My text notifications are truncated most of the time and hardly see what is the message for Text or Email. So whats the meaning of having smartwatch if i have to pull out my smartphone almost all the time to see notification? also even though it's a color display, it can't show picture messages...again whats the meaning of having color screen then... sometimes, i think Fitbit wrongly marketing this as smartwatch (Right now, it's just fitness tracker with some notification from phone) as it lacks some main features, will these smartwatch features be ever added in Ionic?

Swipe up @chiragpatel and scroll through the alerts (truncated) and touch to see full text.

I'm with you.  I'm not sure at what exact point it truncates the message, but even when I tap on a message to see more, I am rarely able to read the entire thing.

 

I agree, we are looking at an excellent fitness tracker with a handful of very half-baked smartwatch features.  This device may yet grow into a smartwatch, but we've been misled with claims that it's already there.

Notifications from some of the messaging apps will display entire message when selected, others not.

Snapchat notification is very erratic.  I understand that displaying Snapchat multimedia content is not straightforward (is it a picture/video/animation? what about sound?), but the text messages should be easy.

Coming from an old black and white Pebble, I'm so far not quite convinced the Ionic is such a big step forward. At least not in the "smartwatch" department.  As a fitness tracker it's probably among the better - but then I mostly do weights, so will be interesting to see how it "tracks" that 🙂

The Pebble was more configurable in regards to notifications, watchfaces, apps etc.  Sincerely hope that Fitbit will incorporate more of this into the Ionic (and that they haven't just chucked all the Pebble technology and code they bought out in the barn just to get rid of it).
