I couldn't find this in the catalogue so this could be the new price. Otherwise, I guess the deal lasts until the current catalogue ends on September 18th.

This is not a dig at the Op, as it is indeed a good price. But the Ionic is not a very good product IMHO.
In the space of 1.5 years, I have had 3 replacement units from Fitbit. I encountered freezing, failure to charge, constant drop sync, interrupted notifications, etc. All these issues are widespread if you google it.
Given it is a modestly priced expensive piece of tech, I expected more from Fitbit.
It is a shame… as when it works as it should, it is a great product. It's just a shame mine (x 3 units) never performed consistently.
Buyer beware.
is yours an ionic too?
Yeah, I'm up to my 3rd ionic now (had 2 replacements sent by Fitbit).
That's a shame, my experience is the opposite, have used it with 4 or so phones and never had the issues you did.
I have had mine replaced too, but the replacement hasn't skipped a beat (esp when measuring my heart!)
I'm tempted to buy one as a spare, (well, I am an OzBargainer) but then realised that wearable tech is changing so fast that this would be a silly idea.
PS - R.I.P. Pebble watches
What's the battery life on these?
up to 4 days, depending on settings, I.e having screen light up automatically or manually, Whether or not you want to receive notifications.
@krisrey: I get nearly 7 days. I loved my pebbles, but they died. I haven’t had to replace my ionic, yet, and might buy another one of these as backup.
Agree. When they work they are awesome. I'm on my second one in 2.5 years. I must admit, their customer service was pretty good when my first one died.
That I will agree also…. Their CS is good with issuing replacements.
Only wish my actual user experience was as good as some of the others
but good to know that the orange version is much better than the smoke grey version, if you go by the ratings scores on the individual JB Hi-Fi product pages !!
Amazon has the orange color for $199 plus cashback, delivered in 1-3 months.

Actually in stock now
I have a Samsung Gear2 which is six years old and I love it. Unfortunately it's not compatible with new phones so I need to replace it.
Can anyone tell me if this fitbit allows you to make and answer phone calls?
No it won't. It will alert you to a call and you can answer or reject the call but you'll have to physically talk to the phone.
Also had mine now almost 2 yrs with no issues so far. Use it for sports under my socks and shower with it.
Good price, had mine for a couple of years and love it.
