Fitbit claims up to four days of battery life, a refined OS that pairs nicely with devices running i. OS, Android, and Windows, and a brand new sensor for tracking your heart rate.

And between the almost perfect Surge and the incredibly unattractive Blaze, Fitbit has been interested in the smartwatch sector of the wearable market for a while. This is the culmination of that interest. Its profoundly uglylike every Fitbit thats come before, but it could be technologically cool enough that you might not care. A smartwatch, even an unattractive one, makes sense for Fitbit right now.

The Ionic will likely be too big and square to accomplish the same feat. So one way Fitbit is hoping to distinguish itself is by focusing on what it does best Fitness. To that end.

This is the de facto method for detecting the heartrate on the wrist. With the Ionic, Fitbit is introduces a new triwave color sensor that uses a combination of red, green, and infrared lights to detect bloodflow.

The Ionic could, potentially, change that. It allows for call, text, and calendar notifications. Theoretically, it can handle notifications from other apps as well, and I managed to get it to work with three of the other apps on my phone. Besides notifications and the option for different watch faces another big smartwatch must the Ionic has is an NFC chip for cardless payments at retailers.

Apps will be subject to a review process and coded using Javascript and SVR. Theyre expected to be designed in Fitbit Studio, a new web based tool, similar to the one the defunct Pebble used to rapidly build a library of apps. In fact Tomas Sarlandie, Fitbits Software Engineering Director, told journalists at a recent briefing that Studio had already been seeded to select former Pebble developers in the hopes that theyd develop for the new Fitbit OS platform. And Fitbit had better cross its fingers they do, because at launch there will be exactly four non Fitbit apps available on the Ionic a Starbucks, Accuweather, cycling app Strava, and Pandora. Those are meager options, but the Pandora one could be nifty, as it will allow you to take Pandora offline and onto the watchs 2. GB of storage space provided you have a Plus or Premium Pandora account. Theres no Spotify, or Google or Apple Music, so if you dont want to listen to Pandora youll need to side load your own music. All of it will play via Bluetooth headphones, including the pair Fitbit itself is launching around the same time. The Fitbit Flyer are wireless Bluetooth headphones that Fitbit claims have six hours of playtime in them, compatibility with all available digital assistants, audio prompts for connectivity and battery life, and a small selection of wings, tips, and fins to help you find a better fit. The Fitbit Flyer wireless earbuds will retail for 1. Fitbit Ionic will retail for a whopping 3.
