Fitbit Inspire 3 Fitness Tracker – Advanced Health Insights with Stress Management, Workout Intensity & Sleep Tracking, 24/7 Heart Rate, Includes Small and Large Classic Bands… by Fitbit

I love Fitbit and I was so sad that the straps on my old one broke off and couldn’t be put back on so I had to get a new one and this one’s pretty good. It’s got a long battery life and it is good for exactly what I use it for which is steps, but it will also track sleep and do a lot of other things And the price point is pretty good too. I’m sorry that Fitbit isn’t a company anymore, but if I can keep getting them on Amazon, I will be happy.

I really love this watch. It has a slim profile and a nice little touch screen. It tells the time. I can see my phone’s notifications easily so I don’t have to pull out my phone each time. I like the heart rate tracking function. I don’t use most of the other activity functions but it has a pretty good step counter too. It has a find phone function that works well as long as you are within Bluetooth range. I’ve needed that a couple times so far. I’m not crazy about the stop watch feature because you can’t start it then go back to the other menus, like looking at the time, without stopping the stop watch. If you can, I haven’t figured it out. Battery life is good, I usually charge it once a week or so. It’s been completely water resistant when I shower and even had a water lock you can turn on so the water droplets don’t trigger touch input. It seems durable enough for regular wear and use, but I wouldn’t test crushing it on purpose. App pairing was pretty easy the first time but when I got a new phone I had a little trouble unpairing and repairing to the new phone, I ended up factory resetting it but it isn’t really a problem because all your info is stored in the app and cloud. Sleep tracking seems pretty accurate. I do wish I could customize the features a little more, like it does activity tracking with “zone minutes” but I really don’t care about that, but it still shows up as I tap through the metrics on the watch home screen. Same with calorie burning. Not sure how accurate the calorie burning tracker is.

All in all it’s a great watch. I wanted a modern style smartwatch without getting something very expensive or really bulky. This is the right watch for the right price.

Works great for me. I had to replace my Fitbit one so I choose this. I don’t always wear it on my wrist. I can put it in a holder and attach it to my pocket. So far it’s waterproof too.

I’ve been so happy with this purchase! I wanted something to track my steps and sleep without being expensive, bulky, or overly complicated and this fit the bill perfectly. It’s simple, comfortable on my wrist (tip: wear it a little loose), and easy to use. I’ve told myself for years that I need to walk more, and this is the one thing that finally got me moving. Accountability at its best!

I bought this a while ago and waited to write a review to see if it improved or if I hated it less. I don’t – I just hate it more. Save your money and buy something else.

It’s terrible. I wanted an inexpensive fitness tracker I could also wear in the water. I previously hade a Luxe and while it wasn’t the greatest, it was functional. I could easily track my 6 most used fitness types, set intervals, and easily change bands.

Fitbit took all that and ruined it.

CONS:

1. Took away the exercise shortcuts. Instead it now tracks your three most recently used, even if it wasn’t an exercise you did recently. Like the way it tells me I’m on the elliptical when I’m actually doing my hair in the morning. Why? Zero reason. People have submitted notifications regarding the lost functionality and Fitbit is more than aware that people don’t like it. The answer has a gag-inducing “maybe you’ll find something new” as you have to scroll down the endless list of exercises you may never do. I will never ever ever need snowboarding, but I have to scroll past it to get to all my common workouts which lucky me – are all toward the end (walking, weights, workout, yoga, Pilates). Fitbit’s aware because people have been complaining on the forums – they just don’t care.

2. You can’t choose an interval other than 30 minutes. Or – you CAN choose one, it just won’t work. You’re supposed to be able to go into your no longer functional exercise shortcuts, choose interval, and then set the kind of interval you want. And it’ll look like it worked. I guess because the shortcuts no longer work, the ability to change the interval length doesn’t either. And once you hit those 30 minutes the app stops tracking the intervals. You’re done. Freaking useless.

Edit: ok you CAN set intervals, but only using the device itself, which for this model means a super tiny screen with even tinier numbers. Setting the intervals on the device face is incredibly frustrating versus being able to use the app to do so. So still a con.

3. The band! Fitbit took what was the easiest band to change out and over-engineered it into the most complicated crap imaginable. It used to be super easy to change out bands – click the inside bit and the band released, pop the other one in. Now it has this bizarre complicated pin thing that’s just about impossible to set correctly without 3 hands and which is NOT secure. If you don’t get the stupid pin in just the right place it’ll come out and the band may disengage. Why? Just why????? I cannot WAIT to be attempting to change out a band only to have that pin thing go flicking out somewhere and getting lost, rendering the band and Fitbit useless.

4. The new charger. Instead of the easy attach/detach magnetic one, this one clicks on and then you have to get your thumbnail between the charger part and the Fitbit to pry the two items apart. Fun for people with arthritic fingers!

Pro: can be used in the water. That’s it. Everything else about it sucks so so so much.

I don’t want to sink several hundred dollars into an Apple Watch. I just want a decent little fitness tracker that tracks my basic exercises and doesn’t enrage me every single time I wear it. This ain’t it.

Bottom line: don’t waste your money
