Fitbit is making a buzz in the smartwatch industry by unveiling their newest entry the Fitbit Ionic Watch. However, Fitbit promises that the Ionic is everything a smartwatch is and more.

Feature wise it still has the essentials for a smartwatch such as an accelerator, motion detecting sensor, optical heart-rate monitor, GPS, NFC chip (for contactless transactions) and SpO2 sensor for checking blood oxygen saturation levels. There is also a guided breathing feature in case you need to meditate in the middle of a stressful day.

The Fitbit Ionic is water resistant as well

You can also use this to monitor activities involving water like swimming and such as it is water resistant as well. There is also a 2.5GB storage for music with Pandora Premium integration.
