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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
