The new Ionic Smartwatch by Fitbit is creating a stir in tech circles

Fitbit, the wearables giant unveiled its first smartwatch called Fitbit Ionic. Fitbit Blaze was the closest innovation to a smartwatch when it got launched last year. However, Fitbit Blaze couldn’t be competitive with other wearable tech devices as it wasn’t that advanced. On this new device, third-party apps and watch face designs can be installed.

The smartwatch is partnering with Adidas as the device comes with training programs. Did you know that you can also play casino games on your smartwatch?
