Great replacement bands!
I picked up the Google Fitbit Inspire 3 to keep better track of my daily activity, and it’s been a great little fitness tracker so far. The Morning Glow and Black color combination looks really nice and gives it a clean, modern appearance. I liked that both the small and large bands were included, making it easy to find the right fit. The tracker is lightweight and comfortable enough that I sometimes forget I’m even wearing it. Setting everything up was pretty effortless, and the app connected to the device without any problums. I enjoy checking my steps, activity levels, and other stats throughout the day because the information is easy to read. The battery life has been excelent and lasts much longer than I expected. The screen is bright and clear, even when I’m outside during the day. I was pleasantly surprised by how much information such a compact device can provide. It tracks my workouts reliably and helps keep me motivated to stay active. The band feels soft against my wrist and hasn’t caused any irritation. Notifications come through clearly and are handy when my phone isn’t nearby. Everything feels polished and well designed from the display to the companion app. For the price, I think it offers alot of useful features without being complicated to use. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchace and would easily reccommend it to anyone looking for a simple and dependable fitness tracker.

It fits my bit 🤷♀️
I’ve had my fitbit for maybe a month now? It’s been great! Tracks my steps and calories, my sleep, and then on the app I can track exercises and food! The display being small was worrisome but it’s really not an issue. Setup was super easy too! Also FYI you cannot quite call on it but you can press call and then it’ll answer on your phone.. very interesting and a lil funny

Does the Job
This does great fitness tracking. Swimming is my main source of exercise. I love that I can waterlock it because I do water exercise classes as well as water walking and lap swimming. I have one issue. One day after receiving my Fitbit there was an update and afterwards whenever I lock the watch the top portion of numbers on the watch fade out. They do come back almost immediately but shouldn’t do this. At this price point, this is a great little watch. It tracks my sleep which is important to me. It’s durable in and out of the water. Tracks my steps perfectly and reminds me to get up and move. Although I had a hitch after the update I recommend buying it. Recently purchased another one as a gift. Removed a star because it should have other band color choices; however, I purchased a four pack of bands separately.

Not a good choice to downgrade to.
This review is for people who are used to using Fitness watches. I have used many different brands over the years, including several Fitbits, a Samsung, a Garmin, cheap Chinese knockoffs, and 2 Apple Watch and decided the Apple Watch was just a bit too much data for me so gifted it to my daughter. Wasn’t too long before I realized I need something to force me back into sports so I got this little guy. Good size, soft fit, good quality, decent price, however, I question its quality in the data metrics it is providing.Here’s an example, I’m on a run and specifically watching my heart rate so I don’t over Max it, it starts warning me I’m at 180 bpm so I do the right thing and slow down. However, when I download the data onto the phone to track my overall workout, it says I never went over 155. One of those is wrong. I can tell you it’s the downloaded data that’s wrong because I know how to measure my own heart rate and I know what 155 feels versus 180, especially running uphill after being on rest a few weeks. It has Wrist temperature measures it doesn’t tell you why, pretty sure it means it’s meaningless. If you sleep with your arm in the sheet or out of the sheet, it will be a difference in the measurement. Blood oxygen, cool that they have it just realize It’s about 4 to 5% low on its reading. If you really need to know, it’s best to buy an oximeter. Now to why you probably purchased it, steps. Fitbit is notorious for counting everything as a step. I used to cheat the system by playing drums; 30 minutes of hard drumming and boy I got my 10,000 for the day. That never happened on my Apple Watch, don’t remember it on any of the others so can’t compare. Anyway, sorry for the long post, still a decent fitness watch for the starter but if you think this compares to your more expensive version, it will not. Get a better Fitbit if you want better telemetry.One thing to note to those switching from the Apple Watch, this one does not work with Apple health, but it does have a really nice Google Health app.

Good watch for basics
Have had it for almost one year I believe? It does exactly what I wanted to do. Got it for my work so I could easily check the time without needing my phone and to track my steps and heart rate, which is the basics I wanted. Display is good, have not used the sleeping tracker but very happy being able to see my steps and heart rate which seem accurate.Phone synced up easily. Is comfy. Like that it’s small and not too big. I wear it all day from 8-12 hrs a day for work and anytime I go out. Charges last me a while? Think a full charge lasts a week. I can only charge it a certain way cause the cord is short and not a universal cord but I only charge it maybe once a week so it’s fine.I have gotten a few scratch marks from it hitting walls at work but it came out easily after I wiped it. Best function for me is just flipping my wrist a little and it shows me the time and my steps too (have it set up that way).And if someone calls me my watch vibrates so that’s cool. Honestly don’t use much of any other functions but it does everything I need.Easy to clean the band cause it definitely gets a bit dusty after wearing that almost everyday while working and sweating for months. Color is cute too.

Distance is estimated (not tracked) and is inaccurate.
Disappointed. I returned the item.At the entry level Fitbit Inspire 3, there is no internal GPS tracking built into the device. This means, in order to track your distance (steps or miles) you have walked, you are instructed to pair the inspire 3 with your phone and bring your phone wherever you go for more “accurate tracking.”Even while connected to my phone, with GPS tracking, it seems my phone’s tracking is more accurate, as it is using a GPS to estimate distance traveled, and appears to in no way impact the distance tracked/estimated on the Inspire 3, which is using an algorithm to estimate distance, based on what is detects from its sensors.The inspire 3 does offer an away-from-phone tracking feature for distance, but it is also wildly inaccurate. Tracking without a phone relies on arm swing to estimate steps and distance. Overall, even when connected to my phone, the distance tracking is still inaccurate. When using it on the treadmill, the Inspire 3 tracking was incredibly off, meaning if you are a treadmill runner, you are better off removing the device while using the treadmill and entering your distance manually on the Google health Fitbit App.The inspire 3 does offer a heart rate monitoring (bpm) feature and it seems to be accurate which, for the average recreational athlete, should be more than sufficient. I recommend reading the study by Higuchi et al. (2025): Validation of heart rate measured by the consumer-level wearable device Fitbit: a cross-sectional observational study.The other main tracking feature is sleep. I cannot speak to the accuracy of the light, deep, and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep cycles it detects, but the sleep monitoring as a whole seems accurate. I can see when I fall asleep and when I woke up, which seems to roughly correlate to when i last looked at the time before I actually fell asleep and the time when I woke up.Text message alerts are received and viewable on the inspire 3, which is handy, though responding via your wrist is not available on this model. There are built in timers and alarms, which is convenient, as well as a “find my phone” feature, which works as long as your phone is connected. I really liked these added features.As a pedometer for tracking distance, I am disappointed. The accuracy is poor. Even when data from the Apple Health app on iPhone, is shared with Google Health (Fitbit) the distancing tracking is not accurate. Tracking my distance was the primary reason I purchased the Inspire 3 in the first place.Overall, I am enjoyed the heart rate monitor, and the sleep tracker, though these features were not under consideration when I purchased the product and are secondary to the original purpose of the device.If you are a prospective buyer, I would recommend that you consider spending more to purchase the Fitbit Charge, Versa, or Sense models (I have not reviewed these), which have an internal GPS, or despite Fitbit’s budget friendly products, purchasing a fitness watch from a different company might be a better route. Though it has some cool feature, and has a sleek design, do not pay full price, wait for a sale!

Great for tracking health – *UPDATED* JUNK!!!!
UPDATE #2 8/6/26 — I hate to do this but I am once again dropping my rating down. This is now a 1 star product. On initial purchase, this thing seemed great. However, shortly after purchase the oxygen tracker stopped working as I mentioned in my original update on 7/17. Since then, the sleep monitor has gotten really wonky as well. For example, last night it claims that I slept for 3 minutes. I went to bed at 10:30pm and woke up at 5:30am but somehow it said I slept for 3 total minutes. It also gives me a “sleep score” of 40 over and over and over again. In the last 10 nights of sleep I probably got a 40 as my score on 8 of them. Is this thing broken? Or just junk? After doing some research I came to find out there use to be a Fitbit app and it worked pretty well. However, the within the last few months got rid of the fitbit app and now use the Google Health app to work with this watch and according to a lot of the reviews Ive been reading that seems to be when everything got goofy with this watch. People seem to feel they transitioned to the new Google Health app before they were ready and its led to a lot of glitches…. That would make sense since this watch completely stopping the oxygen tracking and giving me a 40 as my sleep score 95% of the time time regardless of how good or bad I sleep sure seems to be a glitch to me!! Like I said, last night it said I slept for 3 minutes even though I was in bed for 7 hours lol lol lol….. I don’t know if the watch itself is junk or if the watch doesn’t properly sync with the new app or what the story is, but at this point I have nothing at all good to say here. Half the functions literally don’t even work anymore and because of that I don’t even know if I should trust the functions that “supposedly” do work…… This went from seeming to be a nice watch right after purchase to being a complete piece of garbage in just a short period of time.UPDATED 7/17/26 — This was originally a 5 star review (see my original review below). I am dropping it to 2 stars. Everything in my original review still stands, except for one problem that I consider a major problem. The SP O2 tracker on there (that’s the oxygen level tracker) just randomly STOPPED WORKING a few days after owning the watch. I tried numerous troubleshooting options that were suggested, reinstalling the app, re-pairing the blue tooth, adjusting the watch face, wearing it tighter on my wrist, cleaning the under side sensors, making sure firmware is up to date, etc. etc. it still does not work. Everything else works fine, but the oxygen sensor gives me no reading at all. It worked for about 3-4 days, then just stopped and hasn’t worked since. This is a VERY important feature to me since I struggled with Oyxgen levels at times in my life due to asthma – so not having this feature is a big let down. And in searching the internet for possible fixes I am finding out many others have the same issue and nobody has a fix for it….. So, yeah. It is now a 2 star product,ORIGINAL REVIEW — To start my review, let me say that I had no desire and no want for a watch that received my text messages or phone calls. In my opinion, those seemed like stupid features because I always have my cell phone on me, so why would I need to get calls and texts on the watch. But if that is something that you are looking for, then you should probably disregard my 5 star review because from what I understand this watch does NOT have a mic for talking on phone calls with and I think it only notifies you when you get a text, but you can’t respond to it. You may want to verify that info though because I did not buy it for those things and haven’t played with those options at all.I specifically bought this watch to monitor health related things…. daily steps, calories burned, heart rate, oxygen level, sleep patterns, etc. and it really does a great job with all of that. It also allows you to set up daily routines and exercise schedules, though I have not played with those features yet since they aren’t overly important to me. I’ve been using the watch for about 2 weeks now and it really does a nice job of monitoring all health related activity. While monitoring my sleep it tells me an overall score for my sleep, but then also breaks it down to show how much time I spent in an REM cycle, how much time was in deep sleep (to rest your muscles), how much time was in light sleep (to rest your mind), how many times you woke up, etc. Very useful info!!! Not only does it track this info daily, but it also stores it for you can few it in chart and graph format over the course of weeks and months to see where you are improving or where you need to get better.The battery life seems pretty decent. I got about 10 days from a full charge. The face of the watch is small. It’s about the same width as the wrist band. I suppose some people might not like that since it can be hard to read, but I personally love the small face. The small face makes it very comfortable to wear and since all of the data can be viewed on your phone via the app that the watch communicates with, the small screen on the watch is fine. I do all the actual monitoring of my health data from my phone.All in all I guess it boils down to you what you looking for. Like I said, this watch doesn’t offer much in regards to phone calls and texts and email. If that’s what you are looking for, definitely look elsewhere. But if you just need something to monitor heart rate, steps, calories burned, oxygen level, sleep patterns, etc. this thing really does the trick. It’s a lot cheaper than other brands out there and the small face makes it comfortable. And from the app you can pretty much do all your tweaking as far as setting up notifications, enabling and disabling certain features, etc. It’s not the top watch out there by any means, but it’s also alot cheaper than some of the watches out there. If you just need something comfortable to wear to keep track of health and vitals, I highly recommend this guy.

Precise Disarray –
compare & contrast by looking at chart in middle of product description, choose wisely
GPS: I saw a review crying about needing to have phone on body in order to have GPS tracked. The features of the Inspire 3 compared to other models are CLEARLY listed in THIS product description. This model has CONNECTED GPS (means it will talk to phone), or you can choose a model with GPS built in (no need to have phone on you). ZERO surprises here.STEP COUNT: I find it accurate, leaning toward underestimation, which is fine. Never have I found it to over estimate. Seems about as accurate as all the other Fitbit products I have used over the past 10 years. If you find it over estimating for whatever reason, then raise your goal.SCREEN CLARITY: good color, clean clear presentation. I have been using their smart watches the past several years, so I wasnt sure what to expect from their “low end” basic model. Very clear. Very different (and better) than basic models of 8-10 years ago.SCREEN USE: very receptive to my touch. I can tap the screen and see the time, date, and steps, and then scroll UP to see: date, battery amount, steps, distance, floors, hourly activity progress, heart rate(actual and resting), sleep and sleep score, Sp02, menstrual info, exercise progress. Scroll DOWN, to see alarm if you have one set, or want to turn off. Along with other options. Use SIDE button and swipe left or right for other information and settings stuff.BATTERY LIFE:. Lasts forever. I have my watch set to only turn on with a tap. I didnt want to see it every time I flicked my wrist. That also takes away from batter life. There are likely other settings and such that decrease battery life, but as of right now I have been using it since July 9th, and it is the 17th at time of writing this. I have 32% battery left. 10 days is likely accurate.BONUS: although it says that it does NOT have ECG app for AFIB detection, it does. Sorta. “while it can’t take an ECG like the more expensive Fitbit Charge 5 or newer smartwatches, it will monitor your heart rate and alert you if it detects an irregular heart rhythm”.WATCH BAND STYLE: I wish I noticed this or thought to ask before purchasing. This has the PIN release style watch band. Since I like to swap out my bands frequently, I am not a fan of the pin style. Made extra annoying as this is a small unit and therefor extra small pin system. That being said, I havent had any real problem swapping out. Mostly just a nuisance. However, I went ahead and ordered a Charge 5 because that has the push button release. I like how the Fitbits are now just including a size small as well as a size large band size. I have 7″ wrist, and prefer the large band over the small. Gives me more wiggle room. I also like the regular traditional watch band style (slots with pin, then slip through securing band– like any old school watch). Some models use a slip through band which always made me think it was unsecure. So I always just bought new bands of preferred style. Overall I can wear this just fine as is.WORD OF CAUTION:The 4 star rating takes into account that I dont see in the description any info pertaining to the “pin” release style of band. Maybe I missed it. I also factor in that this CANNOT be used in conjunction with other models. I figured I could swap between the Charge 5 and this, depending on what I want to wear that day. Nope. This will have to be cleared from app before another one could use. I noticed this when I was putting this online to replace my Fitbit Sense. I had to deactivate the Sense to add this. And now that I have a Charge 5 coming, I will have to deactiveate this. I wanted to be able to try them out side by side to determine which I like most before giving one away. Boo/hiss.LASTLY, I decided to stop buying the smart watches, as in the Versa or Sense. I found that I wasnt using most of the additional features. None lasted more than a year or two for me anyway. This Inspire 3 and Charge 5 have all that I want, and nothing I dont. Comes down to personal preference. I have a Garmin Vivosmart that has lasted forever, but it never seems as accurate for basic movement (good for intentional exercise), basic walks, and the app is yuck. Whereas I really like the Fitbit app. I like the product, but are basically throw away items for me (whereas my husband is still wearing his Fitbit Blaze from several years ago).I’ll update if I experience anything worth sharing, especially if anything negative.
