Fitbit Ionic

1 watcher

Elsie Too Jan 2019 4:49pm, 14 Jan 2019 2,047 posts	0 Elsie Too Does anyone have a Fitbit Ionic? I got one for christmas specifically because I wanted a watch to track steps and with GPS for running, and that could log swimming. My second time in the pool with it and it has fried. I have to decide if I get a replacement and give it a second chance or if I cut and run now and get a refund and go with a Garmin vivoactive 3 instead. If anyone has any experience with the fitbit ionic, particularly around swimming with it, I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks

Find it OK for running but need reading glasses to see the output so don't pay too much attention to it while I'm actually running.
