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.

Motorola Moto 360 Sport Smartwatch – – Five Stars

The moto 360 sport is my first smart watch which i have used daily for two weeks. I had pre ordered with amazon and had a great deal with the usual high standard of posting. My main reasoning for getting this was to be able to run and listen to music without a need of a phone. As noted by another review, when i first went running the music skipped continually and the gps distance was out by nearly a km. Not the best start for my wants. Conversely, during this time i found the weight and look if he watch more and more appealing. Some of the gimmicks such as heart rate,messages,emails,what’s app and steps app being shown was beneficial. The strongest benefit being the ingenuis idea of when charging the phone it becames a sidebed clock. Unknowingly i had began to rely on the watch day to day when i had only purchased it for weekly running. After 10 days i began to have an intermittent message stating moto body had to be stopped. I was entranced by the thought of being able to tell my wa...
