Fitbit Ionic Health & Fitness Smartwatch : A step forward, but a £300 step forward?

This is my third try to find a smartwatch tracking fitness as well and i am happy. The garmin vivoactive was expensive and looked sooooooo very cheap i returned it straight away. The fitbit versa has a strange shape and always moved on my wrist. Looking so much better than on pics online, great screen with radiant colours, much better, stronger glass screen, watch straps can be replaced without tool in the blink of an eye. Gps locks in slowly first time but whenever you connect at the same place it is fast. The heart rate can be way off but this is due to wearing the watch at the wrist bone and not above. App store has few apps, but that ll come over time, rome wasn t built in one day either:-) i do not pay with phone or watch so haven t tried this. The only con is: if you have a chromebook you cannot download music from chromebook to watch, the only way yet to get music on the watch is via deezer for me.

My previous experience with a fitbit was the surge and although overall a great watch, it suffered from some character flaws (mainly battery life and lack of ability to sync). So far the ionic comes with slightly mixed feelings, cracking watch, but. . Watch quality, fitting of the price tag it is a good quality product, the optional straps, screen protectors and accessories make this perfect for all parts of everyday life. Screen, very clear with easy to use functions, it only took me a couple of minutes to get the hang of it, the different colours are nice and clear. Counters, once again fitbit have done well with the standard function of the watch, another step up from the blaze. Applications, by far the best part of this watch and the main reason it is so close to a traditional smart watch. There are quite a few apps to look through with talk of more on the way (wish the weather was in degrees celsius and the watch measured miles at the same time, i don’t do km)sports tracking, the gps worked straight away for running, workouts are well tracked and everything can be analysed through the fitbit app. Music, one of the big selling points for me and the reason i bought it, i even bought some bluetooth headphones in preparation. So far i am of mixed thoughts with what an utter let down at the start to eventually just happy with the feature.

I have had many smart watches and fitness trackers. They all seem good at launch but when you have them for a few months their niggles begin to show. With my lg it didn’t have gps. With my garmin it wasn’t good enough to swim in and died. So i turned to fitbit after my wife loved her charge hr. It says unisex but it’s quite large and probably more suitable for male arms/wrists. The band is comfortable and easily replaceable without tools. Comfort:i wear mine all day and night and only remove it to charge it (takes about an hour). I get approx 3-4 days out of it.

Vodafone V-Kids Watch – Good idea, poor execution

Son loves his new smart watch. Well made, location accuracy not always the best but my iphone xs max is sometimes off too. The general location coupled with voice notification should be enough if we needed to local our son. Worthy purchase if you can buy it on offer like i did. Not to sure it’s worth the full rrp. Setup isn’t straightforward so be prepared to spend sometime setting it up. Once the product is all set up it really is a good piece of kit, it takes little time to go through the process with the vodafone sim but it is worth doing. It is easy to voice message and gives me peace of mind with the sos function built in, the games are a good feature to keep the little one entertained. The gps tracking works well with the vodafone signal and no problems so far. Love this, it’s a brilliant well designed product but the battery life is very disappointing. Esta muy bien, yo se lo he comprado a mis hijos y es casi exactoen la posición aunque podrian mejorar la interface e incluso ...

INIUPO Kids Smartwatch : A++++++

My 6 year old son loves this watch. Charging and adding music is so simple. The battery holds its charge brilliantly for days. The option to add 10 contacts is great as well. The strap is very soft and comfortable to wear. I bought the gifgaf 2g sim card and it works perfectly. Nought for my son and he absolutely like it. The strap is soft and the screen is very clear. Battery life is good but he keeps fiddling with watch so it drains the battery a bit early. Apart from that, happy with the purchase.
