I also found that the erratic sleep data the Ionic provided was pretty accurate to my all-over-the-place sleep patterns. I’m not a triathlete, so I can’t speak to the 50m water-resistance of the watch (another big advantage over the Surge) except to say that it held up against my extreme sweat output and post-ride showers. As a runner and cyclist, I appreciate having just one piece of gear for all my tracking-and though wrist-based heart rate monitors have taken some heat for their inaccuracies, I’ve found the overall trend of that data gives me a good sense of how hard I’m pushing myself. The Fitbit app is actually one of my favorite thing about the brand’s watches a clean display makes it easy to set up and fun to keep your rides, steps, and sleep in one place. The Fitbit app will construct maps of your ride and ride data with all the relevant metrics, but also syncs easily with Strava for more ride analysis and a heart-rate Suffer Score. The cycling GPS distance and speed on the Ionic matched accurately to my Wahoo GPS computer, and includes a customizable stat display, so you can monitor the time, distance, heart rate, speed, average speed, calories burned, and more on the screen while you’re riding (if the watch is in battery-saving mode, a quick twist of your wrist will bring the display to life). RELATED: Ridden and Reviewed: The Fitbit Surge (If you're looking to get one yourself, you can get it here at Fitbit's online shop.) That’s pretty solid, as far as the smart watches I’ve tested. When not in GPS mode, the watch stays in action for four or five days before gently nudging you via notification that it’s in need of a recharge. So I took to my bike-and to my running shoes, to my hiking boots, and even to my bed (because sleep mode, natch)-to put the new watch to the test.įirst, the good: The new Ionic packs a stellar battery life-up to 10 hours in GPS mode-which is a huge level up from the Surge (five hours in GPS), and critical if you’re using it to track a hilly century ride. As a clear successor to the Surge, the Ionic had the opportunity to fix most of its predecessor’s shortcomings. That’s why the release of the Fitbit Ionic with on-board GPS, a wrist-based heart rate meter, and a touchscreen came as such welcome news.
