Fitbit’s new Ionic smartwatch and Flyer wireless headphones

Fitbit’s new Ionic smartwatch and Flyer wireless headphones

The first true smartwatch from Fitbit is here, along with a pair of wireless headphones built for working out. Cherlynn Low gave the $300 Ionic a try and found it surprisingly well-rounded.

Unfortunately, the Flyer wireless headphones didn’t have the same impression, failing to justify their relatively high $130 price.
