Hi,

 

My wife brought my Fitbit Ionic for me and gave it as an early Birthday present for my 40th which is today 7th May,  however the reason why she brought it is because this watch is a health and fitness watch and was needed to track my health, but the amount of money she spent on it should reflect some basic features such as SPO / Blood pressure, however it doesn't, yet her basic watch she brought for £30 has so many more features than the Ionic. Why?

 

So my question is why are FitBit advertising this product as a health and fitness watch when the only

health check it does is my heart rate and to be fair my rating out of 10 is just 3 but would increase if Fitbit listened to it's customers, as I understand it the press are sniffing around these concerns.

 

I wont be the first or last to bring these questions to the table, so are FitBit going to do anything? If not are Fitbit going to refund it's customers and change it's advertising?

 

Fitbit let's hear your thoughts?

There are watches that have Bp.O2,heart rate and body temperature. You can order them from China. But I don't know how well they work. I heard that it takes a month to get one. They can cost $50 and up. I haven't seen any reviews for them.

Yes, I have high blood pressure and the versa 2 was recommended. After I received it I realized it does not do blood pressure. Makes me want to return it and go with different company. Why recommend something when that specific feature you are looking for is not included. Very disappointing.
