Is the Fitbit Ionic a good pick when doing crossfit

[MennoSteenwijk]

Hi all!

I am looking into buying a fitbit. But I can't find enough information yet to make my decision. I would like to know what peoples expierences are with using the fitbit Ionic while doing crossfit. Crossfit is my main workout and I would like to know for sure that the Ionic works propperly.

Thanks!

@MennoSteenwijk unfortunately the answer is "maybe" - depends on the level of accuracy you want, the type of crossfit exercises you are doing, and how well the Ionic works on your wrist during those exercises. Anything that involves bending of the wrist, or irregular movements, makes it more difficult for any optical HRM to accurately track HR. Might want to buy directly from Fitbit, or an authorized dealer with a good return policy, and return it if you aren't happy.
