What customers say about "Features"
Fitbit Ionic Unisex Smartwatch
- Automatic sleep tracking - and, it can shut off notifications once sleep is detected.
- The features are easy to use and access, A few trial and error and you will get how it works. Often use functions are just a few tabs away. You will familiar with it almost instantly.
- Slow performance from time to time.
- Can't connect to WiFi, any WiFi, Home, work, with or without password. Any firmware update needs to be done over Bluetooth and it takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. It is ridiculous.
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch
- Excellent the sensors to detect the different activities like running, moving, or sleeping.
- I really like the features on the Samsung watch. My Fitbit was nice but it seemed outdated. The auto exercise could activate a little sooner to match the treadmill numbers.
- Enjoy wearing it daily and using all the many features.
- The features available pass competitors not only with clarity of picture but also when using watch for phone calls and texts.
- Nice features able to answer phone calls and texts and biometrics. Much better than the fitbit surge.

What customers say about "Power"
Fitbit Ionic Unisex Smartwatch
- I have a nice, convenient metal surface where I can stick the charger for easy retrieval.
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch
- Great that it can hold a charge for almost 3 days were others can only last 1 or 2 days.
- Very good on battery usage. Once it is charged to 100% it status charged for at least 2 days!
- The battery life is good, charges very fast too.
- Husband loves it. The charge time is awesome and it runs smoothly.
- After about three weeks the watch failed to charge. I touched it and it was hot to touch. I returned it and got a Garmin.
- I like the watch, but it needs charged more then my Fitbit blaze did.
