On the other hand, it’s packed with fitness features, including GPS, a workout assistant, a new and improved heart rate sensor, an oxygen sensor, 50 meter water resistance and 5 day battery life. And though Fitbit’s render’s don’t do it much justice, it actually looks pretty classy in person.
If you’re interested in picking up an Ionic, the watch goes on sale for $300 in three color combinations: silver with a blue-gray band, gray with a charcoal band, and burnt orange with a blue band.
