I purchased Fitbit Ionic today for a couple of key reasons over the competition.

 

1) Battery life

2) Synchronising music from Mac / PC.

 

For the former, I am yet to test it out but for the latter, I am a bit disappointed that there is NO indication anywhere that the Ionic only works with iOS (or Android). Infact I installed the MacOS software and setup community profile before purchasing.

 

The issue is that music files are on my Mac so how do I sync my music to the watch as the USB cable connecting MacOs to Fibit is rendered useless because Fitbit MacOS software won't recognise Ionic.

 

Is there a seamless way to do this pls ?

Thanks @sfringer. I have since viewed few youtube / google links and realised the complexity, so decided to pass and retain music on iPhone.

 

I would have very much preferred a simple drag & drop solution. I have files sized at least 125 MB each, so would take day or two to sync up and none of them are on playlist.

 

Very disappointed with Fitbit for complicating a simple task of transferring local music in this day and age, you have to jump through hoops as if it still year 2002 ??
