Inspire 3 Health and Fitness Tracker – Activity, Heart Rate, and Sleep Monitor with Smart Notifications

Had a Samsung watch for years that finally kicked the bucket. Debated on getting another & decided on this fitbit instead. Don't regret it yet. It gives me all of the info & functionality that I used my watch for the most - tracking steps, workouts, sleep, heart rate, HRV & oxygen. I even get text notifications just like my watch. Not necessary, but good for a quick glance if I'm in the middle of doing something. You do get a free trial membership for all functions, but it's not necessary for basic info. It all depends on what you want to get out of it. I'll probably maintain an annual membership since it's actually cheaper than what my watch line costed through my cell carrier.

a perfect fit for someone with slim wrists, it’s extremely comfortable for me as someone who struggles with texture and difference. the screen is pretty small, but extremely functional, would recommend it for someone with slimmer fingers though. it isn’t the best for general info on screen but the app is perfect for that. the sync is extremely easy to connect with phone, i’ve only had to fix it once since the purchase (sep 30th, it’s now oct 11th). battery life is insane, only charged it once on the 30th for a night or half a night and is only now at 46%. quality reflects price, very nice. got it to track my heart rate for my possible pots/dystanoumia and so far it’s helping!!

I bought the Fitbit Inspire 3 as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! He absolutely loves it. The design is sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear all day. The battery life is impressive, and it tracks everything from heart rate to sleep patterns with great accuracy. He also enjoys how easy it is to check his daily steps and workouts. Overall, it’s an excellent fitness tracker, and seeing how much he’s enjoying it makes me even happier with my purchase.

Exactly what I needed. I have small wrists and the size and fit is perfect. Paired easily with my iPhone 14. Comes with a 6 month membership. Monthly cost after that is $10, not worth it for me. I use this mainly for steps and basic sleep data. It needs charging only once a week. I did notice it was using a lot of cellular data, so adjustments in my settings needed to be made to cut down on that. Overall I am satisfied with quality, price and functionality.

I’ve been using the Fitbit Inspire 3 for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s been an excellent upgrade. The main reason I chose this model is because it’s waterproof. My last Fitbit didn’t hold up well to water, especially after paddle boarding, but this one has passed the test with flying colors. I’ve taken it out on the water several times and had no issues at all. It feels durable and reliable, which gives me peace of mind. What I also love is how sleek and lightweight it is. It doesn’t feel bulky on my wrist, and I can wear it all day without noticing it’s there. The fitness tracking features are great steps, heart rate, sleep monitoring, and all the basics you’d expect are accurate and easy to check. Plus, I can see notifications from my phone, which is super convenient. If I had to point out one downside, it would be the screen size it’s a little small, which can make reading messages or data slightly tricky. That said, for the price and the overall quality, I think it’s a fantastic value. I’m really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, waterproof fitness tracker.

Summary - The Fitbit Inspire 3 is a very good fitness tracker. It counts steps, monitors heartrate and is even a sleep tracker. It has pretentions of being a smart device but don't be fooled. If you use this as a simple tracker that links to a smartphone to download results you'll be very happy with it. It's from a well known brand, has a decent battery life and good accuracy. If you want a smart device then buy an Apple Watch as the Inspire 3 won't do that properly and you won't be happy. I like it but know it is limited and I'm happy with that. Pros - Battery life. This will depend upon how you use the device. I have turned off all of the notifications and other stuff. I link the device to my phone once or twice a day for a few minutes and I don't compulsively check the screen. In this minimalist fashion I do manage 10 or 11 days between re-charges. That's very good for such a small device and I don't have to remember to recharge it every night so I'm happy too. Accuracy - It's pretty good. Steps correlate with other devices as does heart rate. Sleep tracking is reasonable and apart from a well documented tendency to confuse deep sleep with light sleep it is consistent. These devices are only indicators and not proper medical devices. If you have sleep problems then a proper sleep polysomnography is what you need. But this is good enough. I've never been able to tell what the sleep score properly correlates too though. There are days when I can have a great sleep score and feel tired by 10:00am. it's just a number not a way of life. The indifferent - The screen is small and the choice of displays isn't very good. I found one that works for me and I see no reason to change it. The screen is bright but very small. Another reason not to think this is a replacement for something like an apple watch. Fit - the Inspire 3 comes with two soft, silicone straps. It is comfortable to wear. Just be advised that the device needs to be tight to the wrist to get proper readings. It can slip to a loose position and not be able to measure anything. This means that you'll get maybe 9 out of 10 nights of sleep records then a junk one. And, if you're lifting weights in a gym it will be useless for heart rate monitoring in those conditions. Otherwise it's fine. The Bad - Only to a phone? My old fitbit used to link to my desktop where I could use a large display to see the data. New ones like the Inspire 3 only link to phones. This is a problem with getting older but why do I have to look at a tiny screen (my phone)? Guess fitbit couldn't be bothered to maintain the desktop software. Fitbit Premium - aka the "con". So fitbit want to charge you a monthly fee for premium features. How dumb do they think I am? I don't see any benefit to this and certainly not for a "mere" $9.99. Don't fall for this. The Inspire 3 is a relatively inexpensive device from a well known brand. it doesn't need the extras premium can give and you don't need to give Fitbit the money. It's just another wasted subscription draining your wallet. Conclusions - There is a lot to like about the Inspire 3 if you have the right mindset. it's well made, comfortable to wear, reasonably accurate and with good battery life. It is a good tracker. It's not a substitute for a proper smart watch even though Fitbit want you to think it is. If you're happy to let it be a tracker with limited contact with a phone it will meet your needs. And meet them well. As a tracker it's highly recommended. As a smart device with a premium subscription it's a joke. Recommended with use case caveats.
