Looking into getting a smartwatch to help with the weight loss journey.

Currently leaning towards the firbit iconic because of battery life, water proof, and not having to take my phone to the gym to stream music.

Any other suggestions? Anyone have an iconic and is willing to offer feedback?

    I just got the charge 2 after using the flex for three years. I’m loving the upgrade but it doesn’t stream my music or let you swim with it so I would think the icon would be a better fit for sure.

    I have the iconic and love it. It is a personal decision on what works best for you.

    It's the fitbit Ionic, not iconic :wink: Personally, for me i don't need all the bells and whistles. I have the Charge 2, and i love it!

    I have found this guys review very helpful in comparing devices:

    fitbit has some good stuff, but make sure you check out all the brands. I believe samsung and apple both have smartwatches that can play music and track fitness goals. There are lots of other brands as well. Fitbit tends to fall short in the gps category, so if you are a runner that might be something to think about. Not sure if they have improved that with the ionic or not.

    Enjoy your search!

    I have owned Fitbit's before, and they are a good choice, but I now own an Apple Watch and won't go back. Samsung has some nice watches also, so look around and see which one fits you the best.
