Its goal is to improve performance for runners and athletes with Adidas-made training and sessions that were created by a team of performance specialists with years of experience. In addition to the new band, the other major difference between the Adidas Edition and the classic Ionic is the exclusive Adidas Train app. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get the strap to slide in perfectly. My only complaint about the band is that it is difficult to fasten, but it's also very secure and doesn't slip once it's on. Fortunately, swapping out the strap is easy. Of course, you have to get a proprietary band for the device if you want to change it, but there are several options on the Fitbit store to choose from, including leather. Fitbit also provides a smaller size for those with slender wrists. The band also gives it a youthful, sporty look which is appropriate for both men and women. The strap is much more practical than that of the classic Ionic because of the secure buckle and perforation that allows for breathability during sports and everyday life. The smartwatch comes with an exclusive sports wristband that's two-tone (ink blue and ice gray). © NextPitĬontrary to what you might assume, there's little new in the design of the Adidas Edition compared to the original. On the right: the Fitbit Ionic Adidas Edition.

To put it simply (without giving too much away), the differences between the original and Adidas versions of the Ionic aren't very significant and scarcely justify any difference in cost, even the minimal jump we see here. The Fitbit Ionic Adidas Edition offers a 1.42-inch LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 348 x 250 pixels. There is 2.5 GB of internal storage, NFC, GPS, an optical heart rate sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer and an accelerometer. The smartwatch ensures perfect tracking of your physical activities and benefits via Fitbit Coach. The Ionic Adidas Edition is also waterproof up to 50m and features Fitbit Pay. For more details, I strongly encourage you to read the Ionic review I published at the end of last year, because in this review I will only focus on the differences between the two versions. Like Apple and its partnership with Nike for the Apple Watch, Fitbit offers an Adidas edition of its Ionic smartwatch. This new version of the device stands out above all with its design and the Adidas Train app which gives users access to special training in addition to the exercises available with Fitbit Coach. Otherwise, it's exactly the same product offering the same features.
