New to this.  before I purchase...

How many apps can I download for this watch?  is there a running app that will help me monitor my pace and alert me when off pace.  how well does it work for bike riding?  Hiking?

swimming laps? water aerobics.  

I am considering this or the Apple 3 but I prefer fit bit when it comes to fitness.  I do not want a coach but other fitness apps would be awesome.  I also prefer to leave phone at home when running, will I be able to respond to text messages?

I can't answer all those questions but here's a starter:

 

The ionic can hold up to 39 apps. See: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2224

 

I use it for Hiking and it works well for me. I choose not to use the GPS as that limits battery life and my hikes can be long but I am happy with the accuracy even without GPS.

 

You can get your text messages on the ionic but they are sent from your phone via bluetooth so your phone needs to be nearby. At the moment you can't respond to them.

 

If you are consider buying an ionic it might help to have a look through the manual at https://staticcs.fitbit.com/content/assets/help/manuals/manual_ionic_en_US.pdf to give a better idea of what it can do.
