sleep stages feature. It wasn't perfect, but I'm satisfied.

2) Looks/ comfort. This thing looks a lot better than I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, it's clearly tech, not fancy jewelry. But it's not horrible looking tech. I'm really glad it's not all black, which would be too Vader-ish. I have tiny wrists and I usually have giant gaps at the sides where the electronics are longer than my wrist is wide. The ionic curves a little, so it's not so pronounced. I also have lots of sensitivities and don't like things that are tight or cling. So far, ionic is pretty comfortable, even though it takes up a lot of real estate on my arm.

3) Ease of use. I like that I can get a clock face that clearly shows the time, with seconds, plus a few important stats. I wish I could change the stats, but at least the most important ones are there. I also like that I can pick the stats that show in workout mode. I wish that you could disable the "quickview" like you could in previous models (update, I'm a doofus, you can disable quickview; I kind of like it though, as long as it doesn't kill the battery too fast), but it was nice in workout mode.

This is also where the bugginess comes in. It took me several tries to remove the workouts I don't use. I removed a couple of apps and they were gone, then they came back (update - phew, they're gone again). When I changed the clock face, it told me it couldn't connect, then it changed it fine. It didn't fully sync until I tried a couple of times. Fitbit will probably actually fix these bugs, though they haven't historically been fans of fixing bugs. Time will tell and I may update this review.

I don't use GPS, because I work out inside. I'm not really interested in having music in my fitbit, because that would require headphones (see sensitivities). And I think Starbucks tastes burnt, so. Update - I kind of love the charger. It's magnetic. I like to charge my fitbit when I shower (yes, I know I could shower with this one, but I like to clean my arm, too). I have a nice, convenient metal surface where I can stick the charger for easy retrieval.
