So I have a very short time frame of experience with the Ionic - 24 hours. It has been a painful time with the Ionic not staying connected to my phone (Pixel XL running 8.0). But during the past 24 hours I have had to restart or repair the ionic numerous times in order to get the watch to sync only to have it stop syncing within an hour or so. I have reached out to support a couple of times and each time they have given me steps to get it connected - BUT that is not sustainable to do daily.
I cannot be the only one with this problem. A quick search showed some steps to fix it which only work less than half of the time.
I am trying to figure out at this time if it is software or hardware problems..... I really like the watch and want to get mine working with no problems. I had been using a One and there was never any issues with sync or connections to my phone.
Honestly not sure what I am expecting to get from this post - maybe someone else had the same issues that they fixed?

Not sure what to suggest to you Pixel 1 owners since I seem to be back to working, may be different issues, similar results. For example, I have re-enabled "all-day sync" and it seems to be still be fully working: Trusted Device, notifications, and I've been opening the app to see it's last sync time, and they've been at times I definitely didn't manually sync. The only feature I seem to be unable to use still is "always connected." Which I'm okay with if it seems to stay connected.
Maybe helpful if you've not done yourself, but I definitely went through a hardcore reset process prior to all of this:
I essentially started from square one. GL.

I have found that taking the credit card off helps.

Hello, I'm experiencing the same problem. The whatch can't get synchronized properly with my Huawei mobile. It is very uncomfortable and unconvinient considering the price spent for buying it. The troubleshooting done is the one in the manual and it doesn't work. I'm Mr i spent 350 euros for a **ahem** fitbit useless device. I previously used the surge model and I found it incredibly efficient. The ionic is not a reliable product at this point in time.

This is a community forum, we aren't going to be rushing to get the manual out to see what you did.
So what troubleshooting have you actually done? Have you read any suggestions and done any of the suggestions in this thread?

I’m constantly losing sync as well. I’m thinking my problem exists after swimming. I’m not 100% sure if swimming is creating the problem.

constantly having to restart ionic and phone to get it to sync. HTCU11 with oreo. Sometimes works great...then all of a sudden it stops syncing. This issue is the most frustrating part of an otherwise great device.

Tonight same thing. Never had this issue. And the processor blows. Been a fitbit advocator long time because it offers things I need that apple watch won't. Sleep and real stats and logging food. Apple sucks on that. All 3rd party apps. At this point I'm really thinking of asking fitbit for a refund or sell this junk on eBay or something. Sad and disappointed. # get your act together fitbit

For the people who keep having this problem, try this workaround.
It is NOT a solution, but i never loose connection longer then a minute or 2 with this workaround.

iPhone 7 user, only able to connect watch to phone on 1:150 attempts, watch unable to connect to WiFi 90% of the time. Have spent 2 hrs on the phone with FitBit going through all work around and took 4 complete restarts with app deleted and new profile to even sync once. Unable to get alerts, change faces, use music, use app. Going to return this watch and try another one. Any hint of these issues and I will get a refund as it does not work as advertised.

Feeling the same with Notsofits , my ionic disconnected every night. when i wokeup in morning i cannot see the sleep result unless i do unpair and re setup new device over and over again. have done this for four consecutive days. tonight i guess ionic will disconnect again. Huawei mate 9 , android 8.0 , fw version 27.31.1.29.
by the way, re setting up is unstable , some time it success , many times it unsuccess , for example , just after input 4 digits , the ionic keeping ask retrying.
