The verdict Good: Easy to charge, a little over a week per charge, and the information you need at a glance.
Our Verified Review
Owned and tested by our reviewer, Deborah
Deborah has had her black Fitbit Inspire 3 for almost a year. She likes that it is easy to charge and gives the information you need or want at a glance. She also likes that it reminds her to move, especially on days when work keeps her in a chair for long periods of time.
A charge lasts a little over a week, which she finds handy. She usually charges it when it gets down to about 18% while watching television or reading, so she still gets maximum tracking for the day. After almost a year, she has been pleased with the durability, appearance and charging. Her verdict: Good.
The Good ✅

- A Little Over a Week per Charge: A charge lasts a little over a week, which she finds handy.
- Holding Up Well: After almost a year she’s pleased with the durability, appearance and charging.
The Not Good ❌
Flaws, but not deal-breakers.
- Nothing Major: Deborah didn’t name anything that bugs her. She plans charging around downtime, at about 18%, so she doesn’t miss tracking.

What others think
How our verdict compares with other reviews
Overall reception: Well liked as a budget tracker. TechRadar rates it four stars and calls it an ideal budget fitness tracker, and Business Insider calls it its favorite budget fitness tracker.
Where owners agree: Owners like that it’s small, light and comfortable, with a bright screen, long battery life and step, heart rate and sleep tracking for the price. Most agree the small screen is cramped for notifications and that there’s no built-in GPS.
Where owners disagree: The software. Many owners have no problems, while others report charging or phone-connection trouble, frozen touchscreens and sleep-tracking or app problems since the move to the Google Health app.
Our take: Deborah is on the happy side: easy charging, a little over a week per charge, helpful move reminders and no durability issues after almost a year.
