Forget about being tethered to your charger every night the Ionic has a battery that won’t let you down after less than a day. When the battery was running low, a timely email reminded me to charge up the watch, rather than my usual method of realising a smartwatch needed a charge about 30 minutes after it had switched off. I got four days out of a single charge of the Ionic, which leaves many smartwatches in its dust. Unlike some other smartwatches, it’s not a case of charging it every night. You can get notifications to your wrist from your phone, but your ability to interact with them is limited.īattery life is one area where the Ionic has a definite edge. The Ionic is still in its early stages as a smartwatch, so it is missing some of the things you may have come to expect if you’ve been using an Apple Watch or similar. As the name suggests, it is a fitness coaching app, offering guided workouts, from a quick ab workout to something a little more taxing.
But the standout app – for now at least – is Fitbit Coach. Just as this review was being written, a major update was pushed out for the Ionic that brought more apps and features such as swappable watch faces. The Wallet app is a nod to increasing popularity of contactless payments, although in Ireland only KBC supports Fitbit's version for now. Speaking of apps, Fitbit comes with a few preinstalled, including timers, weather and a guided relaxation app.
