i HAVE HAD ONE FOR YEARS AND YEAR, ITS A GREAT PRODUCT, My 1 year free premium doesn’t seem to be included with this item though? Can you confirm, as it does say in the title and why I purchased here- thanks
This watch has been good but I always took
It odd when I swam. My daughter wore hers all the time so I decided to give it a go and it killed my watch. it eventually burst back in to life. It needed charging every day and then the time was wrong all
Of the time. I wouldn’t trust one in water again.
Bought this for the missus, cos she had septic shock and was in intensive care for ages, and her heart rate has been pretty whack tbh. She’s loving it! It was a proper bargain I thought! Does pretty much all the other more pricey ones do, and it’s.fit for a.baroness
Wanted one for a while and finally got one. Use it to track my steps as I’m now walking back and forth to work. Linked it to my phone with the app which is really easy to use and shows all your daily goals!
Purchased one each for my daughter and myself … had one years ago, this is a vast improvement … long battery life, quick charge, simple to use with the app too!!! Definitely recommend!!!
I thought it might be good to measure how much exercise I was doing and that’s why I bought a Fitbit.
Overall I am pleased with it but I changed the plastic strap to a leather one because my skin was reacting to whatever the original strap was made of.
The Fitbit came with a 12 months membership to Fitbit but I didn’t really make full use of the things this offered and so I let the membership lapse. I might go back to it in the future.
The Fitbit is neat. I didn’t want a big square watch. The downside is that it’s not always easy to see the display in brighter light but I’m not a fanatic and can manage with checking later in the day and doing a bit more if I think I haven’t achieved my goals.
You do get a useful summary of your exercise and this can be quite inspiring/ spur you on to do more. It was easy to pair the Fitbit with my other devices.
I’m not sure that I have explored everything it can do yet. It’s quite a nice ‘entry level’ device. Some people might want something more sophisticated but, for now, it meets my needs.
Absolutely love this Fitbit. Does everything I need it to do and it’s only 50. I was originally looking at the 200+ devices, but this is perfect. Set up was so easy, it synchs with Myfitnesspal and Renpho which is great. Definitely helping me keep up my fitness and healthy eating habits.
This is more than enough for my needs. Just a basic Inspire 2 but the app is informative & has all the important points I wanted to know. I use it every day & it’s durable, pretty accurate & has given me more motivation to increase my steps, fitness etc. I particularly like the weight & calorie counting function on the app & the calorie burn assessment of your heart rate.
This is a neat little fitbit and not expensive but I preferred the magnetic strap on my old one. Setting up via the fitbit app was a headache. EE couldn’t help and it took the top tech guy at Curry’s in Oxford St. 40 mins to do it, for which I paid 20 (happily). No way even my clever grandsons could have done it. I have a Huawei so maybe this makes it tricky ? Be warned.
Pleased with first ever tracker, ” watch” is very neat and I’d say stylish colour goes with most outfits.
As previously said it’s difficult to read screen in bright sunlight but nothing major.
Sleep tracker is good and I’ve found it very useful to know I’m getting more sleep than I thought I was having ok not deep sleep but least you can work on the different areas of sleep.
App on iPhone very good and easy to follow.
Only downside is when you sleep watchband feels heavy but think that’s just a matter of getting use to it. X
I use it to keep fit, so I know when I’ve done 10,000 steps — but sometimes that’s not accurate – it can add steps when you’re sitting down! But it’s good enough. It also shows how much water you drink, and also what your sleep pattern is – very interesting – and your heart rate etc. The only drawback for me is that it’s impossible to see the face in strong sunlight – but other than that I’d recommend it.
I wanted a simple device that told me the time, prompted me to drink enough water, to get up and dance around regularly and to go places I’ve agreed to be. I’ve used my phone for these things for years, but it’s not always handy.
I decided on a basic Fitbit 2, nothing fancy, just a watch with extras. Lots cheaper than an Apple Watch, and I could use it just as a watch if I didn’t find the extras helpful. As someone who suffers from chronic anxiety, I tried the mood setting. I’ve tried to be positive but the negative emotions have all come from trying to work the Fitbit (my previous IT experience is: formerly in information management, now a keen photographer who can use Lightroom and Photoshop, neither of which is simply press-a-button stuff) so, my experience:
– Time:Turn my wrist towards me – pot luck whether anything happens, although time will flash up without prompting when least expected.
– Drink and Dance Prompts: let’s say spontaneously irregular
– Alarm: Forget it
– Sleep: I decided I might as well get some insights. So I know what time I turn off my light to sleep and I know I don’t lie awake long, and I know when I wake up. I know because I’m still checking the times on my phone. Fitbit seems to be monitoring someone else’s sleep times, despite me wearing it, and the app provides interesting charts for the times it bothers to follow me. Really, I do sleep more than the 2hrs 50mins a night that has recorded several times on my phone app.
– Finding Icons: There weren’t many when I set it up. Then there were a lot. Since then they seem a bit random and limited in number. I presume they are also monitoring someone else.
– Heart Monitor: My phone app assures me I’m alive.
I am really glad I didn’t take the free annual subscription – I didn’t want to try to cancel or tie myself in to something I kept having to pay for. I can imagine trying to break through the dead zone that is my Fitbit to block a fee that costs twice as much as my sort-of-wristwatch-with-added features.
I use it for tracking sleep, exercise, water and calorie consumption and with the app all these are easy to do and informative. The Premium subscription doesn’t seem to add much for my purposes but your mileage may vary.
The screen is difficult to see outdoors and the touch screen is erratic (on a good day). Starting and stopping the exercise run app takes upwards of a minute of poking, swiping, squinting and pinching (while your PB is ebbing away! ). Using the run app does give a map of the route taken, pace stats and times on the app if you have your phone GPS connected and with you. Otherwise if you just want the (approximate) duration, heart rate zone and calories burned it will usually detect a run automatically and you don’t have to mess with the app on the tracker itself.
For 45, just having it on my wrist to monitor exercise and sleep via the phone app is a good deal. The apps on the tracker itself are a “bonus” but a pain to use. For me the Premium app subscription doesn’t look like good value.
UPDATE – Worked out that when they say “tap” they don’t mean touch as on your phone or tablet. It is literally a sharp tap for the motion sensor to pick up rather than a touch screen (although weirdly you can also swipe?). If you literally “tap” reasonably sharply it does tend to react better when starting and stopping the run app, but it is still quite an involved process – especially outdoors when you can’t see what you are doing on the screen too well. Finally, let the phone GPS connect in run mode before you tap the big triangle to start the run. See the top of the screen for the tiny triangle to stop moving and say “connected”.
So far, so good. Initially had a little trouble getting it to reliably sync with a mobile phone (Samsung A12), but that seems to have settled down now. Charges quickly and holds a charge for a long time, which is a good thing, given that the instructions recommend you wear it 24×7, so your best charging opportunity is when you’re in the bath 🙂
Hard to tell how accurate the device is as I have no frame of reference in terms of sleep monitoring and the like. However, it is pretty accurate in terms of heart rate.
Not signed up for the premium trial yet, so can’t comment on that.
It works well with my iPhone but is constantly dropping the bluetooth connection to my iPad. That is really annoying as I have to make sure first it has updated on my iPhone and only then will it update on my iPad.
Maybe the new Fitbit would hold the bluetooth connections better? Well as I only wanted it for a few reasons it wasn’t worth the extra money to get the newer Fitbit plus this one came with a full year of free Premium, so that swayed my choice too.
I bought mine purely for the sleep and heartrate monitor. I have a lot of trouble sleeping and anxiety so it helps me manage both a little easier, and has even helped me monitor my stress levels. I love the silent alarm too, I’ve used that many times since purchase.
I haven’t really used the fitness trainer side yet but, I like that it counts my steps every day.
As a watch, it’s hard to see the screen outside, even with the brightness on. So it’s not practical in that regard. But I do love the different options for customisation. My Mum loves the owl clock lol.
We both find the original straps to be bulky and thick, which can cause sweat and irritation after long wear, but they’re sturdy and the colours are nice. Took me a few days to get used to sleeping with it on.
My old chunkier fitbit started to give very odd feedback clearly not correct. I bought this one as have a small bony wrist and wanted a lighter, neater and more comfy fitbit that provides sufficient feedback to aid me in trying to keep up a daily exercise routine. It’s easy to read time even though it’s a small face. The info provided is sufficient for my needs. I don’t use all the options but steps, active zone target, mileage covered and calories used is what I really think is most useful. Would recommend.
Because I wear it on my ankle, only taking it off for showers and charging, and other than that I’m not touching it at all, the battery is lasting me 17 days between charging and I could probably squeeze out a couple more days if I wanted to, taking it to the limit at around 20 days. I don’t use the screen on the Fitbit at all. You can move all the categories around in the app, so whilst I have food, water, bpm, and weight as my top four you might decide to have different ones. Being able to customise all the options as to what is important to you is really useful. I have found the app extremely easy to use and figure out how to get the most out of it.
I get everything I need from the app on my phone. I’m not interested in logging the different types of exercise, only how much I have done in the fat burn / cardio zones. When exercising at home I like to be able to see that I’m in the fat burn / cardio zones on my phone and if I’m not I can push myself to put in more effort.
Logging whatever I eat is easy, particularly due to the custom food option, so I can log exactly what I eat and the calories. Once I have added a custom food it stays on the list, which is great. It is also very simple to log what I’m drinking, which helps to keep me hydrated.
Lastly and probably most importantly to me. I’m on a weight loss journey and I have found wearing this gadget helps to keep me motivated. Having lost over 2st 8lbs, in the last 14 weeks, it is really helping me on my journey, and I didn’t have to pay a small fortune for any of the more expensive versions. This does all I need it to.
Would definitely recommend the Fitbit Inspire 2 for people who require simplicity.
I love the little buzzes that tell me I’ve done my allotted activity.
It seems accurate
The face is small – so I can’t read it without my reading glasses.
I’m using it for running, and testing it to sleep tracking. Just tried it for 3 days till today. It works well, but the screen could be brighter outside. Not super easy to see if the day is sunny and clear.
He didn’t want a smart watch, just the steps and watch capability
He was very happy with it, but then noticed issues with the battery and button responsiveness.
Contacted Amazon and sent for repairs and an issue was found so a new one have made been dispatched
Very happy with the service
Quite enjoying it so far. Only had it for 3 days so can’t comment on the accuracy with certainty yet. Some settings are somewhat hidden by you can easily find them by googling or reading the online manual for it. I find it quite comfortable so far and enjoy the variety of settings it has. I’m just over 3 days in and the batter is at 77% so really satisfied with that part. Not so sure how accurately the burned calories can be measured with the weight training option but I guess that’s somewhat expected as it can’t take into account each specific exercise and the weight assosiated to it. Sleep tracking seems fine so far but again, it’s too early to be certain.
If you’re after a simple fitness tracker that does exactly what it says on the box then this is the accessory for you. As a previous Apple Watch user I knew that I didn’t want something too fancy…after all who needs to have a phone call from their wrist? The watch itself is simple yet effective and the details are left to the app offering a much more user friendly experience compared to trying to read everything from a tiny screen. The app itself is fantastic but the premium access is most definitely the cherry on top. It’s easy to use yet provides health details that offer a true insight into your physical well-being. The reminders are a great tool to improve healthier living and the plethora of wellness material is impressive. Really happy with my purchase…plus it gets lots of compliments.
It seems only fair to post an edited review now I’ve had the device for just over a week. During this time I’ve more or less wrangled it into submission. All useful advice was on the “Community” and especial thanks to the user who posted a u-tube instruction as to how to change the clock to 24 hours. What I hadn’t realised was that you had to set up a dashboard on a pc or similar, as WELL AS installing the beastly app and getting the watch synced. It was actually quite easy once I’d had this basic fact pointed out. The lack of any written instructions with the item and the IMO less than helpful online handbook and hints led to my difficulties. I’ve also brightened the display so I can read it and more or less got to grips with the displays on the app, although I haven’t yet worked out how to get it to display steps as a daily and weekly stat, not blooming hourly. I don’t care about water records, but can’t delete, likewise menstrual health (is this only aimed at women?) as I’m long past the menopause. There doesn’t seem to be any way to tell it this! It is however, quite a sleek, smart little thing and I bought some different coloured straps for fun, which with the usual amount of difficulty, I managed to fit. Overall, I’m satisfied with it now, but suspect it is just more elaborate than I really need. It doesn’t record my sleep very accurately, and with lockdown I haven’t had a chance to see whether it ghost counts steps whilst driving. However, it’s good enough to keep.
