An infrared sensor means there’s the ability to track blood oxygen levels at night to offer further wellness insights. It does make room for a heart rate monitor, which can serve up insightful metrics like resting heart rate and also gives you access to more exercise-centric insights like unlocking Active Zone Minutes and seeing your Cardio Fitness Score. Especially when it’s such a light and comfortable tracker to take to sleep and wear all day. The aim of the Inspire 3 is to give you those Fitbit tracking staples like counting steps, nudging you when you’re not active and delving deep into sleep as well, and that’s where it excels.
The main being the introduction of an AMOLED touchscreen display, which isn’t the largest you’ll find on a Fitbit device, but does make checking activity tracking progress a much nicer thing to do now. Charging each night before bed or first time in the morning isn’t ideal.The Fitbit Inspire 3 is the most affordable member of the Fitbit clan and makes some significant design changes from previous Inspires to make it a much nicer wearable to live with. Frankly, that’s a pretty big advantage over Apple’s stated 18 hours. As it stands, I was able to get several days on a single charge with the feature switched off. Your mileage is going to vary considerably, however, depending on whether you opt for the always on display and other features. That’s something Fitbit’s been good at for a while. SpO2, in particular, will become an increasingly important factor in sleep going forward, as these devices look to track things like sleep apnea.Īnother big piece of sleep is battery life. SpO2 and heart rate are also factored into the picture.
While Apple’s offering largely revolves around things like time in bed and time asleep, Fitbit provides a fuller picture, including, importantly, sleep quality, broken up by REM, light and deep sleep. The array of sensors go a long ways toward providing a more complete picture of your sleep over the course of the night.
The latter is attempting to change that with the latest version of watchOS, but still has a lot of work to do in order to catch up. Sleep tracking is one place Fitbit has had Apple beat for some time.
