GPS
Both Wearable feature an integrated GPS. This will provide you with a higher accuracy than your smartphone's GPS. This is generally also called Connected GPS. GLONASS is only supported with the GTS 2.
Heart Rate Monitor
A fitness watch without a heart rate monitor is basically useless and not advisable to buy. That's because your heart rate is one of the key elements of different calculations. For example, many devices without a heart rate monitor claim to count your calories burned too. That number will hardly be right without having access to your heart rate.
Comparing the Amazfit GTS 2 and the Fitbit Ionic, both devices offer the heart rate monitor function and score in our books. On top of that, both will monitor your heart rate 24/7. Some devices only do that when you press a button, which is practically speaking rather useless.
Measured values
Both Wearable offer you the possibility to record your sleep time. On top of that, they also allow you to do a sleep analysis.
Bracelet
Being able to change your fitness watch band is a great advantage. You'll only have to worry about the color of the device itself, and not the color or material of its accompanying watch band. For pretty much every device, you can get cheap watch bands that will fit your device. You can make use of this advantage with both devices of this comparison.
Smarct functions
Getting call, text, or other notifications is a feature that both tools have. Often times, this feature is only possible with an Android device. iOS user can be left behind on this. Sending QuickReplies is not an option for either one of the two devices.
The interface, or the dial of your watch, can be changed with both, the Amazfit GTS 2 , and the Fitbit Ionic.
Amazon (Alexa) voice control is supported with the Amazfit GTS 2, which is a comparitively small bonus that the Fitbit Ionic doesn't offer.
Being led through your workout by your device is only supported with the Fitbit Ionic. That's a difference to the Amazfit GTS 2, where this feature is not supported.
Contactless payment
Contactless payment is a highly useful and more in demand than ever technology. Many Wearable already offer it. Being able to do this from your wrist is even more convenient than using your smartphone or a credit card. the Amazfit GTS 2 and the Fitbit Ionic both offer this useful feature. With the GTS 2, Alipay is being used. The Ionic works with Fitbit Pay. The provider Alipay is however only available in Asia. In Europe and the USA contactless payment cannot be used.
