I already own a fitbit but bought this as a present for a teen who is now obssessed with it and all its features for exercise, time keeping and the general features around wellness.
Compared to smart watches, this seems basic, but I wanted a step tracker and a watch, and this does both! It has a sleep tracker too, although I’m not convinced it’s completely accurate! Still, I love this watch and hope it lasts!
Took me some time to go through all the features as I’m not tech savvy. Tried the premium and ok so far. Has more features than I wanted but a good Fitbit. Battery does last over a week.
The watch works well and has some good features, however, it can be hard to see the display in bright daylight, you also have to manually sync it each morning to get your sleep data etc.
I’ve had this for six months now and find it encourages me to do more exercise. It also tells me I’ve walked the length of Italy in the time I’ve been using it. So, that’s a fun fact to know.
I think this is a really good product for the price, I’m not one for wearing watches so love the smaller design and ss a woman just looking to monitor her activity and overall health this is perfect. If you want a simple, easy to use smart watch I can highly recommend
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!!!
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.
I really like mine, not as high tech as my Apple Watch I had but works fine considering how much cheaper it is! Great you can use it in the pool, you just put the water lock on. Great for keeping up with your steps and fitness tracker. Tells you when someone is ringing or texting you. 5 out of 5 stars from me.
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 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.
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.
This is my first ever Fitbit and i was suitably impressed with all the features for such a reasonable cost. I honestly dont know how i lived without one. The app is great too and is free for a year. Ive been walking at least 5K everyday since getting my Fitbit and i have managed to control my calorie intake to 1300 very easily using the food tracker on the app. I wish id got one years ago!
I wanted a basic fitness tracker; steps & heartrate, and with a good battery life. It’s sensitive and records movement well, unlike my previous FitBit, and heartrate seems accurate enough. I don’t use it as a sleep tracker, so I can’t say if that function is any good.
Stylish pink, slightly thicker/bulkier than I expected but still fine. I’d like the app to show a monthly calendar instead of having to scroll through days, but otherwise fine. Good value.
This watch is brilliant! Unfortunately; I had to purchase a different strap as the silicone pink strap it came with caused skin irritation! I have seen other reviews where people have had to do the same.
The watch itself is very good, so far I have had no issues. I have an iPhone 11 and the app connected perfectly fine to the inspire 2. (I have seen previous reviews stating that it is not compatible with iPhone running iOS 13.9 or later. I am running on iOS 14.8 and it’s absolutely fine!!!
Would definitely recommend as a cheaper option compared to other smart watches if you are just wishing to track your steps and exercise.
Overall I am happy and will keep the inspire 2.
This fitbit has changed my life! I now realise how little calories I burn at rest. No wonder the lockdown pounds have added up! I have realised I have to move every day to lose weight. This fitbit has made it easier to track calories and exercise. I have lost a stone in weight with tracking my food and moving more over the last 6 weeks. This fitbit also tracks the quality of your sleep this has been life changing for me as I always thought I got 8 hours of sleep a night although always felt tired. I now realise the quality of my sleep is poor and this is something I am working on with the use of this fitbit. I also track water intake which has also made a difference to my health.
I brought the fitbit with the pink strap which I love. I charge the battery every 7 days although the battery is usually at 75 percent on day 7. I will be ordering another for my friend as a birthday present . Definitely worth the money
