![]() ![]() We think that’s plenty of bang for your buck. Each tracker also comes with a free year of the Fitbit Premium Membership, which provides data-driven personal recommendations as well as access to hundreds of workout videos from Fitbit and meditation and mindfulness lessons. ![]() And you won’t have much worry about charging the Fitbit Inspire 2, as it can hold a charge for up to 10 days we never needed to recharge it throughout our testing, even after a few days of heavy use.įor less than $100, the Fitbit Inspire 2 is the best choice for anyone who wants better clarity and more robust data about their health, fitness and wellness lifestyle. Our tester, a self-professed problematic sleeper, found this tracker to be the most comfortable to wear throughout the night (an issue we had with other trackers, which you can read more about below). ![]() One of the most significant - and interesting - features of the Fitbit Inspire 2 is the sleep tracking, which lets you know when you wake up throughout the night, how deep or light your rest is and how much time you spend in the REM cycle. We found this information to be helpful, mainly as it gives insight into how many additional calories to burn to meet goals. Despite that hiccup, we did like how the Fitbit app told us exactly when we were in our most active, fat-burning mode and when we were at rest. This wasn’t an anomaly pegged only to Fitbit, as none of the trackers consistently identified strength training. While the Fitbit Inspire 2 did recognize when we were doing cardio, it read strength training as king (our assumption is that’s because our heart rate would only rise here and there during those sessions) when we biked, it picked it up as swimming. This was something that, as we’re now working (and exercising and cooking and existing 24/7) at home, we found to be incredibly helpful on several occasions, the feature (which you can also find on the Garmin and Withings trackers) gave us the prompt we needed to drag ourselves out of our seat and walk upstairs or grab the pup for a quick around-the-block jaunt.įitbit claims that it can automatically tell what type of fitness you’re partaking in, from swimming to biking to more than 20 other activities, but we didn’t find this claim to be entirely accurate in our testing. You have the option to turn on a notification to remind you to get in at least 250 steps per hour to meet your movement aspirations for the day. You can also set and log your water goals. A quick scroll will show you active minutes (when your heart rate was raised), your average resting heart rate and additional data. When you log in to your Fitbit app, your home page automatically displays a semicompleted circle of how many steps you’ve taken for the day. You can also set up step goals (we aimed for 10,000, for instance) as well as weight loss, water intake, wellness, sleep and more. Your height often determines your gait - the length of your step - and the Inspire 2 is supposed to track differently based on which hand you’re using (though we did not notice a significant difference in tracking when we tested on different wrists). For better accuracy, it’s essential to fill out your personal information, including your height and whether you’re wearing the tracker on your dominant or nondominant wrist. Just create a free profile, sync via Bluetooth, charge your tracker and you’re ready to get started. Setup was a cinch and took place within the Fitbit app, which is available on Google Play, iTunes or Microsoft. For those looking for more heft and slightly larger faces, the Fitbit Charge 4 or Garmin Vivosmart 4 might be more ideal.) Despite its slightly smaller screen, we never struggled to read our stats in the Inspire 2, even while quickly peeking during intense workouts. (We concede that comfort is wholly subjective, but we ultimately found the slimmer Inspire 2 less obtrusive while wearing and therefore think it would be comfortable even for those with smaller wrists. Some of the other trackers, like the Fitbit Charge, were just slightly bigger, but still big enough to notice the difference. Its sleek build ensured it didn’t catch on clothing (or anything else) while working out, and the thin screen seemed less prone to bumps and scratches, so in a way it felt less shatterproof than others. Though both Fitbit models we tried excelled during our testing, the Inspire 2 was slimmer and less complicated to both set up and understand than the Fitbit Charge 4. Since first releasing fitness trackers in 2014, Fitbit has been considered the most accessible brand for all health warriors - from novices to experts.
