I love my Fitbit! This is a replacement for an Ionic I thought I lost. But, I found it and now my husband has one. I also teach aqua yoga and aqua aerobics and the Ionic keeps on working.

Watch is attractive - has the features I wanted
Rating: 5
When I plugged it in to charge - it started charging but half way through charging it stopped - it looked like it was dead and I almost returned it. I tried rebooting it by holding the Back button and lower button on the right side until it responded and that did the trick. The setup was simple and easy. The watch is now working without any issues.

Good watch
Rating: 4
Watch works great. I had one since 12/ 25/ 2018, unfortunately it stopped working in March of 2019. I purchased another one because it was so easy to use. I couldn't do without it. I love this watch!

WORST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER
Rating: 1
bought it for my husband's birthday, he's worn it the last 4 months, and twice it has died but it came back to use. It died 2 days ago and now it won't light up at all, not even hooked to charger. I have tried to contact fitbit warranty and Nothing.

Not built to last
Rating: 1
The screen fell off my Ionic a few months after it was out of warranty. I contacted Fitbit and was offered a 25% discount on a new device. Too expensive to fall apart!

Too good to be true
Rating: 1
There is a reason this Fitbit is drastically cheaper than anywhere else... it is a model made for Asian markets and possibly old stock. The battery on a full charge lasts 4-5 hours not the 7 days advertised by Fitbit. I have been working with Fitbit for weeks to get a new one with no luck. I will be returning it to Walmart.

I have been threw 3 fitbit ionic in 18 months do to the fact water has got inside of them. The company will not hold up there word on it about it can be used in the pool. waste of money if you are trying to track swim laps.

Defective Watch
Rating: 1
Received purchase quickly but watch is defective and will be returning. The watch does not turn on and packaging was not for a 'new' watch. We contacted Fitbit to confirm that there was nothing we could do to get the watch running. I recommend Fitbit but not from an unknown third party.

Substantially lower price than All other stores (Amazon, Macys, Kohls, Target, Best Buy) at that time. I liked this watch as I already had one that I bought 2 yrs ago. These were gifts. Short of Apple Garmin makes best smart watches.

Great value, great product!
Rating: 4
Super easy to set up and super easy to use! Would recommend for a first smart watch. I got it for my sister and she loves being able to see how fast she is walking/running. The only issue is the steps are not 100% accurate, it is a little sensitive when in a bouncy car. The touch screen is amazing. I myself have the Fennix 5s and I find it looks similar. I love the metal around the face, makes it look way more expensive than it is. Great value! Get one before they are not available anymore.

it's great but Garmin needs to get it together as far as tech. watch looses downloads and won't connect to app because app is always broken. So if you have a favorite watch screen and their website goes down your watch screen goes away. just FYI

I give it 3 stars as it was not what I personally was looking for. For an average user, this doesn't really log steps correctly. I had some steps log while sitting at my desk. I had very few steps log while mowing my lawn. When I went out for a walk it registered steps almost exactly as I counted. So, I think there are some sensors that have to play together to make this work correctly. I did play with the GPS function and this is where it excelled. It tracked the precise location of my trek. I think this watch is more for a bicycler or runner. I ended up returning it, as I am neither one of those.

Wrist Band Causes Blisters and Keeps Odor
Rating: 2
I started with a Vivofit 3 as a beginner hiker and wanted an upgraded watch that could track sleep, heart rate, workouts, and GPS location. This watch met all the criteria but after wearing it normally as I would with the Vivofit 3, there was this awful odor the band absorbed. The wrist band gave me blistering so I have been switching wrists. After reading the Garmin forums I have been following regime where I rise the band and watch once a week to keep the odor and blistering at bay. Overall, its a great watch but the band needs better product development to avoid the cleaning regime so much.
