Despite what wearables makers would have you think, it's not just all smartwatches. There's still a place for the humble fitness tracker . For starters, they're much cheaper than smartwatches, provide accurate fitness tracking, have better battery life, and are perfectly adequate at delivering push...

Accurate tracking at an affordable price

Boring design; Doesn't stand out

Not so very long ago we saw a transition from fitness bands to smart watches, now with the sad state of WearOS were seeing more smart features in fitness bands and a resurgence in that market.

Fitbit Inspire HR is the brand's latest offering which packs in a lot of features one can expect from a fitness tracker. Right from the display to Heart Rate sensor to sleep tracking, and one which can be used while swimming. But then, it doesn't end here.

After 72 hours with the device, I’d be inclined to pick this Fitbit over more expensive ones

Fitbit Inspire Hr does one thing exceptionally well. It sticks to basics, and it doesn’t pretend to do more than advertised. It’s not perfect, and some of the issues can’t be corrected through software patches, but when I draw the line, it all adds up to a positive experience.

Fitbit Inspire Hr is small, sleek, and packs a lot of functions that you wouldn’t usually get; Sure, you can count the paces and distances with a phone, but all the rest is data being lost; Having a small tracker has some advantages.

Fitness bands make sense for people who are really motivated, otherwise those notifications to complete a certain number of steps or get up from your desk to take a walk around every hour will most likely be ignored.

It might have a slightly cheaper-looking build quality than the Fitbit Charge 3, but the Inspire HR offers stacks of features - from heart-rate tracking, to waterproofing, sleep-tracking and beyond - at a great price point. It's really quite remarkable.
