Fitbit is the best love their customer service I had the Fitbit charge hr and already have complaints 2 weeks later so then they gave me a charge 2 and a 30% off discount for the ionic plus it ends when it’s my birthday THANK YOU FITBIT!!!!!!!
Thanks for the vid TechSmash. I have had some issues with the charging port lining up with the pins as it tends to not be a solid connection between the device and my laptop. The Ionic does charge my device but I sometimes wish the charging cable was like the Charge HR with a clasp around the band and charge it from there. 5 star review. *****
It doesn't look 'buggy' in the video here. It clearly states that the clock face is 'large app, may take time to install'. I think you're just a bit impatient.
I go to school so if I buy this I need to know, does it make sounds like loud sounds when you get a call or text and notifications? Like music or something when someone calls you or does it just vibrate when someone calls you and notifications
Where is the manual for download as I'm not always connected. What about GPS? Not liking the wristband so far - one of the band does not snap in correctly and falls out, tried many times before it snaps in. Further too much work getting it on with one hand, I think elastic bands would be better for me. Maybe more practice would help getting that band on, have not wore a watch since my first cell phone. BTW, nice video giving it a like.
They do make a Charging DOCK, available on Amazon, that you simply set the IONIC on, and it connects. Much simpler than messing around with the silly cable.
I purchased the IONIC for a replacement for my Wife's current Fitbit. She has a Dock on her desk that allows her to just set the watch on and it begins charging. I ordered the Charging Dock on Amazon and it will all be here next week. I'll drop you a line and let you know how it works.Take Care.
Jose Rodriguez I didn’t get neither due to accuracy issues I’ve been reading about and actually experiencing with the Blaze I currently have. I’ll be in my car driving at slow pace, and it will give me a notification saying I’ve reached my step goal for the day. It’s kind of annoying to be honest. If I decide to get one later on down the line, it’ll be for sleep tracking, but as of now, I’m ok with my blaze
I see that it shows text messages and other notifications. If I leave my phone at home and I’m out jogging away from home, will I receive those notifications? And as far as music goes.. will it allow me to sync and save up to the 300 songs from songs I purchase through iTunes? And play these songs away from my phone range?
Thank you, good job on the set up. I'm trying to get Pandora to download songs now. Did you download music? Which provider? Did you have issues? What method did you use?
+Mr. Glock Nut it's pretty durable but for sure will show damage if you hit it hard enough. I wouldn't say it's the best option for people that work manual labor type jobs.
I was on vacation last week when my Ironic, wouldn't sync up to the Fitbit app. I did a restart of my phone and ironic, it still wouldn't synch. A firmware upgrade was available so I launched it, it started downloading, then failed and never came back to life! Contacted support, they confirmed it was bricked! Instead of an honest response "of we don't know how to write code that will revert to previous firmware if an update fails" I was offered a 20% discount for a replacement! I made a promise to FitBit Support that I would advertise their product failures to the world and save innocent people from buying the biggest piece of smartwatch garbage. I've owned a Charge HR (worked except for wristband failures) , two Ironics, I should also mention I bought my partner a Charge 3 (special edition), the "special" was that it only synched the first day, had to be replaced. That's Special. So I went out and bought a Samsung Galaxy watch. Hate someone and have money to throw away, buy them a FitBit! Do Your research and read their forums, nothing but "community guidelines" infractions if You share Your experience. Suppress the truth, You will see this original post from the FitBit forum copied and pasted on TH-cam sites promoting FitBit. Have a Nice Day.
I had to return it! Either the actually OLED or the way Apple tuned it was giving me massive migraines and eye pain. I thought I was going crazy until I looked it up online and found a thread with around 16 pages of people saying the same thing. I hated to return it but I couldn’t live with those migraines.
After having the watch for one year I am still not using the watch to full potential and I can not set up apps like weather to work. Lot of tutorials show one thing and my watch does something else. I do realize I am technically challenged. Is it any phone help line I can contact to guide me through the process? The store I bought it knows nothing about the watch!
+Paul Arnison that's strange Paul. Maybe check all of the notification settings and also if you granted the correct permissions on your phone to allow the watch to receive them.
I have never been able to get my Ionic to send notifications/messages or phone call notifications. Doing a quick internet search I see I’m not the only one. As a Fitbit it works well but the fact that other functions don’t work is disappointing for me. I would not recommend this product
Have purchased a Fitbit ionic. Not very happy with performance. Wanted to add a new clock face, which I had to purchase. Installation failed and was not able to install. Heart rate is the best part but overall it has been a big disappointment. Would not recommend.
Please don’t buy Fitbit ionic . I bought for my aunt and just after two weeks , she suffered repeated electric shocks . Initially, I blamed the static electricity. But she keep complaining so I googled and to my horror , it’s true !!!! So many users complained in the Fitbit community, and even reported in the daily mail ... as usual , bug companies don’t know what happened and blame static electricity... please don’t buy until you do the research and willing to take that risk
Do not buy a Fitbit! I have owned 2 and they both died shortly after the 1 year warranty elapsed. I bought the Ionic for $300 and 18 months later it is dead. Helpdesk can do nothing because the warranty is over. I've had enough of this company with their poorly engineered products. After I requested assistance from Helpdesk and they turned me down, I told them I would no longer be a customer. Then the next day my account was hacked and someone (Fitbit heldesk?) changed my profile name and About Me section to something sexual and rude. So there you go... Fitbit.... don't do it! A waste of time and money and much frustration!
I’d say the views and like count show that I do know. People want to see these videos in real time of a setup they’re also doing at home. Thanks for watching.
Fitbit is the best love their customer service I had the Fitbit charge hr and already have complaints 2 weeks later so then they gave me a charge 2 and a 30% off discount for the ionic plus it ends when it’s my birthday THANK YOU FITBIT!!!!!!!
Where do you live ??
Just went through setting it up along with you, but I can't get the clock faces or all the displays you had to show.
On ur phone when installling the clocks face it said ‘large app will take time to install’ I thought u might have read that
Thank you for this review. My new Iconic is updating so I am watching videos about it as I wait!
Ionic!
Nice job in explaining this.... wanted one but don't think anymore your right it's way to expensive. I love fitbit but not for that high price.
Are you setting up the Ionic with your IPhone or Android phone?
This was really helpful. Thanks for taking the time...
Thanks for great video Bub, I had no idea Pandora was only in the US either lol
Thanks for the vid TechSmash. I have had some issues with the charging port lining up with the pins as it tends to not be a solid connection between the device and my laptop.

Rebecca Jane -I agree. He's very impatient
It was 1.48 MB. So I'd say his impatience is justified a bit.
@@brittanycurrency2941 is dum
YAY
I have sleep apnea. Which watch would be better for that?
Fitbit has the best sleep tracking I’ve used because now it even does deep sleep, etc. I love their sleep tracking.
Hate those push down tabs on the strap. PIA to push in place
At 12:30, that is the moment I got stuck. It constantly stays at 10% in "Setting up Ionic".
How does notification work ? How inform you that you have a notification ? With a vibration ?
Yes. It vibrates and shows the notification for calls and texts.
I go to school so if I buy this I need to know, does it make sounds like loud sounds when you get a call or text and notifications? Like music or something when someone calls you or does it just vibrate when someone calls you and notifications
Thank you, best review of this device.
Well thank you!
curious how you can put music on the watch...
were you able to sync Airpods and Spotify to your Fitbit Ionic?
Tori Leon no
can i add new wallpaper and is there any problem of syncing
Since your able to get notifications, are u able to answer the calls and send a message back like the Apple Watch?
Pat Fraijo If you listened, no you can’t
How is it with the gps On it, because I went back to my Fitbit blaze
I know this is an older post......we are having trouble with Pandora syncing up with phone. We have the Pandora Plus, so yeah. Any ideas?
Should I get the Apple Watch series 3 or 4 when it comes out
wth is wrong with yiu
Lol u should get a pet dianosaur
JCam s Shut up

+JS TOR I'll have to look into this. The charge cable isn't too bad now that I've used it some more.

does this fit bit also show your blood preasure or just the heart rate ?
+Barbara Black just the HR
I can’t find the calendar option anywhere. I do have it set to get notifications from calendar but that is all I can find
Can fitbit ionic sync with oppo? I just bought it and it keeps setting up...
Awesome set-up video; thank you. How long does a charge last?
+Diane Braune I think Fitbit says around 4 days or so. Sometimes mine lasts shorter than that though.
Hey so I have the ionic but I'm having trouble connecting it to my one +6 android phone. Can you help please?
Thanks, thank goodness for You Tube. I learn do much watching these video's. I'm a show me person. So where our how does the GPS work?
Love the functions, just not a real attractive watch to me. Was debating wether to get this one or the Versa
Have you decided yet on which one to get?
Jose Rodriguez I didn’t get neither due to accuracy issues I’ve been reading about and actually experiencing with the Blaze I currently have. I’ll be in my car driving at slow pace, and it will give me a notification saying I’ve reached my step goal for the day. It’s kind of annoying to be honest. If I decide to get one later on down the line, it’ll be for sleep tracking, but as of now, I’m ok with my blaze
If you decide to get one choose the ionic, it’s a great watch especially for fitness. It is not buggy or laggy.
could not feel vib on alarm. is there a way to adjust vibration ?
Pete Van Yes on the ionic go the settings app on your Fitbit and it should say vibration strength then your vibration strenght
I see that it shows text messages and other notifications. If I leave my phone at home and I’m out jogging away from home, will I receive those notifications?
And as far as music goes.. will it allow me to sync and save up to the 300 songs from songs I purchase through iTunes? And play these songs away from my phone range?
Cool guy 101 u can leave ur phone away for music but not calls and text.
iPefet thanks sir
Thank you, good job on the set up. I'm trying to get Pandora to download songs now. Did you download music? Which provider? Did you have issues? What method did you use?
The only thing I like in this what ever is, is the look!
What colour is your futbit ionic?
You didn't mention that it's water resistant to 50 Meters. I use it swimming with no problems.
Great video. Can't even get the watch to turn on even after 12 hour charge.
how do you put music on the watch
is this the blue grey model?
TBB5413 no it’s black
how do i take it off fasctory settings
Should I get the ionic or charge 2
+Sulaiman Hanif I'd go with the charge 2 if money is an issue. If you don't care about cost then Ionic.
Sulaiman Hanif I you want to be on budget, get a charge 2
used to get messages and phone call alerts on my fitbit ionic but don't now help!!
How are the wristbands on them? I have had a Fitbit Surge since 2015. I don't know how many times I've had to replace the wristband!
+Phoenix Blacc I really like them alot. They are so comfortable.
How durable is it? If it gets banged up will it just break?
+Mr. Glock Nut it's pretty durable but for sure will show damage if you hit it hard enough. I wouldn't say it's the best option for people that work manual labor type jobs.
Should I get Fitbit ionic or charge 2 ?
oh soz already been asked
Hadn’t seen it
How can i transfer music from itunes?
I am not 100% sure the Fitbit Ionic is worth 300$ when you can cheaper devices. The set up was time consuming, the video was helpful.
Is it waterproof?
where i can buy in thailand? or cambodia?
Son Sompy Harvey Norman job hi fi or fit 😇
Can you create and send/upload custom workouts to the Ionic?
+Svet not that I know of.
I GOT 1 but I can’t we’re it intill Christmas
I have a Samsung S6, my ionic shows I have a message, but I am unable to read the message, help!

It supposed to be about setting up the Fitbit not your opinions and what you think is weird or dislike about it
Nice vid
I thought you had the iPhone X?
I had to return it! Either the actually OLED or the way Apple tuned it was giving me massive migraines and eye pain. I thought I was going crazy until I looked it up online and found a thread with around 16 pages of people saying the same thing. I hated to return it but I couldn’t live with those migraines.
ummm when i click setup device it takes me straight back to the settings
Adding Personal music through the system has been VERY difficult. In the year 2019 it should be a couple of clicks to do this. ...IT WASN'T. Help?
Great video!
Thank you!
Fitbit is doing a ionic watch recall
Great video man! Love your channel! Why are you not bigger! I would love to help promote your channel if you want?
thank you ..that as very good:)
What the heck is your lighting doing in your thumbnail???
probably stopped downloading the screen b/c you left the app page and looked around.

You clearly have not had or used a Fitbit blaze... “a lot different from fitbits in the past” not really actually minor differences between the 2
Can't get my notifications even though it's on ☹
+Paul Arnison that's strange Paul. Maybe check all of the notification settings and also if you granted the correct permissions on your phone to allow the watch to receive them.
Can u have a passcode to get into it?
+Sorcha Bright yes you can. When you have on Fitbit pay it's actually required. Mine was the grey.
Technology Smash thx

Takes about 30 minutes when connected to WIFI and about a hour without
