Customers are delighted by the Inspire 2 Fitness Tracker's long battery life, ease of use, and comfortable size. Many appreciate the accurate heart rate and sleep tracking, along with the ability to monitor steps. Positive feedback also highlights the tracker's reasonable price and attractive design. A small number of users experienced difficulty with the band's fastening mechanism.
Bought this because my Charge 2 display broke after 4 years of continuous use. The Inspire 2 is a smaller display and, depending on the templates you download on the app, can have more details showing on the home screen. There are a few things that I would complain about but are not major issues: first, there are 2 touch sensitive nodes on the sides that seem to go off when my wrists are bent back and this happens very often which makes me think the notifications have gone off; the second is that I can’t adjust the vibration intensity on the watch so I miss phone calls and messages a lots (I keep my phone on silent for work purposes and my Charge 2 used to display if someone calls or messages me with the right amount of subtlety). This is still a great buy for me (~$60 + tax) as it is ultimately for fitness tracking. All the features for heart rate, steps, and (this one shows) activity time are what you’re really looking for when you’re buying a watch like this. Ultimately, it’s lightweight, compact, and doesn’t use up excessive power like other smartwatches. It also charges fast (~20-30 minutes for a full charge) and it takes about 4-5 days to run out of power (2 days for smartwatches). I would definitely recommend for someone to buy it for fitness purposes.

When I first bought the Fitbit Inspire I was shocked of how small it came, which works for me don’t have to worry about something being bulky on my wrist all day. It’s comfortable to wear, sometimes forget it’s on my wrist. This purchase I’m glad I made, I had the choice between another Apple Watch or a Fitbit. I love my Apple Watch but some of the futures the Fitbit offers I love, even though my Apple Watch will be something I love dearly. But Fitbit came and changed the game for me, I can wear it at night and it’s not in the way. I don’t have to worry about the battery life too much, I still be able to see my messages, along with calls. Even though I’m losing a lot of futures that I get my from my Fitbit, it’s fine because just see the little notifications motivating me to do more step is something I enjoy the most. And the main reason of getting the Fitbit was to track my steps through the day, even with a job that doesn’t allow us to wear smart watches.

Pleased for the price. I didn’t want to drop hundreds for an Apple Watch…I just wanted something to count steps and heart rate. I don’t wear jewelry or watches but I don’t notice it’s on —very light and comfortable. The step counter is very accurate and can also work with GPS so if you don’t want it on your wrist, you can remove band and clip the unit somewhere on your clothes. Separately tracks resting and active heart rate. Battery life is strong…I recharge every couple weeks. Has water lock option. It seems very accurate and the app does a good job of compiling stats and representing them in an intuitive graphical way for longer term review. (You have to connect to your phone via Bluetooth to update all stats so) There are some other options but here’s my main criticism…the fitBit has a number of other menu options but given the small face, the symbols and activation/use of those options is not very intuitive and there isn’t an instruction book with the watch OR in the app. (There is a help menu with link to ‘help articles’) Again, at today’s prices I would recommend this, but I would expect as prices come down, I would consider the greater utility of an actual smart watch.
