While there’s no concrete information, or even any leaks to rummage through here, there are still a few new features that are almost a given for the Fitbit Ionic 2.

Given that Fitbit’s currently in the process of being acquired by Google, it’s hard to imagine that this would lead to anything less than larger ambitions down the line. Originally designed to compete with the then newly released Apple Watch 3, the Ionic is still Fitbit’s only premium wearable device, and one that’s aimed at the more serious fitness crowd that the likes of Garmin and Polar have tapped into. It has been almost three years since the Fitbit Ionic hit store shelves, but we haven’t given up hope that Fitbit is working on a sequel to its high-end fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid.
