"you can grab a fitbit for $50-60 and it does almost everything the smart watch does. ... Especially if you re just starting out."
"I like the price of the inspire as well. When I need to replace it won’t break the bank!"
"I just have a cheap Fitbit inspire. ... at that price point I don’t really care"

"the best part is the battery life vs other fitbits. I can get a full week pretty easily."
"Battery lasts me like 5 days regularly which I love."

"And I've managed to wear it pretty consistently for almost a year now, to the point when I take it off to charge when I shower I miss it. ... This is genuinely the longest amount of time in my entire life I've managed to go with having something on my wrists/hands."
"I find the Fitbit Inspire fairly non intrusive ... If you don't like the strap it comes with there are sellers that sell alternatives in other materials (Etsy has folks that make ones out of natural material. And I think it can be worn as a pin / dongle"
"the actual watch bit is also pretty small so doesn't bug me all that much"

"It does seem to overestimate calories burned though. ... It will overestimate what you burn. This is the opposite, I think, over what you " will take". Most research suggests about 25% off."

"knowing that you need to switch to using Google instead of whatever the original system had been by early February 2026, I've been looking into other companies to see what they have to offer and what could possibly work best for me."
AsleepYellow3 1.0I bought one in December of last year and I really like it. I wanted something simple and it was a nice upgrade from my Inspire 2. I like how I can track specific workouts from the watch and the modes it has. It just works with my lifestyle.
ConfidentBar1989 1.0I'm here to ask the age old question, has anyone found a fitness tracker that is reliable with reading your heart rate through tattoos? I had a fitbit inspire 2, it worked most of the time but not always (particularly it would never read my heart rate accurately when on the stairmaster). Now I have an ultrahuman ring, thinking it wouldn't be an issue on my finger since I only have a single letter on it. I always make sure the sensor is on the opposite side when I'm working out, but the tracker is all over the place and overall, very inaccurate. At this point I'd love to add something that I could wear even just for workouts, but I'm tattooed on both wrists, all my fingers, my stomach.. I'd love to know if you've found anything that works. TIA!
Dangerous_Junket8027 1.0Yeah, i love my fitbit inspire 2. People go on about smart watches and im sure theyre great, but…those are very expensive. you can grab a fitbit for $50-60 and it does almost everything the smart watch does. Especially if you’re just starting out.
HistoryPatient8633 1.0I have a Fitbit Inspire 2. It’s nice and slim. You do get used to having it on, but there are rare times I just cannot bear it being on me (usually while trying to sleep) and when that happens I just take it off. Buying a different strap would probably help tbh (there are elastic fabric ones available that are supposedly more comfortable) but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
infinite_wanderings 1.0I have a used Inspire 2 and I love mine too :)
Large_Tuna101 1.0My inspire 2 is the best Fitbit I’ve had with which I’ve swam a few times and it has best water-lock feature I’ve personally experienced. You can press both sides any time (even and especially useful AFTER starting a workout) to engage it with. I couldn’t speak for your specific needs though as I basically just swam and didn’t check what it logged. I’ve had charges 4 and 5 and sent the inspire 3 back because it lacked this key feature which is essential for me.
leafandvine89 1.0Mine too! And the battery lasts like two weeks before I need to charge it
LoserMoose 1.0The Fitbit Inspire 2 is like $10-20 on eBay these days, depending on what sort of condition you want (I'm going to scuff the thing no matter what, so I have low standards 😝). It's a seriously great little device. It's unobtrusive and waterproof, the battery lasts forever, it tracks heart rate and sleep in addition to steps, and offers nice little movement reminders if you so desire. For *my* bouncy gait, the step tracking has been accurate in every test I've done, even when pushing a cart or stroller. My wife's experience is different: She tends to glide rather than walk, and sees more undercounting than I do.
OrchidLover2008 1.0I agree about the Inspire 3. I've had mine for several years and use many of its features every day. I think it tracks steps better than any of my husband's Charge models (3,5,6). I liked my Inspire 2 and bought the 3 only because I could swim with it. I gave my Inspire 2 to a friend and she is still using it.
Original-Age-4027 1.0I had an apple watch and switch to a fitbit inspire 2 a year ago and couldn't be happier. Doesn't have the bells and whistles but it tracks all of the important stuff.
