The Fitbit Inspire 2 doesn't make wholesale changes to a fitness tracker that still offers a good mix of those tracking basics backed up by an app that remains as user-friendly as ever.

Slim; light and comfortable; Great for sleep tracking; Improved battery life

The Fitbit Inspire 2 tries to do it all, with mixed results

Neat, stylish design; Free year of Fitbit Premium; Strong battery life;

Small screen struggles to show much data; Fiddly controls; Dude, where’s my button?;

Cheaper than the Charge 4, the Fitbit Inspire 2 offers incredible value for money for its extensive fitness tracking features, smartphone notifications, and heart-rate health insights.

Great value for a Fitbit; Comprehensive fitness tracking; Fantastic Fitbit app

Small display; No altimeter; No built-in GPS

Fitbit is really banking on the free Premium membership with the Inspire 2....

Affordable price Small; lightweight design Great sleep tracking and insights Good heart rate tracking Connected GPS is a plus

Slim design; Week-plus battery life; Tracks heart rate variability and sleeping respiration; Automatically tracks certain activities; Comes with one year of Fitbit Premium

No built-in GPS; Lacks a color display; Can cause skin irritation

The Fitbit Inspire 2 impressed us with its simplicity, unobtrusive styling, good battery life and heart rate monitoring. As a simple multi-sport tracker or a tool to gently nudge you towards a more active lifestyle, it works well.

Heart rate feature; Simple to use; Excellent app

Basic functionality; Small screen; No in-built GPS

A better fitness tracker than the original that's still an affordable option. If you already own an Inspire HR, however, you might not find huge reasons to make it an essential upgrade.

Brighter screen than predecessor; 10 day battery life; Great for sleep tracking; Fitbit platform is easy to use

Still no colour display; Screen quality could still be better; Feature set not hugely different from Inspire HR; Basic swim tracking

The Fitbit Inspire 2 impressed us with its simplicity, unobtrusive styling, good battery life and heart rate monitoring. As a simple multi-sport tracker or a tool to gently nudge you towards a more active lifestyle, it works well. We were less keen on having to spend the cost of the device again on a subscription to retain access to the app's premium features after a year. Its screen is also a little too small to make the most of its sports-specific features. Nevertheless, is you're interested in logging exercise and keeping general insights into your health, we don't think you'll be disappointed.
