[ad_1]

We told you about the Fitbit event organized a few weeks ago. We had the chance to participate in this keynote to discover their entire range, including the Fitbit Ionic Adidas.

Fitbit Ionic Adidas Edition

Released about a year ago, the Fitbit Ionic is back. On the occasion of a partnership with Adidas, the manufacturer presents us with an improved version of its flagship model.

The watch has a simple and uncluttered design. Its rectangular shape mixing deep black and an aluminum frame are the most beautiful effect. The blue and gray breathable bracelet is quite discreet. The set provides a watch that can be worn every day. It is also important to note that the bracelet is removable. Without forgetting that Fitbit had the good idea to put a second bracelet of smaller size in the box.

The watch allows you to change the bracelet as you wish, there are different models on the official website including a beautiful but expensive leather bracelet.

The Fitbit Ionic Adidas offers a 1.42-inch LCD touch screen with a resolution of 348 x 250 pixels. It has 2.5 GB of internal storage, an NFC chip, a GPS, an optical heart rate sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer and an accelerometer. In short, it has everything you need.

At bottom the form!

The Fitbit Ionic Adidas is of course a perfect watch to follow your sports activities. It has many features:

• Pedometer: The bracelet uses the motion sensor to count your number of steps. There is also a "get moving" program that encourages you to do at least 250 steps per hour.

• Sleep: The watch automatically detects when you fall asleep and when you wake up. The mobile application or PC details sleep cycles: paradoxical, light, deep. The watch will even indicate when to go to bed.

• Nutritional and caloric monitoring: Thanks to the application, it is possible to scan the barcodes of the consumed products. And of course, it is possible to track calorie expenditure.

• Hydration: To track your daily water consumption.

• Weight Tracking: People who want to monitoring weight will be able to detail their weight gain or loss.

• Cardiac Activity: Using the built-in sensor, the user can track their heartbeat in real time or over days.

• Sports activities: running, cycling, swimming, treadmill …

• Coaching: With the Ionic, you have a wrist coach. Videos are displayed on the screen, there is more to realize the exercise. It must be admitted that according to the exercise it is not always practical to look at his watch. However, there are only three exercise catalogs. We quickly go around. It is hoped that there will be updates with new programs later.

• Adidas Train: focused on running, the 6 sessions offered last between 5 and 15 minutes. The watch offers a warm-up mode before the race, exercises to boost your stride, increase your power, stretches for the post-race, etc. In short, the runners will find their happiness.

As you can see, the watch is a real sports partner.

Not just sports

The Fitbit Ionic Adidas is also a smart health connected watch. It will be the extension of your smartphone. Notifications, call, SMS or weather. It is possible to consult a lot of information. During this Review, the watch was paired on two phones, a turning under Android 8 and one iPhone under IOS 11. The notifications work perfectly. Small flat, prerecorded answers are available, but you must be precise when you press the watch. A pressure beside and the notification leaves and impossible to answer after that.

Although fairly well equipped, the Ionic also offers a whole catalog of additional applications that can be installed on the device. In all honesty for now it's still far from the richness of a mobile App-Store, but there are some nice apps. We will mainly remember Deezer or Strava.

The watch is NFC, it is possible to pay your purchases with the latter via Fitbit Pay. But beware, so far few French banks are able to be compatible. Here are the few compatible: Crédit Mutuel com Bretagne, Massif Central, Sud-Ouest, Boon, Fortuneo and Max and all only on the MasterCard network.

The Fitbit app

As you could read above, the application is available on Android and iOS. This "nerve center" will centralize all monitoring data. Thus, it is possible to look at the different evolutions via curves or graphical representations. It's very well thought out. Thanks to the application, the user can also control the Ionic Adidas: Choice of applications, choice of the type of display of the watch, etc.

According to us, there is only one complaint to make the application including running, the latter does not show the differences in your sessions. To work around the problem, synchronization via Strava solves the problem. This is a detail, but it can be annoying for some users.

The PC application does not differ greatly except for the management of the music on the watch.

How does it work?

Everyday, it's really a great watch. The smart health connected side makes this Ionic a very serious alternative to the Apple Watch. Regarding the sporty side, it is legible and easy to use thanks to the touch screen, flawless support for running, your swimming sessions or others.

The GPS grip is good in a few seconds the signal is OK. Moreover, the management of musical listening is also very intuitive.The heart rate sensor works perfectly, the results are similar to other models we could try.Autonomy is also good, with a weekly session of an hour and a half a week, the watch is five days. The charging system is quite practical, it is closer to Apple's Magsafe. And as often, it is a proprietary format, too bad.

Conclusion

In short, we were very excited about this Fitbit Ionic Adidas. His versatility is a serious asset. She will accompany you in all your activities. Its thoughtful application informs about a lot of information that will delight most users. To conclude, it is perfect, but it remains a safe bet.
