Everyone who knows me knows how much I love my Fitbit! I was a fairly early adapter to the product, in that I had one of the earliest Fitbit models, and even with that one, it took me a while to really utilize it to the fullest. I’d have to say that it was my super competitive family that helped fuel my addiction to my Fitbit since we are non stop engaging in a work week and/or weekend challenge and there are days where my sole motivation is to get more steps than my busybody mom and I’ve since kept up with the latest advancements, and experienced how each new model just kept getting better and better and just when I thought I couldn’t love my Fitbit any more…I discovered the all new Fitbit Ionic!
If you’re looking for gift ideas this holiday season…or even something special just for you, here are just some reasons to love the new Fitbit Ionic Smartwatch!
Product Features
It has all of the classic features of other Fitbit models, such as activity and sleep tracking, but has added an awesome variety of smart features and other advanced fitness features such as…

My absolute favorite feature on this new Fitbit Ionic is the ability to switch modes based on your workout. So, there’s a mode you set for running, biking, weights and more!

Design
The new Fitbit Ionic features a bright color display with multiple clock faces, 6 axis sensor, and nano-molded aerospace-grade aluminum watch case. It’s also super easy to show off your personal style with a quick release button for switching bands. It comes standard with 2 charcoal colored bands (small and large), but you can purchase additional bands separately.
All of these cool features – plus extended battery life (4 days on charge) and water resistant design make it one of the hottest items right now on the market. Best Buy has identified the coolest and best tech to gift this season and the Fitbit Ionic might just be among the top on my list!

Being one of those who got so used to a sedentary lifestyle, I find it fascinating that there are now gadgets coming out to help track and monitor health. I’ve seen some colleagues using Fitbit and I am curious. I think it is a sign that I need to shape up and start working out.
MY DAUGHTER WOULD LOVE THIS FOR CHRISTMAS! SHE ASKED FOR A FITBIT BUT THE FITBIT IONIC DOES SO MUCH MORE. SINCE HER PHONE SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO HER 24/7 THIS MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE PLUS SHE DOESN’T EXPECT ME TO KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS!
Somebody please give this to me for Christmas. I can buy it myself, but I feel it is going to be more effective if it is given to me as a gift. It will motivate me to keep track of my health because someone cares enough to give me a Fitbit to remind me that they want me to be healthy always.
Omg, this is amazing! I need this one!
Oh wow! That thing is so gorgeous! I love the styling of it. I would love to upgrade to this model.
That thing is awesome, AND this is perfect timing for me. I just destroyed my other Fitbit. I forgot it was in my pocket, and I washed it. =/
This looks like a great product. I am going to put this on my Christmas list, I have been wanting a Fitbit.
I know a few people who have Fitbit Smart watches, and they all have positive comments! They are very popular!
It looks like it’s time to upgrade the fitbit that I have! This one has all the features that I need (and want)! I think it’s pretty amazing!
This is such a cool Fitbit! I’m definitely liking its easy band switching feature. That’s going to be amazing when for matching it with your outfits.
I have never tried buying a fitbit before! But I think it’s about time that I did! It’s really awesome and it has a lot of great features that can make fitness easier for anyone!
This is why I’d love to have a fitbit! It’s really awesome what you can do with it and there’s so much that you can look forward to with this new version!
I’m a bit behind the game and still need to get a fitbit, this looks like a great one. Love the options.
Oh how neat! I used to have a fitbit but ultimately ended up selling it (not a fan of having anything on my wrist) but I may have to reconsider! The Fitbit Ionic Smart Watch looks pretty awesome!
I love the look of this Fitbit watch. It is really sleek and chic.
I will have to put this on my Christmas list! This is such an awesome watch. I love all the storage it has too!
This watch looks so cool, fitbit has really done an awesome job with bringing out amazing products!
Now that is legit! I use my Fitbit constantly, and this is an amazing upgrade.
It really is…and I was in love with my last one!
I do so much better with my fitness goals when they are easy to track. This new Fitbit is so cool! It’ll totally get me out and about.
I need to tell Santa I’ve been good this year. This looks like such a great upgrade to some already cool tech.
I’ve never used a fitbit or smart watch yet. They do look really fun though (and useful).
If I don’t get this as a birthday or Christmas gift, I am buying it for myself. I need to start getting serious with my health and fitness. I’ve been putting it off for the longest time and I am now starting to feel the effects. Having a Fitbit watch will motivate me to stay in shape!
I have always wanted a FitBit. This FitBit looks super hi-tech with some amazing new features.
