Best review on Fitbit Inspire 2 I've watched. It's on sale now, so I'm gonna get it. I don't care about the smartwatchy things. My main interest is to become more active, and having accuracy when tracking my activity.

That's why I got it, to be more active. It becomes addictive. I'm constantly watching the steps and trying to beat the day before. It also tells you when you are in cardio or fat burning mode.

I agree with you 100%! I like the size of this Fitbit (such as Alta, Inspire series) and I don’t care these huge smart watch type that much. (I know they would be convenience as a watch, but for exercising and daily use, I like more compact ones better. )

Thanks for this review! It really helped seal the deal with my decision to get the Inspire 2. It took a little longer to set it up and get used to the features than expected, but it works great! I'm finding all of the metrics are very accurate so far. I love stats, so this is motivating me to move more and workout harder.

@Codysurfsup Жыл бұрын

In my experience of owning a 3rd party smartwatch is yes they are cheaper by a lot, but when the watch gets older, app syncing becomes an issue since the developers for the apps aren't dedicated or maybe don't have the resources available to keep up with old products. So eventually those old products get discontinued. If you go with a Fitbit brand, you're also buying the piece of mind that your watch will have continued support, meaning your watch will have more longevity as new smart watch products come out.

I have a Samsung smart watch that is great and I use it for text and phone calls but I was starting to scratch it while at work. Keeping track of doctor's calls while my wife was in the hospital with Covid-19 is why I started to wear it at work and even though I did put a couple of scratches on it, I still needed to use it in case my wife's doctors or nurses were calling. OK, so now that my wife is home and has been for quite a while now, I wanted to get something that would keep up with my steps taken at work and also something that if I break it or scratch it badly, I won't care be so concerned about it. This device works great, it's simple yet effective for what I use it for and it's at a good price point for what it is.
