This is my second fitbit. I am happy with my purchase. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the more expensive ones have but it meets my basic needs. Its easy to set up and the display is easy to read for someone with older eyes. It tracks sleep and will track food and water intake as well as weight loss if you imput the info. For me it motivates me to move more and tracks my daily steps so I can see my progress every day. I would purchase again

Perfect little tracker for when you only want to track activity and sleep. I took mine off the band & put it in a clip I attach to my shoelaces, but it just as easily attaches to a pocket or waistband. My job req's that I not wear jewelry, so this format works out for me.

The app is very easy to use, but needs a 2nd app to transfer Fitbit info into the Apple Health app. Seriously simple.

So far, on the first (&only) charge, it is at 48% battery life remaining after a full week of use.

Would I recommend over the cheap versions out there? Absolutely. It feels quite solid & it tracks better than my phone (which is never w me while working). I like it enough that I bought a replacement warranty through Fitbit's app. I was always losing & replacing my Misfit - seriously, I replaced 5 bc I thought Fitbit was too bulky, but this is small enough to be inconspicuous clipped wherever it is. I know that the warranty is for BROKEN, but I did that TOO w the Misfit(s)

I originally had the Fitbit charge (3 I believe) that I got in 2016. The battery was god awful but I loved it nonetheless and could handle charging it often.

After a year or so of not using it, I decided to get another one and I found this one and decided to give it a chance despite some hefty negative reviews.

First impressions: the color is beautiful! I love the red and burgundy color and I think it's super pretty. I like the band and I think it's the perfect size. It's easy to read for me and I think it's great in that sense.

The battery is honestly really good (at least form what I've seen). When I received it, I was only able to charge it to 79% before I had to leave and it's been almost 24 hours and it's only down to 60%. I call that a win. I also have texts and notifications coming through as well.

My reason for 4 stars is the set up. The set up was extremely frustrating. It kept telling me it couldn't finish downloading the set up because my battery was too low or I got an error. After almost 2 hours of trouble shooting and being ready to give up, I found that you have to choose the exact model of inspire that's listed and if you're so much as (1) model off, it won't work. After I did that, and my battery charged up a bit, everything went smoothly and perfectly.

So if you get it, have patience for the set up. Otherwise, really enjoying and would recommend!

I ordered this Inspire (no HR) after reading negative reviews regarding charging frequency and syncing problems and wondered if I would be happy with this product. I lost my One--again.

I have used it for eight days now and have found that with everything turned off other than basic step tracking, I still have 47% battery life. If you are using all the features, the battery charge will probably last 5 days. Also I wear the Inspire in a clip, not on my wrist. Step counts seem to be as accurate as expected.

A simple step tracker is what I wanted as Fitbit doesn't make the One anymore. The One is actually superior to the Inspire because of its simplicity. Wish they would make them again.

Okay, back to the Inspire. I did have a concern regarding syncing with a phone app, and have found this concern to be valid. There are times I have to push the sync, as the communication from tracker to phone app is poor.

With these things being said, I will get use to the Inspire and all will be good. (Fitbit One, oh how I miss you.)

It is suppose to keep track of sustained exercise. It recorded 35 minutes in the morning and by afternoon it was down to 10 minutes (glitchy--there are complaints online about this but no fix.) Overall I like how it looks. Unexpectedly it also picks up my texts and tells me if my phone is ringing if I'm in the vicinity of the phone (nice extras but you have to set up in settings.) Easy to set up. You can shower with it and take it into the pool. (It did record extended exercise when I was swimming.) It mildly vibrates when you get a call or text, or need to get up and move around. I don't think the sleep recorder is very accurate--it shows me asleep when I know I was awake and vice versa.) I am used to looking at my watch several times a day--you have to go into settings so it will light up when you raise your arm rather than push the button to see the time. I like having the date show with the time. There are multiple things you can show under the time--you have to learn to swipe through what data is available under the time until you find what you want (it can be the date it could also be steps walked etc.) There is GPS program you can turn on in the phone if you are taking an extended run/walk. The GPS is much more accurate on distance than just steps. However, I'm returned it for a replacement hoping that the time reduction in extended exercise is fixed. It overall does an excellent job of keeping track of my steps and gently encourages you to keep moving. I recommend look at settings so you can personalize your preferences.

I got the 2nd watch and it also has the glitch of decreasing extended exercise time or not recognizing it.
