The Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit's first full-fledged smartwatch, is official and damn, it's ugly! it features some very interesting new features that are made possible by new hardware.

A sporty smartwatch

Here, we look at the 10 key features and specs that make the Fitbit Ionic stand out in the smartwatch crowd, and especially against its two big rivals: the Apple Watch and the Samsung Gear S3.

We start with the outstanding battery life (there is no always-on screen display, though), look at the awesome new Fitbit apps idea and what it will have on day 1 in terms of apps, and look at the workouts, a typical Fitbit strength. Read on.

Talk about that square design, and I really think Fitbit needs to hire a new designer. What ruins this for me the most is the Fitbit logo in the front. Should have put it on the back of the watch, since it makes the bezel uneven. IMO, I see a lot of Fitbit owners sticking to what they have.

I've seen their current one out in the open. It looks close enough to the apple watch and literally that's all i was thinking as i was looking at the watch worn by store clerk

As and Pebble Steel owner i have to ask, does it have always on display and good battery life? It doesn't, so no ... thank you i'll pass.
