Fitbit Inspire 2 Health & Fitness Tracker with a Free 1-Year Fitbit Premium Trial, 24/7 Heart Rate, Black/Black, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

I got this watch to help monitor and control my POTS, and honestly I really enjoy it. I love using all the features. HEARTRATE- I used both a oximeter and blood pressure monitor to compare heart rates. It was held very well accuracy. Workouts display your highest heart rate and average including a map of your different heart rates. It measures your resting heart rate, your heart rate variability, heart rate throughout the day, and etc. Health metrics- I found this part of the app interesting, breathing rate, heart rate variablity, skin temperature, and resting heart rate is here. I like seeing the different trends and taking note of how my health impacts them. I came down with a runny nose one day and it went away the next (assuming my body fought off whatever it was) and i noticed a major increase in overall body tempt, a drop in breathing rate, and a drop in heart rate variability. Stress management - each day a score is given based on these factors responsiveness, exertion balance, and sleep patterns, you then log how you feel that day. This can help you notice how stress impacts your body and performance. Mindfulness- I enjoy the breathing with the watch features, the watch has you inhale then vibrates as you exhale. The app comes with a bunch of videos for mindfulness. readiness score- This score is based on your heart rate variability, activity level, and sleep. It gives you a score based on what you should focus on, ex a 1 score after a high intense exercise day tells you to take the day and focus on recovery while a higher score let’s me know my body is ready for a nice exercise. I don’t always follow this score since I am a dancer and I have practices anyways haha. Exercise- one flaw I believe if you are a healthy person you shouldn’t have any problems, but I don’t believe these calories. I heard that fitbit uses your heart rate, and when my heart rate due to POTS is very high; it says I burn a huge amount of calories everyday. Of course i don’t know the way POTS impacts calorie burning, but I do not believe it is accurate due to my condition, I am sure it is fine for others. That being said I enjoy every other feature it automatically logs workout if detected with the time, avg heart rate, calories, and zone minutes. It displays a chart of your heart rate with the highest and the amount of time you spent in each heart zone. Sleep profile- this has kept me in line would making sure I get sleep, I have found it to be pretty accurate and I love seeing how well I slept / when I need to get it together. Gives you a score based on time asleep, deep and REM, and restoration. Displays your sleep in the different cycles. Weight, period, food, and water I don’t use these features much. The period assumes your fertile window is a specific amount of days after your period but that’s not entirely true, please research it if you are wanting some type of family planning birth control. Weight I log sometimes but it’s nice to have everything in its spot. The rest are nice features that you can use I just don’t feel a need for. STEPS- I found these to be really accurate. SKIN REACTION I got contact dermitis which doesn’t hurt or anything I believe twice. What would happen was I had it pretty tight around my wrist and on top of that throughout the day from washing hands or dishes would get soap or water stuck between it. Do i think this is the material fault or the watch? no I also don’t think it should deter anyone from buying it. Just make sure to clean your watch, make sure water and soap doesn’t get on your wrist/ under the watch, and don’t wear it too tight. If it ever happens to you, just switch your wrist while it heals and take note what the problem was. Notifications/ alarms/ Tile/ etc I used the timer/alarm sections are backup. No sound is played it just vibrates. Tile is a nice app you can set up to find your watch. I don’t tend to use the notifications but you can see your notifications and texts that come on your phone from your watch. And i am probably forgetting a few things but I think I covered a large portion. OVERALL- In the beginning I had to get used to using the watch but once I adjusted it was really easy. I think for the price the watch is a great health watch and I would definitely recommend it!

I got this to track my sleep after looking at a lot of reviews for different options and comparing pricing. For the price, this gives you a lot. I think the sleep tracking could be improved for the times I’m laying still but not sleeping, but it’s interesting to see the estimated time during different phases. I do like the fitness tracking aspect, though the number of options is limited (no “hiking” option from the watch). I like that it recognizes once I’ve started an exercise on its own, but it sometimes quits partway through a long walk or running a 5k. The app is even more notorious for quitting on me during an activity, so I would not recommend this if you’re a regular runner. But overall it has all the features I need, and I enjoyed the free year of FitBit Plus that came with enhanced sleep tracking and workout classes.

UPDATE: Fitbit no longer offers an app for use with Windows on a computer. In order to use this product, you need to "activate" it by syncing it with the Fitbit app. Beyond that, you will get a lot more data by using it with the app, but you can still see some daily data on the device itself (which clears on its own at the end of the day). Also the app is needed to do some customizing (such as setting what your "active" hours are). ***BEORE PURCHASING, I recommend making sure you have a device (smartphone or tablet) that will work with the app, which is a free download. IF YOU CANNOT DOWNLOAD THE APP TO ONE OF YOUR DEVICES, THIS PRODUCT WON'T WORK! Please note that the apps available may not be compatible with an older smartphone or tablet (and older may mean only a couple of years). In addition to the app, there is a dashboard available by logging into the Fitbit website. I can't speak to the smartphone app, but regarding the Windows app, you'll get different views of your data on the website as compared to the app (for example, the website will show you # of steps by five-minute increments throughout the day, but the app just gives you steps for the whole day and also which of your "active" hours had at least 250 steps). On both the website and app you can see your historical data. **UPDATE: Fitbit no longer allows you to download an app for use with Windows on a computer, however this info may be helpful if you downloaded the app before they discontinued it. VERY IMPORTANT: If you are only planning to sync with a computer, you need to buy a separate FITBIT WIRELESS SYNC DONGLE. You also need to make sure your computer has BLUETOOTH capabilities and that they are turned on (if not, I believe there may be a separate dongle you can purchase for Bluetooth). The sync dongle allows your Fitbit to transfer data to your computer and you must sync at least once for the product to work. The syncing occurs with the app open (not to be confused with the website dashboard). It should happen automatically, but can be manually prompted if necessary. The product itself arrives with only a miniscule amount of instructions. The full user manual is on their website, and an internet search will find any number of other websites with helpful instructions for doing things the manual doesn't cover well or at all (that's how I learned about the required dongle). I don't have experience with other fitness trackers for comparison. This works well enough for my needs--I got it for a wellness program at work and the data can be synced directly to that wellness program's website. I don't think the step counter is 100% accurate. I am pretty sure it undercounts, but even if it is 90% accurate, that is good enough for my purposes. I haven't tried out the sleep tracking features yet, so can't comment on those. I find the manual to be lacking and wish it had been more clear at the time of purchase or even with the product in hand that the dongle was needed to use it with a computer. (I guess they think we are all supposed to be privileged enough to own brand new smartphones.) I have a very small wrist and the smallest wristband attachment worked for me--you'll want to wear it three fingers above your wrist bone. I often wear it clipped to my waistband instead (separate purchase to get the clips), which seems to work as well for step counting, although the vibration reminder to move is subtle and hard to feel when wearing this way. Taking the wrist straps on and off does require decent manual dexterity.

I'm really sad that this Inspire 2 is catching so much grief in the reviews here, but what I believe it boils down to is most people only leave bad reviews. If someone is happy with something they usually won't take the time to come on an write about it unless it is beyond brilliant. I wont go so far as to say this fitbit is that, but it is a wonderful gadget and personally I find no truths in what many here are complaining about. Firstly I would like to start with, if comparing to the HR and making a decision between the two, definitely go with the newer model. It does more; like the 24/7 heart rate monitor which is really great to keep an eye on, the active zones and a great battery life. So far I've gone 4 days with no charge and only gotten to 65%, that's incredible to me. Not to mention this new model includes a free year of premium which has a lot of great stuff in it like fitness guides and mediation exercises. When I was making the decision I read pros and cons comparisons and ultimately it was these and the sluggish touch screen on the HR that led me to choose the Inspire 2. I'm glad I did, I have zero regrets. And for some reason this is cheaper right now than the older model! (Edit: it looks like that was pre holiday sale and it's more expensive now which does make sense, it is better) It's functioning flawlessly. It was a great price, is very easy to use, and really is a good little motivator. I love the gentle alarms, the relax exercises, and the little reminders to drink water and exercise. The sleep tracking is really fascinating and a personal goal of mine to work on, this is a major help to me in that regard. I love that it is swim safe as well, since I'm big on swimming. I have pretty small wrists, and while it sits off of it a bit, it's not overly bulky and is light, and by no means bothersome. Also the recommendation for wearing it is slightly loose, not snug, and I find the best position for it is just above the ulna. As far as people having trouble with it getting stuck on one screen and always showing their weight or constantly buzzing with alerts? That is 100% user error. I will say with confidence if you take your time to sit down and just read through and explore the app with patience, it is all very user friendly. These screens can be backed out of, changed, and alarms/ reminders set or cancelled. There was also a review that mentioned there's no way to view the HR on the main screen, and you have to swipe through 5 times or so to get to it. While that is one way, there is also the quick function on the home screen just below the clock, tapping this will cycle through which to display (HR, calories, active zones, miles, and steps) so you can have your HR and time visible anytime. My two biggest "issues" with it which are very minor, would be the band, which tends to irritate the skin slightly with constant wear. Cleaning, switching wrists or bands is a simple solution. The other one is that the steps aren't incredibly accurate, they give a rough idea, but I tend to halve mine based off of my walking routes that I know. This is a broad guess on my part, steps matter least to me but it's probably closer to 75% accurate. Keeping that and the relatively low price in mind, I think this is a wonderful all over health tracker and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quality tracker at a reasonable price and healthier lifestyle. It is a small piece of plastic that I find quite incredible at what it is capable of doing for being so tiny, and am amazed at all of the extras in this!

I was looking for a smaller fitness tracker that wasn't too bulky and I didn't need a ton of bells and whistles. This little tracker does the job. I mostly track sleep, heart rate, and steps. It will track any workout you do without even needing to go into the app as long as your workout is 15 min or longer. Sometimes you have to go into the app and correct the activity for example if I go canoeing it thinks I'm swimming when I'm mowing the lawn it thinks I'm writing a bike etc. The battery on my tracker last me approximately 2 weeks ! I keep the Bluetooth off most of the time and turn it on to download information to my phone. I used it for a 5-day canoe camping trip to track my steps and all my time spent canoeing and kept the Bluetooth off the entire time and it downloaded 6 days worth of information when I got back. I keep notifications off just due to personal preference but that is an option as well. You're able to read text messages and other notifications on the watch. It's very lightweight I no longer feel it when I'm wearing it. It's waterproof as well and you can easily turn on the water lock function. It has a stopwatch and timer function as well. The band is a very soft silicone that conforms very well to my wrist. Great option for people with smaller wrists. If you're looking for an uncomplicated affordable option this is it! I'm on my second Fitbit the first one lasted approximately 12 months, however with the first watch I never water locked it and used it in water so it's shorter lifespan was probably my fault.

I bought my Inspire 2 a couple months ago, and I just love it! What I use it for is as a heart rate monitor and to track my sleep. It has a really long battery life - I recharge it about every 10 days (it sends me an email to remind me when it needs charging). It is also really lightweight. My normal forms of exercise are: weights, treadmill, walks (our neighborhood is quite hilly), and yoga. My fitbit does really well at tracking my heart rate on walks - and it leverages my phone's GPS for distance. It sometimes does well at tracking intensity on the treadmill, and sometimes not. How tightly you wear the watchband affects if it misses beats. An amusing aspect of the heart rate monitor is - that something about going shopping at Costco with my wife sometimes causes my heart rate to go up quite a bit. I think it is we naturally shop at different speeds. I try to fob the increase in heart rate off as the romance of shopping together, but my wife is not buying it... The fitbit will report those bouts of high heart rate as exercise. Normally, though, the heart rate is pretty accurate - I was in the hospital for a little while - and one of the things I liked to do was compare my fitbit's heart rate measure - with that of the hospital's heart rate monitor. In general they were within 1 beat of each other. I use the Active Zone Minutes feature of fitbit to help me track my 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. Active Zone Minutes can be more or less accurate, so I don't follow them religiously, but more as a motivator to do more. As a sleep tracker my fitbit is also very useful. I am trying to get more sleep -- and having an objective source of data gives me feedback on how I am doing . I have noticed though, if you sit really still for a long period of time, such as in an emergency room, it interprets that as sleep. I suppose sitting quietly is a form of rest, so I don't feel too bad about that. I find my fitbit very motivating -- it causes me to do more exercise than I would have otherwise. I think the mind set that it promotes is very helpful. It makes a great watch. For the most part it is unobtrusive. If you already have a smart-phone, and want to improve your health, the Inspire 2 is reasonably priced for what it gives. So far I have not used the Premium features that much - so I don't have an opinion on that at this point. Cronometer (a nutrition tracking app - that can also be used to track biometrics) can be linked to my fitbit, and automatically grab some metrics - I find that very useful too. Fitbit is mostly focused on exercise - I find it easier to use Cronometer to track food, blood pressure, blood glucose, weight etc... I did also try the fitbit smart scale but it did not work well for me, so I manually enter weight data into my fitbit app. The Inspire 2 is definitely a keeper and, for me, well worth the money.

Terrible customer Service. At first they say I was going to get a replacement or refund then they changed their minds. Not right! I bought this Fitbit and received Septermber 10, 2025 and now it does not work since December 17, 2025. Lasted only 97 days. I charges to 100 percent, I can turn it on as long as I am connected, once I disconnect the fit bit goes dark. At first I was offered a replacement or a refund. See note from the seller below: December 23, 2025. Good morning, We’re sorry to hear that your Fitbit is not working properly and apologize for the inconvenience. You are welcome to return the unit for either a replacement or a refund, depending on your preference. Please let us know which option you would like to proceed with, and we will provide instructions for the return process. Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to resolving this for you promptly. Then on Dec 29, 2025 9:05 AM the seller wrote: Good afternoon We’re very sorry to hear that your Fitbit isn’t working properly.

Jan 1, 2026 10:02 PM I do not agree with your response. This fit bit stopped working after three months of use and the warranty is one year. The purchase date was September 10, 2025. Jan 2, 2026 11:19 AM Thank you for your message. We understand your concern and appreciate you reaching out. To clarify, while the manufacturer may offer a one-year warranty, we as the seller provide a 90-day warranty only, which has already passed based on your purchase date of September 10, 2025. Since the device stopped working after this period, the issue will need to be handled directly with the manufacturer under their warranty policy. Unfortunately, we are unable to process a replacement or refund beyond our 90-day warranty window. Thank you for your understanding. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me they could not find record of the item so they could not do a warranty exchange. I reach out to the seller once more and explain the manufacture's response and basically I was told they were sorry and there was nothing else they could do.

I had this one before, liked it , but tried a different one, which i could never even set for English, returned it and reordered Fit bit Inspire, which I'm perfectly satisfied with , this one is a good choice particularly if the wrist is small.
