Can’t decide...

[bshea705]

I’m thinking of upgrading from a Charge 2 to the Versa or Ionic. I was leaning towards the Fitbit Versa because the price was a little better than the Ionic. But seeing all of the mixed reviews about the battery drainage and undocumented steps is making me lean towards the Fitbit Ionic. I don’t know what to do! Get the cheaer one regardless of the reviews, or get the more expensive one. Please help!!

What specifically would you like to track?

[bshea705]

Well, to be honest, just my steps. But the reason why I’m aching to upgrade is because I’ve been hearing mixed reviews on the newer Fitbits and that you can do more with them.

Have you used the compare page?

It can help.make up your mind. The Ionic has built in GPS which I want Versa has connected GPS

Yes, I have seen the comparison page. I’ll look at it again because it was kind of helpful. Thank you! 😊

if you don't go on runs or walks outside than i probably wouldn't go for the ionic.  I would still get the SE edition of the Versa for the fitbit pay though!

[bshea705]

I will look at that. Thank you!

I am telling everyone I know to look elsewhere than the Ionic (I cannot speak for the Versa but I hear they suffer a little fewer problems than Ionic). Otherwise I would either stick with an Apple watch if you have an iPhone or possibly an android wear watch if you are on Android. Good luck!
