Fitness Trackers / Fitbit
Fitbit Inspire 3 (2022)
Ten-day battery and a real screen for $99.95 — but the GPS is your phone's.
Overall score 6.6/10
Pros
- + Ten days between charges beats the Charge 6 by three and the Apple/Samsung watches by a week
- + Both band sizes in the box, and 5 ATM means you can swim in it
- + Cheapest route into the Fitbit/Google Health ecosystem with a real screen
- + Same free sleep-stage data as the Charge 6 for $60 less
Cons
- − Connected GPS only — the phone has to come with you or the run has no distance or route
- − The 10-day claim collapses if you enable the always-on display, by Google's own admission
- − No ECG hardware and no exercise-equipment heart-rate broadcast
- − Yet another proprietary charger, and it is not the Charge 5/6/Luxe cable
- − Now four years old and outflanked by the newer, screenless Fitbit Air at the same price
Fitbit Inspire 3 (2022) review: what the specs say
Ten-day battery and a real screen for $99.95 — but the GPS is your phone's. At $99.95, Fitbit's 2022 model sits in the middle of the range — the fitness Trackers we compare run from $51.99 to $359. It scores 6.6/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Battery Life at 8.5/10 — real endurance once continuous heart rate, SpO2 and the always-on display are enabled, not just the headline figure.. The weakest is Phone Independence at 2.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: connected GPS only — the phone has to come with you or the run has no distance or route; and the 10-day claim collapses if you enable the always-on display, by Google's own admission. Every specification on this page comes from Fitbit's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
