Music and Fitbit Pay

[Rowlt]

I have 10 days to decide if I keep the watch as features are not as I would hope...

I need to know if Fitbit will have the option to add Spotify music to the ionic?  I play all my music via Spotify and have no music on my pc so can not load music on to the watch.

Also the other advertised option was fitbit pay, when is this to be available on the ionic in the UK as if it's gonna be a while then I'm looking at whether I return during my 28 day buying period?

@Rowlt Conservative/pragmatic answers:

Spotify needs to agree to put offline music on Ionic. Its safe to assume they will want Fitbit to pay $$$ for that to happen. Samsung has Spotify offline on its smartwatch, its possible Samsung paid for an exclusive to lockout Fitbit and Apple and others. We really don't know. Spotify has over 60 million paid subscribers, they are in the power position in this negotiation. For now, in terms of your return window, its best to assume it won't be on Ionic.

While Fitbit pay is available in the US, it requires Fitbit to make deals with individual banks that issue the credit cards. My two credit cards are not supported yet. Similar to music deals, Fitbit must make deals with each bank. The Fitbit CEO wants to put Fitbit pay on more devices (think Blaze 2, Charge 3). Over time Fitbit will add more countries and more banks. But you can't predict when your bank will be supported.

Agree with the above. On the Fitbit Pay, the answer to ‘when’ is whenever they do a deal with a UK bank. That’s not something that anyone is going to know in advance.
