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)

I bought one of these in November last year after spending $100 on three very promising alternatives....they sucked! I don't request a refund on Junk under $50, as I am much more satisfied with SMASHING them with a 4-pond sledge (I've done this three times before purchasing a Fitbit exercise watch...Had I only known??? So, Fitbit had to face my very new confirmational bias with ALL Health watched. Garmin did set the bar really, really high, but they are really, really proud of their product. From my perspective, this is an absolutely awesome product for we "duffers" (buy the subscription if you are a hard-core exerciser). I don't know why they don't tell you this...but...- DON'T purchase the monthly suscription if you are just wanting to know your weekly stats.- The App needs to connect to your device from time-to-time (I don't allow Google carte blanch- You HAVE to "SYNCH" with your device a couple times a day (especially if you won't allow it "automatically"- I gave this a such a sad review (confirmational Bias), that they refused to post it because i didn't understand- Once I understood how to update the various parameters, It was sooo consistant, I bought one for my wife- VERY, Very Important! Write that serial number down (on the box) and tuck it away (if they fail, it's within 90 days)- Google buying FitBit only shows their business sense, In this instance..."Don't hate the player...Hate the game)- Until Garmin "Gets It"...FitBit has one satisfied and repeat customer.

I wanted something to track my sleep and fitness but hate any kind of jewelry and didnt want to spend more than $100 so after searching I thought I'd try This fitbit inspire 3. So far I'm extremely happy. I can barely notice it on, it's very accurate and was easy to setup. The screen is small but, that is what I wanted since I track everything on my phone and that's what makes it unnoticeable when I'm wearing it. The only thing wrong so far is it quit giving me a sleep number last night but, I'm sure it was a glitch and reset it. The battery also seems to last about a week which is good.

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.

I've had my Inspire 3 for about 4 years now and numerous trips. While other models have had issues with software etc, I've NEVER had an issue with it. It logs my sleep accurately, with Google health the data syncs across the Fitbit app, Google Health app, Samsung Health, and my Withings app. The battery life is best when I have the watch band tighter but even loose it's lasted 6-7 days. I charge it when I need to shower. It does what I need it to do without being too big on my wrist or needing to be coddled. I've found the official wrist bands to be the best for my skin (there are others on Amazon you can try). The sleep measurement was my main focus and I'm glad it's still logging everything correctly.
