Fitbit Inspire 3 Health &-Fitness-Tracker with Stress Management. Workout Intensity. Sleep Tracking. 24/7 Heart Rate and more. Midnight Zen/Black One Size (S & L Bands Included)

Handy and convenient way to track my stats.
Lightweight and has Interchangeable color wristbands to fit my style.
Fitbit is a good investment in keeping track of my fitness lifestyle.

Excellent quality. This is my 2nd fit bit. I keep a spreadsheet for my steps and miles walked and this is perfect. I like the watch feature. I highly recommend this.

Having this watch has allowed me to be consistent with my health goals. The screen displays stats that I can customize. The app allows for customization for the display screen. The watch has option for O2 sat monitoring which is very insightful. You can also track your heart rate and the app develops your baseline which is neat to see. If you wear the watch during sleeping, the app shows you how long you slept and how long you were in light sleep, deep sleep and REM cycle. It’s able to provide a “readiness” score based all on your stats. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this watch. It’s not too large and not too little so it is fashionable. Charges very quickly and holds its battery.

I love the Fitbit Aspire 3. I love everything about it. First charge lasted me 10 days. Could have been 11. But now the second charge. First day is already at 85% in less than 24 hours. Hopefully the battery doesn’t die out quick. It was bought brand new and not used.

I bought the Inspire 3 in May of 2025. I have loved it. However, last night I charged it which seems to have caused it to totally quit working at all. I really liked the battery life. It's features were just what I needed. I fear that reordering this same watch will not last past 7 months. If it would last, I would certainly give it 5 stars.
Update: I picked-up my watch to throw it away and it "lit up". I had previously tried to make it respond so many times. I charged it and it is working great! I guess the moral to this story is "don't give up on a Fitbit" I have now changed to 5 stars.

I have a simple 1 year battery Garmin VivoFit 4 for many years. I now wanted something a bit more with HR. I used ChatGPT to help research. Decided on the Inspire 3
Very happy with it. Battery is lasting about , 10 days, I don't use the phone notifications
It's nearly as slim and small like my Garmin. Highly recommend.

Comparative review: I happily replaced my Versa with the Inspire. The Versa always felt clunky on my wrist, would clank on my desk or get caught in my sleeve. Not to be dramatic, but the Versa annoyed me daily. Happily, the Inspire feels weightless and I forget I'm wearing it. It fits and feels great. Same fitness, health, and sleep tracking features as the Versa. And since I never used the phone or payment features, I don't miss that functionality. Battery life is much better on the Inspire. Both the Versa and Inspire connect easily and sync to my phone (Samsung) without issue. I like the Fitbit app and features, which is why I chose to replace the Versa with another Fitbit. Highly recommend the Inspire if you're looking for a comfortable, petite fitness tracker with a long battery life.

This will be my second fitbit as I had the Inspire 2 and it unfortunately died on me after 2 years, was sadly heartbroken as I wish it lasted longer so i bought the Inspire 3.
Honestly have no complaints for this one at all
Tracks everything pretty well. Good Connectivity, Good Heart Rate tracking, decently accurate, havent tested the waterproofness of it yet though and the brightness is great

Only con is that I hate that fitbit requires a subscription, I feel like thats kinda scammy
Overall a good health tracking and overall watch
very sleek design also which I like

Does a Greta job at reading vitals, really easy to setup and actively tracks heart rate. I have a bigger wrist and they have an adjustable extra wrist wrap to put on that is bigger, and it is comfortable. For me as someone that never wears anything on my wrist it took a bit to get used to, but after awhile I stopped noticing it was even on me. One charge on low screen brightness can last about 5-7 days with no charge. For its price I really enjoyed this product. Does its job and it does it great!

I already have this fitbit and love it, so I bought this one for my mother. The box was already opened when it arrived. Hopefully, there won't be any issues with it.

I love how this watch keeps me moving or alerts me if I’m not enough. The stel count is pretty spot-on though I noticed it adds some here and there when I’m sleeping or sitting if I move a lot. The heartbeat tracking feels reassuring. It’s super light and comfy, so I forget I’m even wearing it. Simple, reliable, and makes fitness feel effortless.

I bought these watch because I had to monitor my blood pressure 24 x 7, because of blood pressure dropping too low because of my stage 3 kidney failure. So far it allows me not to worry about my blood pressure as much, it alerts me if it drops too low or is too high, also I am required to walk at least 2 to 3 miles a day to help with my blood pressure, with the step counter it shows me and alerts me if and when I have reached my goal. If I go over it also alerts me if I have done too many steps and to stop and rest because too much walking causes my feet and legs to swell up because of my kidney disease. Plus love the reminder to drink water every hour or what ever time you need too. I am only allowed so much water or liquids a day. I chose this watch because it fits perfectly with small wrist and can be worn on either arm wrist.

Caused a red mark on my wrist. After wearing the Inspire 3 for one month, I found a red spot on my wrist.
...
(Edit Added) I searched for the problem on the web and found that the red spot is caused be either contact dermatitis or by allergic reaction and has been often reported by Fitbit wearers. After cleaning the Fitbit and band with alcohol and detergent, no more red spots have occurred. I also loosened the band a couple of notches. I think the manufacturer should include a warning with the packaging of the Fitbit. I have increased the rating to five stars.

The Inspire 3 device itself seems extremely well-designed & put together, fairly intuitive, easy to use, functional & reasonably accurate. It is far superior to the other fitness watches I've tried.

The problem was setting up the app, a rather exhausting job that took nearly an hour on the phone with Fitbit tech support. Several years ago I bought a Fitbit Charge 5 & setting up a Fitbit account used to be fairly easy, but now it's a bit more complicated. After Google bought Fitbit they now require you to set up a Gmail account in order to create a Fitbit account to track your activities (unless of course you already have a Gmail account). Another downside is that you must agree to let Google use your data for whatever purposes they like, which was almost a deal-breaker, but I turned off most of the settings, permissions etc.

But once I got through the setup, the Inspire 3 seems to work quite well. The only function I'm not sure about is sleep tracking, which is very difficult to measure accurately. But It at least gives you a ballpark idea of your sleep cycles.

I'm confident in recommending the Inspire 3 for most basic health metrics.

I'm giving this 4 stars only because I just received it this morning and obviously it'll take a while to collect all the data. But in terms of aesthetics and wearability, it's great! It's so sleek and doesn't look/feel too bulky on my tiny wrist. LOVE the pink color! I wanted something that wasn't as advanced as an Apple Watch and not as expensive as the Oura ring so I think this is the perfect alternative to both. I don't normally wear watches so it'll take some getting used to but so far I love it. It was really easy to set up too and didn't take long to charge.

It's been about 10 years since I last used fitbit. Wow, it certainly has evolved. The metrics are amazing - lots of detail way beyond steps and heart rate. The heart rate monitor is accurate, and the battery really does last 10 days between charging. It syncs quickly and easily to my iPhone via the fitbit app, and logging food on the app gives you a great way to track calories burn versus calories consumed. Very much worth the price.

I love this thing!
Durability: I accidentally washed with my clothes and it’s perfectly fine after.
Functionality: Love the find my phone feature. Worth paying annually for fitbit premium to get sleep stats. Very on point with step count. Enjoy the timer for resting between sets at gym.
Comfort: I bought an ankle strap that locks in the same way the og strap does so it’s still able to read my HR and sleep patterns. Kinda hurts in some sleep positions when worn on wrist but when worn on lateral portion of ankle, I don’t notice it when sleeping.
Battery: I only have to charge it about weekly.

I absolutely love my new Fitbit Inspire 3 pink Women's watch, and it's already activated and on the charger to charge,and all I have to do is install the Fitbit app, and now I can see if my Fitbit is charged by going to my Fitbit app and in the upper left hand corner is the Fitbit Inspire 3 battery percentage, BRILLIANT,only one problem is my wrist is too big for the current strap that is in place, I don't know how to remove shorter strap and install the long strap, any suggestions appreciated

I have been a huge fan of Fitbit since 2010 (and until Google bought them out!) and have worn just about every iteration of Tracker (not Watch) they've made! My favorite for size, comfort and convenience so far has been the Luxe, but they stopped making it some years ago. Now it's next to impossible to still find any new-in-box Luxe's even from outside sources. Just refurbs, which are a crap shoot for reliability (been there, done that). I tried the Charge 5 but it just feels too big on my wrist, as I am a petite woman with little wrists.
I finally talked myself into trying this Inspire 3 when my last Luxe finally started to give out. So far...IT'S A WIN.
I thought I'd be annoyed with the tracker being a little thicker than the Luxe, but actually, once it's on it's really not at all noticeable. It has all the same basic functions as the Luxe, and even shares the same choices of clock faces which I appreciate. One thing I like about the Inspire 3 over the Luxe is that it has touch sensitive "buttons" on the sides which wakes up the face, instead of having to tap the screen to wake up the face. As my Luxe got older, it became harder and harder to wake up the screen by tapping it, even with the "auto wake" option on. Just a light touch on the sides of the Inspire 3 wakes it right up! The screen is nice and bright and easy to read. So far it has been a very easy adjustment from my old beloved Luxe to this Inspire 3, and it makes it even better that I got it at a reasonable price! I feel it is a great value for the money. I wish they made the tracker pebble itself in a variety of colors, or better yet, out of metal like the Luxe. But I guess I can live with black.

The ONE thing I DO NOT LIKE about this tracker, is the connectors/connection for the bands! I don't know why they would make these connectors the way they did! Instead of using a tiny button/toggle you press on the base of the tracker to release or snap on a band, this one has a tiny metal pin on the band that must be wrangled carefully, one side first and then the other with your finger nail to get it to click in on the tracker. I have small hands and fingers and it's even a challenge for me. Someone with bigger fingers or no finger nails will REALLY find this a challenge. I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with this! Why didn't they just design it the same way the Luxe and the Charge 5 & 6 work? And if the little metal pin manages to slip out of the band, you can no longer use the band. To me, it's literally the only thing I don't like about this tracker, and was almost a deal breaker for me at first. Luckily, I don't change bands very much and I really want a smaller sized tracker, so I'm keeping it.

The Inspire 3 is an upgrade from a fitness tracker obtained through my health benefits plan. The tracker itself was okay, and very similar in appearance to the Inspire 3. It was let down by a horrible app (Wearfit 2.0) that's so overloaded with ads that it's practically impossible to use.

I like the Fitbit app--lots of detail and easy to scroll through and check previous days. The one area the app suffers most is that set up information for the device can be confusing to find: what wrist is the device worn on? Stride length, etc. The set up details on the app could be better organized.

The Inspire 3 is comfortable to wear, the screens are easy to read. The wrist band on the Inspire 3 is short, and I'll be changing it to the longer band that comes with it. My biggest problem with the Inspire 3 is that it's very sensitive to arm movements and counts too many of them as steps, even though I wear it on my non-dominant wrist.

My main interests are sleep and step tracking. Sleep works fine, step tracking is hit or miss if every time I lift my arm it counts as a step. For $70 I call it a fair value, but if I were more comfortable wearing a larger fitness tracker while I sleep, I'd look at one of the Amazfit watches.

I bought it primarily to track sleep patterns.

It works pretty well, but there was one night, out of 5, so far, where there was a gap in the graph results (photo attached). The battery had plenty of charge, so I don't know why there was a gap.

I wish that it was possible to view the results on a Windows computer, but the app only runs on Android (or an Apple device). I know I could use some sort of Android emulator like Bluestacks, but the adware is too annoying. Anyhow, I got around the problem by viewing it on my Android tablet, which has a large enough screen.

I wish it was possible to customize the the dashboard-like results display. There are a lot of functions that I never plan to use and would like to hide.

Overall, a good value.

I purchased this product on August 1 2024. About two weeks ago, the pin in the buckle somehow got on the wrong side of the buckle so it doesn't work. You cannot put it on your wrist so its useless. There is no way to fix it. So I decided to buy an upgraded fitbit, the Charge 6. It simply does not work. I charged it but it won't turn on. It won't connect to bluetooth. The alleged "button" does not work. I called support and got nowhere with a "customer service" rep so I am returning the Charge 6. I'm not getting a replacement because I no longer have any faith in this company. The Insipire 3 was purchased on August 1, 2024 so they wont do anything about their broken Inspire 3 product which broke through no fault of my own. Also, the person I spoke with was very difficult to understand and hear. Long ordeal getting connected to a customer service after searching the web site for a phone #.

UPDATE: About an hour or so after I wrote this but before it was on here, Fitbit emailed me and said they’d make a one time exception and would replace the inspire 3. They mailed it to me. Should get it this week.

This is definitely a step down from the Fitbit 2 in the capabilities that matter most to me. When Google bought FitBit it seemed like the natural progression of things was to get more expensive but not necessarily more useful. With Inspire 3 *only* phone notifications go through: not any app I select. The timer is capped at one hour as opposed to multiple. Zone minutes tracking seems more easily prompted but you have to tell the watch you’re done exercising for it to quit counting your movement as part of pace calculations. Not a horrible product, the robustness of it and comfort are still there. But that’s about it.

I am fitbit fan and usually use the charge line of their products. I decided to try inspire and overall it’s not as good. Biggest issue is heart rate. During a walking workout the heart rate jumped all over the place from 89 to 197. If you want something to track miles steps and general activity this tracker is good. Anything heart rate or calorie-wise find something that is a better quality.

Ordered two and one came new in a box with all accessories, while the other was thrown in a bag.. nothing else and I assume someone else returned the product. I like the watch so ordered again and got the third in a sealed box - will return the other.

I bought this watch because I wanted a watch / fitness tracker that does three things well:
1) Keep track of my steps.
2) Receive text message and phone call notifications.
3) Have a long battery life where I don't feel like I am charging it every other night.

I prefer a watch that does not have apple pay, a speaker, a bigger screen, or other features/factors that make it feel more like a second phone on my wrist. That being said, this watch does have some have extra features that I do like.

The main pros:
- The battery life is great. Three months into owning it, I am at about a 6-7 day average between charges.
- It appears to be waterproof so far. It does have a water lock mode as well, but I usually just take it off before showers or swimming.
- It is nice and light. I enjoy the slim profile compared to bigger bulkier watches. It is overall comfortable.
- It is pretty durable. I am pretty rough on it as far as wearing this when working outside or doing things that could potentially scratch it and bang it up. It does have two very small scratches on the screen that are 100% my fault. The scratches are not visible when the watch face is on - only when the screen is off.
- The band is secure. I owned and returned the amazon fitness tracker because the band for that watch constantly came undone and the replacement bands were no better.
- I was not expecting to enjoy or even use the alarm feature on this watch, but I use it constantly. It helps wake me up without waking my wife up.

The main cons:
- There is not a 'watch face' available that 100% of the time shows how many steps I have for the day. I currently have the watch face that shows the number of steps when I initially wake the screen, but I will sometimes accidently bump the screen and the number of steps will cycle to my hear rate, or my zone minutes, or something else. I wish there was a watch face option where the number of steps was the only metric shown on the watch face minus the time and date. Of course, my number of steps is usually only one or two swipes away, but I would prefer zero swipes. This is not the end of the world to most people I am sure, but it is annoying for me personally considering what I wanted out of this watch.
- Cannot see overall number of steps for the day during a walk exercise - just the number of steps on the current walk exercise. You need to enter the Fitbit app on your phone to see the number of steps total for the day.
- When I allowed my Google account to merge with the Fitbit app, the exercises on the watch got a little goofy. Meaning the exercises do not display on my watch like I have it ordered in the app.

Overall, I do like this watch and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a watch to do the three things I mentioned above.

Long time supporter of Apple Watch, but after mine aged and gave out, I decided to give Fitbit a try. I like that they offer smaller screens compared to Apple. I also really loved the idea of using it to track my sleep, however it is VERY rare that it tracks my sleep properly. I often toss and turn at night so I don’t know if the watch gets confused, but it defeats the purpose of tracking sleep given how inaccurate it is. If I wake up to use the bathroom, it tracks that time as my wake up time, although I go back to sleep shortly after (screenshot included).

Heart rate gives a reading one minute then the next, it can’t pick up on it. This is frequent during workouts, in addition to sleep. I’ve tried loosening it, tightening it, have tried multiple places on my wrist to place the watch, but can ONLY pick up on my heart rate if the watch is so close to my hand that if I flick my wrist up the screen vibrates and comes on. This is especially awkward when you’re a light sleeper like me and am often blinded in the night even with “Sleep Mode” on. The “Auto Wake” option is often switched between on and off, yet I don’t change it. Not sure how it happens unless I hit something during activities.

The battery charges fully in usually under an hour, however although I have notifications very minimal, battery has never once lasted the time advertised. I have to charge it about every 3-4 days depending on how many workouts I tracked.

I like the app layout, it shows me all my goals on one page that can be modified for your own goals. It gives you a 6-month free trial and is $79.99 after. You have access to workouts and mindful content obtained from several resources/apps, such as Aura and Calm. It connects to my phone great with no issues, but you do have to leave the app open (running in the background) in order to allow it to sync in real time. It gives you notification reminders if you happen to close the app. Set up was super simple and the actual quality of the watch is durable. I just wish it could monitor everything a bit more accurately (I think all my issues stem from the watch not being able to consistently pick up on my heart rate). The weirdest thing it does is think I’m swimming EVERY time I’m folding laundry LOL. Workout for the day? Complete, per Fitbit.

I purchased my Fitbit on 4/30/25 and just purchased a new Apple Watch today because I don’t feel the Fitbit is accurate and am tired of dealing with the guessing game of steps, sleep, etc. If you’re thinking of switching like I was, not worth it.

I am very disappointed with this Fitbit. I have had it less than a year, and the top of the numbers won't show when displaying the time. I had an Inspire 2 before this one and used it for over 3 years before it stopped working. I purchased another right away because I really like all the information I can get from it. But I am disappointed, I really can't afford to buy another one. I am 77 years old and this helps keep me aware of the amount of exercise I get each day.

Buy the Inspire 2. I loved my old watch. The Inspire 3 has trouble finding a heartbeat most of the time. Some screen options are worse than others. There is not choice of click view where you can see heartbeat and time with ease.

When the battery is at 20%, that notification stays on the watch until charged which is annoying.

I had a few wrist bands left for Inspire 2. Despite being the exact same size, they made it so it is not compatible with the 3.

Good price was available. It seems accurate. Do need to sync or update fairly frequently. The fit is good. It is lightweight when wearing. It has a modern look.

I dropped this on a hard floor, but no cracks or scratches. It vibrates when I have it charging and hold in both sides, but nothing makes it display. I'm moving to another producer.

Now I've ordered the same product, to replace the first one, but I also got coverage. The Inspire has arrived but I can't figure out how to open the box without destroying it (the box). Hope the manufacture can advise.

Got this watch to start counting steps. It had lasted almost a week after it being fully charged including sleeping in it, which is pretty neat. The app is very helpful in keeping you up to date when it’s synced. I personally did not like the silicone band, I also have a big wrist. The bands take getting used to when putting on for the first couple of times. The only real negative I have is it does not sync well with my phone. It takes a good bit to update everything and sometimes I can’t use the “find iPhone” button unless I have the app open on my phone. Other than that I personally like it and does what I need for the price.

I expected to receive 4 sections of bands. A buckle strap and an adjustable strap in both small and large. Unboxing my Inspire 3, the small bands were attached to the black case and also included in the package was a single large adjustable strap. I thought I was missing the large buckle strap. After checking, I realized they only provide one buckle band. I gave a 4-star rating because the description and packaging said "includes small & large size bands" but didn't explicitly state how many band pieces are included.

Inspire 3 comes with two small straps and two large straps. Pink and black. I received one small pink strap and ONE HALF of a large pink strap. 😵‍💫(not to mention, I don’t like pink!) 😂 gave a good rating because the Fitbit is good.

I got this because I’m attempting to get more healthy and track my sleep. It was super easy to connect to my phone and has stayed synced ever since.

The watch itself seems to be pretty good quality and the charge lasts about 10 days. It is fairly accurate, but does have trouble automatically detecting my workouts for whatever reason. The notifications can honestly get a little annoying at times. I’ll have just been standing working on something for a while and I sit down and get a notification that I need to stand up. So that’s weird.

Overall, good but basic!

I like the Fitbit but 1st of all the band that it comes with is very small! I thought it was just me but my wife even tried it on and it was tight on her as well. I can only buckle it on the second slot of the strap! But I could deal with that or get a new strap not a big deal to me!

The real issue is the inaccuracy! I was driving a tow truck all day today! Tow trucks & pretty much all trucks are very bouncy! I watched the step counter go up every time we went over a bump causing my arm to move! Even while we were on the highway doing 70mph! I could understand if we were stuck in traffic doing 2-3 mph & my arm moves up & down it could mistake me for walking but at 70 mph?

It's a shame because I really liked it & I'm getting more into fitness now & wanted a reliable pedometer & something that would track approximately how many calories I burned & I thought I found the solution!

But don't take my word for it! Seriously! Try it out yourself! It might work perfectly for your application!

My Fitbit Alt died. I needed a new one because I love it as a watch and step counter. I don’t like the bigger Fitbits. This is definitely serving its purpose. You can get texted messages also. It does do a lot more but not into all that. I did get a different band so it’s more stylish. Also, very easy to sync with my old account I had set up already. I gave it a 4 star because sometimes when you are tapping to get messages, different formats appear.

I’ve previously had a Charge 4 and then a 5. Like them both, but all good things come to an end. Typical life span a little over 2 years. I’m ok with that. What I really like about this tracker is the smaller size. When my Charge 5 died (tried to wash it off under the faucet), I looked into the Charge 6. Reviews were not reassuring. So this one had more positive reviews and thought I’d give it shot. So far it’s been great. Easy to use, display responds well to touch, screen is legible, and it supports just what I need. Plus, it’s less $$ than the new Charge. At this point very happy with my purchase. Recommended. Will follow up with updates as needed.
Update 5-10-24. So within three days battery dropped to 19%. A disappointment given the description states up to 10 days. So I made a few changes in the watch configuration and fully recharged. After36hours battery is at 66%. A week would be acceptable but anything less a disappointment.
Update 5-13-24. Turned off always on display. Battery at 44% after 6 days, not bad. Happy I bought this tracker over the Charge 6.
Update 6-1-24 Ok, I really like this tracker. Soooo glad I bought it over the Charge 6. It has yet to disappoint me and Im getting at least 8-9 days from a charge. Best part is I like the small profile and simplicity of the display. I see the large display watches and trackers and wonder why anyone would want such a clunky device on their wrist. Now if you wants apps, fancy displays, emergency calling, and all parameters on one screen, this tracker is not for you. So glad I made this purchase.
1-25-25. So the original Fitbit functionality was great throughout the past 9 months until the hinge point of the strap failed. The plastic where the pin secures the strap to the watch fractured. What to do? I tried some epoxy, worked for a few weeks. So I just ordered a new watch. Unfortunately, the watch gave me less than one year of service. Had it not been for its otherwise excellent performance I would have considered abandoning Fitbit. But I went and ordered a new one. Seems the watch is a disposable item with a life expectancy of less than a year. Too bad, seems few things in life have consistent longevity. I’ll have to see how long this one keeps me happy. I’m not going to deduct a star at this point. We’ll just have to see how this goes.
4-11-25 I really like this device. it has performed well. I've been reading a few negative reviews. Seems people expect too much from a small rather inexpensive fitness watch. This device is great as a tracker but is not without fault. Keep that in mind and you won't be disappointed. I think others feel they should get the equivalent of an expensive electrocardiogram or sleep results that you can only get from visiting a sleep center. Ain't gonna happen. Just use the device as it is intended, as a tracker. Overall, once the tracker has accumulated enough data on your habits, it will serve as a reliable reflection of your exercise and health. I think it is worth it and would buy another.
7-10-25 A few more months of use. No complaints. Good tracker. I sync it up with my iPhone and iPad. Sometimes it goes ok other times I need to pair it again. But not a major issue as it does catch up with the latest data. I rely on this compact tracker quite a bit for my steps, distance walked, exercise time, and general sleep quality. it also seems stop on with my resting heart rate. I still like it very much and would buy again. Another update 11-24-25. Watch very reliable thus far. No issues. Again the small profile of this watch is a real plus for me not to mention 8-9 day battery power. Use it mostly to track steps. I have a goal of 11000 steps / day and I’m on track with one month to go for a full year. Will buy another when this fails but I’m hoping to get more than one year out of this one.

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.

I bought this primarily for tracking steps and heart rate. I wore it for the first time today and i have an idea of how many steps i make during my standard morning commute. This device has recorded twice as many steps as my old apple watch (which isnt holding the charge for lengthy periods, hence this purchase) and my old Fitbit One. Its even adding steps while im sitting at my desk, maybe from my arm movements. Both my oldies are usually showing approximately the same amount of steps. Im not sure why this happens but i think this device measures arm movements as a step. I think i will return this Fitbit as i prefer some degree of accuracy in my steps and this is far too way off.

**edit** I haven’t had it too long but now they’re pushing everyone to go to Google befor Fitbit becomes obsolete. Now I know why the latest updates are terrible. I really liked it at first. They can’t just leave things alone. It seems fraudulent to sell a product then change it to almost a completely different thing. Updates are one thing, but this is junk.

I like to get a general idea of my steps and sleep so I’m okay it’s not going to be completely accurate. If you have any dexterity issues, you’ll need assistance with the tiny metal bars that attach to Fitbit. Not a whole lot of options for alternative bands since this is such a wonky band.
It says it dims but it’s still way too bright if I want to check the time at night. Not really dim, which I had to get used to after my last one.
I liked my Fitbit okay, the purple is pretty. I like the smaller face.
I liked syncing my info after a workout or at the end of the day. Now the app is all one color and is difficult to read. The sections all look the same so it takes longer to find what I want to look at. It hurts my eyes and isn’t just plain terrible. Hopefully they change it to something better but I absolutely would not buy again if I knew the app would change so something that terrible. I wish I had gone with a different brand now. It’s pushing users towards using Google account. I just want the simple fitbit. Just the trackers, not the push to buy services I don’t want or need.
Sometimes it likes to tell me I have 150 zone minutes when it’s more like 25. Syncing can be an issue. Steps can occasionally be way off. But I think that just happens. More forgivable than the terrible new app layout (sure makes me feel old and cranky!).
Look into other brands before buying a fitbit.

I bought this to monitor my sleep. I suppose it does it well enough.

Currently, I have a free trial for the premium membership with Fitbit, so I get more details about my sleep patterns.

The drawback on the watch screen is that the numbers at the bottom are soooo small. I mainly look at my heart rate in the morning upon awaking or in the middle of the night. I need to use glasses and/or a magnifying glass to see that. If your eyes are young eyes, then you won't feel as frustrated.

If you have trouble seeing small numbers, a bigger screen would be better.

Love the bright yellow.

GPS: I saw a review crying about needing to have phone on body in order to have GPS tracked. The features of the Inspire 3 compared to other models are CLEARLY listed in THIS product description. This model has CONNECTED GPS (means it will talk to phone), or you can choose a model with GPS built in (no need to have phone on you). ZERO surprises here.

STEP COUNT: I find it accurate, leaning toward underestimation, which is fine. Never have I found it to over estimate. Seems about as accurate as all the other Fitbit products I have used over the past 10 years. If you find it over estimating for whatever reason, then raise your goal.

SCREEN CLARITY: good color, clean clear presentation. I have been using their smart watches the past several years, so I wasnt sure what to expect from their "low end" basic model. Very clear. Very different (and better) than basic models of 8-10 years ago.

SCREEN USE: very receptive to my touch. I can tap the screen and see the time, date, and steps, and then scroll UP to see: date, battery amount, steps, distance, floors, hourly activity progress, heart rate(actual and resting), sleep and sleep score, Sp02, menstrual info, exercise progress. Scroll DOWN, to see alarm if you have one set, or want to turn off. Along with other options. Use SIDE button and swipe left or right for other information and settings stuff.

BATTERY LIFE:. Lasts forever. I have my watch set to only turn on with a tap. I didnt want to see it every time I flicked my wrist. That also takes away from batter life. There are likely other settings and such that decrease battery life, but as of right now I have been using it since July 9th, and it is the 17th at time of writing this. I have 32% battery left. 10 days is likely accurate.

BONUS: although it says that it does NOT have ECG app for AFIB detection, it does. Sorta. "while it can't take an ECG like the more expensive Fitbit Charge 5 or newer smartwatches, it will monitor your heart rate and alert you if it detects an irregular heart rhythm".

WATCH BAND STYLE: I wish I noticed this or thought to ask before purchasing. This has the PIN release style watch band. Since I like to swap out my bands frequently, I am not a fan of the pin style. Made extra annoying as this is a small unit and therefor extra small pin system. That being said, I havent had any real problem swapping out. Mostly just a nuisance. However, I went ahead and ordered a Charge 5 because that has the push button release. I like how the Fitbits are now just including a size small as well as a size large band size. I have 7" wrist, and prefer the large band over the small. Gives me more wiggle room. I also like the regular traditional watch band style (slots with pin, then slip through securing band-- like any old school watch). Some models use a slip through band which always made me think it was unsecure. So I always just bought new bands of preferred style. Overall I can wear this just fine as is.

WORD OF CAUTION:
The 4 star rating takes into account that I dont see in the description any info pertaining to the "pin" release style of band. Maybe I missed it. I also factor in that this CANNOT be used in conjunction with other models. I figured I could swap between the Charge 5 and this, depending on what I want to wear that day. Nope. This will have to be cleared from app before another one could use. I noticed this when I was putting this online to replace my Fitbit Sense. I had to deactivate the Sense to add this. And now that I have a Charge 5 coming, I will have to deactiveate this. I wanted to be able to try them out side by side to determine which I like most before giving one away. Boo/hiss.

LASTLY, I decided to stop buying the smart watches, as in the Versa or Sense. I found that I wasnt using most of the additional features. None lasted more than a year or two for me anyway. This Inspire 3 and Charge 5 have all that I want, and nothing I dont. Comes down to personal preference. I have a Garmin Vivosmart that has lasted forever, but it never seems as accurate for basic movement (good for intentional exercise), basic walks, and the app is yuck. Whereas I really like the Fitbit app. I like the product, but are basically throw away items for me (whereas my husband is still wearing his Fitbit Blaze from several years ago).

I'll update if I experience anything worth sharing, especially if anything negative.

This worked excellently for the first month. The app offers many insights like heart rate variability and activity level, and I like the detailed information about sleep stages. I also liked how you can track different exercises, though I wish there was a stationary bike option. There is also a timer, stopwatch, and guided relaxation feature built in. When comparing this to how many steps my phone tracked, it seemed pretty accurate. I would like it if there were more watch faces, including horizontal ones, and the ability to make custom ones. Only one watch face showed seconds, which I wanted, but the design itself didn't look very good. The wristband also seemed to attract dust easily.

Still, I was happy until a few days ago, when the screen started glitching while scrolling. I also noticed the heart rate would sometimes jump unreasonably high, like 160, while doing something as simple as walking at a slow pace (I've struggled to get as high as 160 while running on a treadmill). This is a problem because it will cause the Fitbit to overestimate how many calories you're burning. I didn't notice these issues in the first few weeks. Luckily, this started two days before my return window but if it had happened a little bit later, I would have been stuck with a glitchy device. I'm not sure if this was only an unlucky defect with mine, but it's something to keep in mind. I might try rebuying because I was happy with the device before the glitches started.

I bought this becuase i really wanted something simple to just track my steps and my sleep cycle and I love it ! You get a free trial for 6 months on the Fitbit App and it’s pretty cool. It keeps me motivated and I’m happy with the product. The only thing about this watch I disliked was that the charging cable wouldn’t connect so I contacted Fitbit directly on thier website and they sent me a replacement cable free of charge (they mentioned that I had a limited warranty) which is nice. They delivered it fast so I’m happy with it overall.
Oh and the battery on this is AMAZING. I charge it every 4-5 days, so it’s very durable.

The shape of it is odd. It’s like a rectangle at the top and curved at the bottom which makes it sit weird on your wrist and the thickness of it doesn’t help at all. Not sure if I’m keeping it or not. On the + side the app works well and the features of the watch work. Just bad design I guess.

Update: My headphones keep cutting out with the Fitbit connected and I can’t disconnect the Fitbit unless i click forget this device which basically means I can’t use it anymore. When I tried to contact Fitbit they said: we’re aware of this issue and are trying to resolve it. I need music to workout so this is kinda a done deal
