Whereas Ionic was the first Fitbit device to benefit from the acquisition of Pebble, it’s Versa that is the true heir to that throne. So you should get the Ionic, right? Well. The Ionic also has unique on-wrist coaching that guides you through workouts with videos on the screen and sleep tracking and analysis (an advantage of not needing to charge each night). It’s water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about it getting soaked, and it’s got a robust five-day battery. That means you don’t have to be tethered to your phone when you go out for a run. Not only does it have the standard fitness tracking you would expect, but it also has built-in GPS. The Ionic is the most powerful device in Fitbit’s stable. From Star Trek watch faces to calculator apps, the Ionic is now at least as interesting as the Pebble it replaced. The result has been to elevate the Ionic from a smartwatch fitness tracker and turn it into a pretty fun device in its own right. Pebble engineers were brought onboard at Fitbit to design an app store for smart devices like they had for Pebble. The Fitbit Ionic is the delivery of that promise. Back when Fitbit bought my favorite up-and-coming wearable tech company, Pebble, fans of the smartwatch were assured that we’d be seeing Pebble again-or at least the tech that drove it.
