Fitbit Inspire 3 review

The Inspire 3 is the tracker to buy if you mostly want the basics done well and cheaply. Google lists all-day steps and heart rate, resting heart rate with notifications when it moves outside your usual range, heart rate variability and skin temperature trends. Sleep tracking records time in light, deep and REM sleep, gives a Sleep Score each morning, and the Smart Wake alarm vibrates during a lighter sleep stage. A color touchscreen shows your stats and phone notifications, and Google rates the battery at up to 10 days, longer than the Charge 6. It connects to your phone's GPS for pace and distance on walks and runs. What you give up is the Charge 6's built-in GPS, ECG app and wallet, and some extras, such as the detailed stress score breakdown and most mindfulness sessions, need Google Health Premium. Google also notes it is meant for shallow water. At $69.95 on sale, it is the cheapest way onto this list.
