Voice Activated Music Control

Please consider adding some form of voice control (such as Alexa) to the Ionic when used with a bluetooth mic/earbuds such as The Flyer.

 

This should be able to control the music functions such as ("Play Bach Playlist"), ("Skip Track"), ("Stop playback").

 

It would be a big help for workouts like kickboxing, weightlifting, etc, where both hands are constantly occupied, by saving the effort of having to go to the watch to control music. It would make for a more fluid music/workout experience.

 

Potentially, the voice control could extend to pausing or stopping workouts or other basic functions.

That would be awesome.  You could also ask the watch to send someone from your contacts a message.  I wish they would add this feature.  If you are seriously wanting this feature, call the Fitbit helpline and tell them your idea.

That’s an interesting idea and could be very useful, specially when running or doing any kind of activity. Thanks for sharing this suggestion.

This would be great. The lack integration with something like Google Assistant for voice commands is the only reason I still consider switching from Fibit to a smartwatch.
