The Ionic even works well during yoga workouts Lee Bellįiring up the Running app to ensure your run is tracked is easy enough. And thanks to new customization options, you can also design your own watch faces to make the Ionic completely unique to you. On-screen icons are displayed beautifully and in a clean way so not to confuse the wearer. That’s one thing Fitbit do very well here. Speaking of which, I am a big fan of the heart rate sensor, which displays the corresponding measurements on the screen clearly whether you’re exercising or not. Choose a standard “workout” exercise from the list before beginning circuit training, for example, and it track your heart rate continuously, until you tell it to stop. The other good news here is that this feature doesn’t come into play if you don’t want it.

This is thanks to a the device’s new Run Detect feature, which means the Ionic is clever enough to know when you’re taking a break, and automatically stops and starts tracking a run, swim or cycle by sensing the status of your movement.
