Fitbit Ionic launched in South Africa

Core Group has launched the Fitbit Ionic in South Africa. It is available at a recommended retail price of R5,499.

Fitbit’s smartwatch is the company’s first device built on the Pebble software platform after its acquisition of Pebble’s “key assets” in 2016.

The Ionic features a battery life of four days, automatic activity and sleep tracking, and cross-platform compatibility.

It also has a new SpO2 sensor, which Fitbit said makes it possible to gain deeper health insights by tracking conditions like sleep apnea.

The Ionic supports contactless payments, GPS tracking, on-device dynamic workouts, improved heart rate tracking, and water resistance of up to 50m.
