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.

Great Watch
Rating: 5
The new samsung watch is awesome. A great improvement of the first edition I had which worked great until after 2 1/2 years which didn't stay charged for over 4 hrs. Any how, the new watch works like it should and has the features I like. I would get it again.

Free floors
Rating: 3
The first couple of months this watch was great, but for some reason after a software update the floors climbed started going up (even when the watch is in the cradle charging).. I would get 2-300 floors in a day without actually going up a single flight of stairs.. apparently this is an ongoing problem since it still to this day (2 years later) has not been fixed.. (you can even see in the image I added.. 39 floors today.. haven't gone up a single flight of stairs)

Great watch, but...
Rating: 3
i like the watch, but it really gripes me when they do updates that wipe out all my settings! especially when i have to re-validate samsung pay accounts. plus i can't find the watch faces that i previously purchased! i'm not going to make the mistake of purchasing any more of the watch faces. and i spent over three hours today trying to get everything set up again.

great smartwatch, not so great fitness watch
Rating: 2
I so wanted to love this watch. The display is amazing, the apps work seemlessly, and email and notifications come right through and easy to read. Even taking a call is easy and others say they can't tell I am talking on a watch. Well, that is where the accolades end. Those are the reasons I gave it 2 stars because it was perfect in all those areas, just don't buy it for a fitness watch. Step counting is horrible. I get up and walk the copier and back = 0 steps. I am averaging about 3000 steps less than fitbit or garmin PER DAY. Also, when I take my runs or walks about 50% of the time the heart rate stops recording all together. Yes I know how to wear the watch as I have owned several garmins and suunto watches in the past. Looking online this is a common problem. Really thought this was going to be my go to watch. Photo enclosed showing how the heart rate just stops in workouts. Had problems with both the samsung app and trying to use map my run. Both had the same issues. I'll be taking mine back!
