@wmccharles, which sensors are you interested in comparing? Floors? Steps? Heart Rate?

Hi...I was kinda hoping for a general head to head...maybe left arm with one and right arm with the other...heart rate...step count...stairs...running...bike ride...the stuff its suppose to track...I will get the ionic eventually but if I knew the sensors were comparable or one was better... I would do it sooner then later...

I have not seen a video but I can tell you from experience that they are very similar. The Ionic is just as bad at tracking heart rate for several different exercises as the Blaze was. 

 

I was was hoping with this new sensor they would have fixed this but sadly they have not.

im sorry about your experience with the blaze but ive found with my blaze when i compare it to the machines i use that the hr and steps are bang on with theirs...give or take a beat with hr and with steps a moment or two slow but not off by much...i thought maybe with this "improved sensor" things may have improved a little...
