Set up Fitbit Ionic For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS, Android, or Windows 10. If you don’t have a smartphone or tablet, you can also use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC. Your Fitbit account asks for information such as height, weight, and gender in order to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal. That product, the Fitbit Ionic, is still available, for $249. Rather than refreshing the Ionic, Fitbit has since followed with more mainstream products at the $199 price point: the Versa in 2018.
