Fitbit Inspire 3 Is on Sale for $80 Right Now
The Fitbit Inspire 3 is a simple, budget-friendly fitness tracker that takes key health metrics into account. Beyond simple activity monitoring , Inspire 3 offers comprehensive sleep and nighttime health tracking, including metrics like breathing rate, heart rate variability (HRV), skin temperature, SpO2 and resting heart rate (HR)—useful features for anyone who wants to get a clearer picture of their health and daily habits. Plus, Inspire 3 comes with a six-month Fitbit Premium subscription that unlocks advanced metrics, personalized information, stress management, guided breathing exercises for relaxation, and more. One thing to note, however: According to this PCMag review, the Inspire 3 only tracks blood oxygen saturation while you sleep.
Its AMOLED color touchscreen is small but easy to navigate, clear and responsive, with adjustable brightness and multiple display timeout options. The font size cannot be changed, which may cause problems for users who prefer or require a larger font. Compatible with Android and iOS devices, this tracker is easy to set up: download the Fitbit app to your phone and follow the on-screen instructions. According to the manufacturer, the Inspire 3 is waterproof to 50 meters and has a battery life of up to 10 days, although with normal use, a single charge takes about eight days and a full charge takes two hours.
While the Fitbit Inspire 3 offers a number of benefits, it also has its limitations. Notably, it can’t log water consumption directly from the tracker, a convenience offered by more expensive competitors like the Garmin Vivosmart 5 . Users can manually record hydration levels and food intake in the Fitbit app, but this can be a bit tedious. What’s more, according to numerous reviews , the Inspire 3’s optical heart rate sensor measurements can sometimes be low or inaccurate, which is a common complaint among budget fitness trackers. The device also lacks built-in GPS, meaning you’ll have to connect your phone to accurately track your stats during outdoor activities, which can be a deal breaker for runners and cyclists who prefer to track their routes without carrying their phones.
