"I like the price of the inspire as well. When I need to replace it won’t break the bank!"

i work at customer support with fitbit and, knowing the really bad and really good things in depth, i do really recommend the inspire 3. is simple, it has all the basics but tracking floors but they barely have issues.
Fit bit inspire 3 is all I need. Buy it for 80 or 90 bucks and for free you get sleep tracking and a whole bunch of other metrics. It also gave me warning signs that I was about to get sick. Resting heart rate jumped and heart rate variability decreased quite a bit.
I went scuba diving with mine on - it's great! If step count is super important, you can wear it on your ankle. It misses steps when my arms are fixed, like when pushing a shopping cart.
My inspire 3 survived & recorded my scuba dive when I forgot to take it off.
I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE it!!
Yes, I bought the Inspire 3 specifically to record my laps in the pool. Works great!
I like mine. There are a bunch of reviews online that say the Fitbit inspire 3 legs behind in step count accuracy but for my purposes it's perfectly good. If I know that the step count I've gotten is likely less than the step count I've taken, I'm pretty happy with that. I use the food tracking, exercise tracking and step counter the most. My son swims and for that reason I bought him a charge 6 because that one can track swimming but I didn't need that so I stayed with the inspire 3. I like that there are a lot of band choices for the inspire 3. I've had mine for just shy of a year and I've been pretty happy with it.
I bought an Amazfit Helio strap because I thought it would be better than my inspire 3. It's not better. I wear my inspire 3 on my bicep and have done so for years now. Best value for money wearable and about as accurate as an iwatch. I went back to my inspire
I have an Inspire 3 too and just check - you can check your HR while the timer is running! I really like mine too. Way cheaper than 90% of alternatives people give, and I absolutely detest the need for a subscription. I'm disappointed it's is now Google's property, but not enough to get rid of it. Yet. I got mine second hand for I think €80 and it's been going strong for a year. I want to add: it has "zone minutes" which you might be able to set yourself, not sure, but it celebrates if you have a high HR, somewhere between 120-130 for me, based on my day. After one minute, it'll buzz to let you know you e "done great!". For me that means laying my ass down wherever I am at that moment
I have the exact same one. I actually quite enjoy it. There is an equation you can use to figure how many calories your body uses simply to exist, without any extra energy expended. I do believe it factors that in. I've tested it in many ways. I punched and failed my arms while sitting, stomped my feet in place, swung my arms while sitting and actively watched the step counter as I step at various places. For me, that part is completely accurate. I've even sat still and watched the calorie counter raise extremely slowly. I'm a bigger girl and based on my kinda sedentary lifestyle, my body needs around 1500 calories to sustain. My watch tracks me a little over 3000 calories a day, on my 12 hour work days. Almost 19000 steps. I'm a CNA so my job keeps me pretty active the entire shift. Then I come home and deal with the kiddos and pets. my days start at 6 am and end no earlier than midnight. So given the difference between the daily total of calories and the amount to sustain me, I'd say my "active calories" is pretty active. I compare my pulse and O2 to the different oxygen meters at work and those are usually pretty accurate too. I feel like as long as you log everything as accurate as possible, it's gonna give you decent results. I've already lost four pounds in a short period of time. I'veade drastic but healthy diet changes. Swapping sodas for only water, eating small amounts more frequently and only eating til the hunger goes away. Tracking calories is essential. BURN MORE THAN YOU CONSUME! I'm no expert but when I buckle down, I can make the weight melt off. Then I get lazy and get fat again. Trial and error over many years and attempts. Never give up though and find what works for you while keeping as healthy as possible.
Yep i just got it and it's awesome
