I think there is a problem for all people who are not lives in the US. I live in Croatia, Europe and the price of the Ionic in the Croatian stores are about 432 $ - yes it's not a joke and I don't think they'll sell more than a few because it's just too much. I sure didn't. 

If I try to buy Ionic online at the Fitbit store, the price is 350 € which again is not 300$ but 417$.

I bought Ionic online in the Amazon uk.co in the end and the total price for me is 356$ - the cost of shipping and taxes included.  That's the cheapest Ionic I could find these days. 

And so, when I see Americans talks about how the price of 300$ is too high, it makes me cry, literally.

Yes, the price is really too high for all of us who can't have it for 300$ and the main question is why Fitbit doing this and not adjust the price for Europe to be more competitive?? It's not fair.

I got min in Argos in the uk, luckily i have some 8% savings when i shop there, making it £275  GBP.

 

its a work savings site,  called benefiting together,  i think lots of companys have these things where you can save some more cash.

 

Cheapest way i managed to buy the ionic, i really didnt think it was comparable to the gear s3, not having phone calls and what not, but the purpose of it, is quite specific, we want it for fitness and not so much a smart watch, those other apps are a bonus really.   I love the battery length compared to what i was used to with android wear.   It keeps proving its self to me as time progresses.

I'm happy for you! There is no that kind of stores here and they all have the same price for the Ionic. 

I like Ionic very much, (at least I hope I'm going to like it because it's not arrived yet)  that's why I bought it in the first place, but my point is the price of 300$ is only for the US, so that watch is much more expensive in the rest of the world. And for that price I really expect a perfect product, it will be my first Fitbit ever. At least I have the 2-year warranty because the Amazon UK is the authorized seller of Fitbit. But if I'll have any problems with it, I'm going to return it that's for sure and go back to Garmin and buy their new fitness tracker Vivosport. It has everything that Ionic does but it's much cheaper!
