On the other hand, there were SpO2 data syncing and ‘Notification service is not running’ issues with the Fitbit app which is used to manage the trackers and smartwatches on smartphones. To recall, there were reports of multiple connectivity issues with Fitbit Luxe, notifications not coming on Fitbit Versa 3, and more. However, it is not feasible to get rid of each and every issue when it comes to software. The Fitbit community is full of bug reports and issue threads from Fitbit users.įitbit tries to resolve most of the issues and problems by promptly assisting affected users through various troubleshooting steps and software updates. However, there are times when Fitbit trackers and smartwatches do not perform the way they are supposed to. This means that the fitness vendor provides software updates including improvements, bugfixes, and even new features to its devices. While Fitbit provides support to all the trackers and smartwatches that are currently in its portfolio, it also supports some of its discontinued products. Original story (published on August 11, 2021) follows:įitbit has a vast portfolio of smartwatches and trackers including the Fitbit Ace, Inspire series, Charge series, and many more. I wanted to make sure that notifications for phone calls, emails, and text messages can be captured and sent to the Ionic? I do know that the Ionic has limited ability to respond but all I care about is being notified.New updates are being added at the bottom of this story… I've seen only a few posts about occurring this on the Ionic so can I presume that the Ionic lives up to the advertised battery life of 4-5 days? Is the Ionic's build quality much improved over the previous Fitbit watches? I know that the Ionic hasn't been on the market very long but what have you seen or heard in this regards?Ī common problem with smartwtach's is a tendency to run into low battery life problems. The Ionic is not a low cost buy so if I invest in one I want it to last for years and not months.


Fitbit replaced many of these watches under warranty but I am concerned that the hardware quality is "lacking" if they fail so easily. I see that there is a trend of Fitbit devices failing after a few months usage. I have been eyeing the Ionic as a possible replacement but after combing through the Fitbit forums I do have some concerns that I was hoping that you could give me an "honest" opinion on. I am a Pebble user looking for a new smartwatch.
