Excellent Entry level Budget Tracker

If you are in the market looking for an entry level Budget friendly fitness tracker to track your workouts and health metrics, Fitbit Inspire 3 is the tracker/smart watch for you. Priced just under 100$, it is one of the budget entry level tracker from the Fitbit which does not upset us.
Pros:
1. Vivid colors to choose from - Morning Glow (Orange), Lilac Bliss (Purple) and Midnight Zen (Black)
2. Sleek and Lightweight - With 1.55 inches (39.32 mm) Length, 0.73 inches (18.6 mm) Width and 0.46 inches (11.75 mm) Height and just weighing 17.69 grams (0.039 lb), this is one of the thin and lightweight trackers available in the market. It feels like we are not wearing a tracker at all. Its a good choice for people who don't like wearing thick and heavy watches.
3. AMOLED color touchscreen - AMOLED color touch screen is a big aesthetic upgrade when compared to that of the Inspire 2's grayscale OLED. The display looks crystal clear and so appealing. Fitbit has done an excellent job in keeping the Watch interface simple yet stylish. The touchscreen is quite responsive to the swipes and there is not much lag as one would expect for a 100$ watch. Though the text on the display is tiny it is clear.
4. Brightness levels, Light sensor and Timeout - There are 3 brightness levels - Dim, Normal and Max. A built-in light sensor helps the screen adjust for optimal visibility based on lighting conditions. While Indoors the screen is bright and easy to read. But the same is not the case with the outdoors. There are four display timeout options: Default, Medium, Long and Always on.
5. Waterproof - Inspire 3 is Waterproof to 164 feet which means it can be worn to the pool or one doesn't need to worry about when doing rigorous workout and need not worry about the sweat.
6. Fitness and Health tracking - Inspire 3 features an accelerometer, optical heart rate monitor, and infrared sensors for overnight blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements.
7. Battery - Inspire 3 has the best battery life among all the Fitbit trackers with an impressive battery life of about 8 to 9 days on an average. But it depends on the usage. For example if we turn on the Always on Display the battery will last only between 3 to 4 days.
8. Charging time - It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the tracker from 0%. There are no USB adapters provided and the USB charging cable is short.
9. Compatibility - Inspire 3 is compatible both with both Android(Android 9 and above) and iOS(iOS 14 and above).
10. Exercise app - The app supports up to six activities on the device (at a time) including Walking, Running, Biking, Swimming, Workout and Treadmill that are pre=installed. We can add the following shortcuts to our tracker via the Fitbit app - Bootcamp, Circuit training, Elliptical, Golf, Hike, Interval workout, Kickboxing, Martial arts, Outdoor workout, Pilates, Spinning, Stair climber, Tennis, Weights and Yoga.
Cons:
1. Small watch screen - With the watch being tiny it comes with its own disadvantage of the screen being too small for reading the data as well as the limitation of how much of data can be viewed without scrolling. This is a known limitation that one should be aware of before buying. There are few things one have to compromise and for this watch it is definitely the screen size and amount of data one can view. Having said that still one can see the data in the Fitbit app on their phone if they want the detailed metrics.
2. Font size - Font size cannot be adjusted which might be an hinderance for someone with poor vision and sometimes it will be difficult for even the other people to read the metrics during the activity itself.
3. Outdoors - While using this watch in the outdoors in bright sunlight, glare is the biggest problem to read the text on it.
4. No SpO2 (On-demand reading) - One can get the details of the overnight SpO2 for the past few nights but it does not come with an on demand SpO2 measurement. It would have been an excellent tracker if this was included.
5. No GPS - Though this watch has plethora of features for the price we pay, it would have been nice if GPS was included. This will be a drawback only if we decide to leave the phone at home. If someone is going to carry the phone with them especially during outdoor running or workout, we really need not worry about this tracker lacking the GPS feature. Though the tracker will provide an approximate distance later when it connects with the phone, one has to keep in mind that due to the lack of GPS the measurement of distance will not be accurate.
5. Certain features like Daily Readiness Score, a metric that indicates if our body is for the workout or needs a days rest is available only with a Premium Subscription which costs $9.99 for a month or $79.99 for a year along with access to 90-day health metric trend graphs and more than 1,000 video and audio workouts, guided meditations, healthy recipes and more.
Functionality
1. To Wakeup - Double tap on the screen or rotate the wrist towards the face
2. To view the Metrics - Swipe up to view the tracker's battery percentage, daily snapshot of health/fitness stats including steps, distance, Active Zone Minutes (a Fitbit metric for weekly activity tracking), hourly activity (step count that hour), heart rate, sleep, SpO2, and exercise (number of days vs. your weekly goal)
3. To access apps - Swipe left or right on the display. The Inspire 3 offers the following apps: Alarms, Exercise, Find Phone, Notifications, Relax, Settings, SpO2, and Timer.
4. To access Settings - Swipe down from the clock face, including Sleep Mode, Do Not Disturb, and Find Phone.
5. To go back to the previous screen - Swipe from left to right.
6. To quickly go back to the clock - press the haptic buttons on the left and right sides of the case.
Final verdict:
Costing less than 100$, this Fitbit though it is tiny and does not contain a bigger screen it packs a lot of features/information except a few of them like GPS or on demand SpO2 measurement. It all depends on what one needs. If someone wants a compact watch/tracker with minimal features then Fitbit Inspire 3 is the best bet. Instead if you want a bigger screen with more information, bigger text and additional features like GPS, ECG and SpO2 measurements then Fitbit Charge 5 for an additional 50 bucks will be a better option. Overall this tracker fits both my hand as well as my pocket. I am very pleased with the purchase as I don't really need the GPS or ECG. I would definitely recommend this tracker to anyone who is in the market for a small, budget friendly tracker that doesn't compromise on the quality or features provided.

This is my first Fitbit, I’ve had an Apple Watch for the past few years and was really frustrated about having to charge it every single night. I got this Fitbit, because it is the newest model, it’s slim, and it is affordable. I wanted a smart watch that was slim on my wrist and did not need to be charged as often. I get at least a few days of battery life on a single charge wearing it all day and all night.
Pros: long battery life, slim form factor, under $100, 6 months of Fitbit premium, has blood oxygen monitor (I was surprised), has live heart rate tracking, very accurate workout tracking, detailed sleep tracking.
Cons: silicone band can give sensitive skin a rash or irritation, but that is with any silicone-style band (can easily buy other bands on Amazon), it is a little weird to navigate since the screen is narrow, but it does not hold me back at all, I mostly use the app to see results anyways. Charger uses pins, so it can be a little frustrating to line it up and get it snapped on and off.
Overall, I give this Fitbit a 9.5/10. I love it a lot and would definitely recommend to friends and family who are looking for an everyday, long lasting fitness tracker.

Attractive and comfortable. Really helps keep track of heart rate and steps. Monitors sleep time., heartbeat and breathing. Gives a fairly accurate sleep score ability to see weekly, monthly and year report. Battery life long... about 6-7 days without recharging

I love my Fitbit 3 aspire!! Makes me think about walking and making my steps. I also love the sleep tracking. I can actually see hours of REM sleep, light sleep, etc. plus it gives you a score from 0-100 on your quality of sleep. It gives you up to date heart readings, beats per minutes, breathes per minutes, heart rates thru out the day. I look at it every AM to check how I did the day before.

I got this fitbit to track the calories burned when working out versus buying an $300+ Apple watch. I love this fitbit WAY more than I thought I would! I love how it tracks my sleep, my calories burned, my steps, etc. I also love how it has an option to send my notifications from my phone to the fitbit. If you don’t want to pay all that $$ for an Apple watch & mainly want to use a device to track calories burned, steps, HR & sleep this is the device for you! The battery life is amazing I maybe charge my watch once a week & it doesn’t take long to charge fully at all! I love this device & I have no complaints! I highly recommend!

I researched all the fitness trackers currently on the market and settled on the most basic Fitbit because it had all the features I wanted and even a few more. It’s small and doesn’t interfere with my life and it tracks everything that I needed it to track. It’s wonderful.! The only thing worth mentioning is probably relevant to all fitness trackers that you wear on your wrist. It does take a little getting used to for sleeping, but the sleep tracker is worth it.

I absolutely love this watch. I’ve had it on for about two weeks. Battery life is accurate and I enjoy being able to track my steps, Calories burned, and all that other good stuff. Is slightly annoying that some of the features are locked by a subscription.

I’ve been really happy with my Fitbit! The size is perfect—not too bulky, and it’s comfortable to wear all day. I got it on sale, so it was a great value for all the features it offers. It tracks everything I was looking for, including steps, heart rate, calories burned, sleep, and a variety of exercises. As a runner, I especially appreciate the GPS, which works pretty well for tracking my routes and pace. Overall, it’s been a great fitness tool, and I’d definitely recommend it!

I world give 5 stars of this band in decent colors. This lilac is awful. It's a cold, too bright non-color. Lived my Luxe orchid pink band. I had to buy an off market band. Otherwise, it's working vet well and I'm getting a week on the full charge.

I love it! I really appreciate the weak buttons located on the side of the watch. The Luxe didn’t have this option and I was really missing it. This option comes in handy when you wish to extend the battery by turning off the auto wake option. Love the color of the band which feels more comfortable than my last version. Just remember if you wear it as often as I do, to cleanse the band so that it doesn’t irritate your skin. Enjoy getting the steps!

I love my Fitbit. My other one was stolen so I got this to replace it with. I love the color! I codes this Fitbit because it holds a charge for 10 days. That is importance to me. I get style, great price, and long life on the battery.
