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.

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.

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 buy
Rating: 5
This was a good purchase. I can track my movement, various exercises, and meal consumption to see if I'm on target. The price was reasonable and I'm impressed so far.

Big qitch for people with big wrists
Rating: 5
Had a hard time finding this instore so I ordered it online instead. It has a very large band for thise with big wrists. Yes there are many more watch faces for this watch, as it is a digital display.

Best gift to myself
Rating: 5
Wonderful device. My hearing isn't so great anymore, so the vibration on my wrist for an incoming call is welcomed. But that's not all - this watch is simply perfect. I love the large size, the bezel and the overall look. It's vintage in style and I love that. I bought a set of bumpers to protect all the way around and a bezel ring that has nice slightly raised knobs to make the bezel easier to turn while the bumper is on. You can't even tell I have a bumper on! I am in the process of buying more of the thinner leather bands for it, too, because those are the most comfortable for me. The watch works smoothly and accurately and the choices for personalized apps and watch faces make choosing fun. I originally wanted the LTE version, but the price on this one was absolutely stunning ($90 cheaper than anywhere else) that I bought it and haven't regretted the decision.

My husband loves this watch! He is not what you would call a technology savant, but he likes the features and has started to walk more due to the tracker

Great Watch, just wish there were more apps for it. Comfortable to wear. Used in pool and it hasn't affected it.

Questionable value
Rating: 2
I had high hopes for the Galaxy Watch but was very disappointed. Some built-in apps don't work or don't work well. Samsung Health is very unreliable....it refuses to count floors and step count is not accurate. These are known issues which Samsung apparently is not dealing with. Suggest you stay with your FitBit for health tracking. Samsung Pay on the watch is unreliable (unlike Samsung Pay on my phone which is great).....it worked only once after some effort. Apps such as weather don't auto refresh and even won't manually refresh consistently...it took 2 days and multiple manual refresh requests before it got current. Bing would open on voice command but would not recognize any voice command....wouldn't respond at all. WiFi and Bluetooth connections had trouble refreshing even with manual requests. I'm returning the watch.
