A FITTER FITBIT

Fitbit has launched its first-ever smartwatch. Dubbed the Ionic, this new smartwatch keeps Fitbit’s fitness tracking business at the forefront while offering all of the functionality we’ve come to expect from other smartwatches, making it a pretty tempting device for those who wear a smartwatch on a daily basis. Users will have access to Fitbit Coach and an automatic running companion based on its GPS capabilities. The Ionic also allows for better heart rate tracking thanks to enhancements made to PurePulse, and a new sensor that tracks blood oxygen levels, which opens up the potential for monitoring things like sleep apnoea in the future. The Ionic comes with a quoted four-day battery life, but of course, your mileage may vary depending on what you’re doing.
