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

Former fan of the LUXE, this one is an excellent replacement! But bands are tricky to attach
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.

compare & contrast by looking at chart in middle of product description, choose wisely
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.

As advertised. Legit item.

En lo personal me gusta mucho las pulseras como monitor de Salud. Fitbit detecta los ejercicios en cuanto los haces sin embargo llevo 3 pulseras que al año un mes de su uso dejan de funcionar sin más. Por lo que compruebo que están programados para lo mismo y esto es muy poco ético. Creo que todos deberían de saber esto de la marca
