Should you pick Fitbit's new Versa smartwatch over the Ionic?

With Fitbit rolling out new hardware, you have to do some homework before purchasing a new fitness wearable.

Few wearable manufacturers have been in the fitness band game longer than Fitbit. Over the years, Fitbit has added more than just fitness bands to its lineup. The Fitbit Ionic is a smartwatch mixed with a fitness band, mixing exercise tracking with wrist payments, notifications, and more. On the back of that success, Fitbit recently unveiled the Fitbit Versa, a surprisingly similar piece of hardware.

The Versa sports a similar design, almost identical feature set and runs a version of the Fitbit OS that's rolling out to current Fitbit Ionics. With all that in common, there are only a few differences that affect your decision of which device you should go with.

While Fitbit has a wide range of devices, the only one that's a real competitor to the Ionic is the new Versa. If you want a Fitbit that isn't a smartwatch, Fitbit has quite a few options. But when it comes to smartwatches, it's either the Ionic or the Versa.
