Avoid it at all cost

published

It looks good on the surface, but it is a nightmare using it everyday. The connectivity to iPhone is terrible. The syncing constantly stops and the fitbit needs a reset almost everyday. After reset, you have to set alarms, alerts, activities, etc. from start again. The exercises list always show 5 "Pilates" instead of the customized exercises in the app.



This is the WORST digital product I've ever used in my life. It is a shame that Fitbit can't get the most fundamental functions to work smoothly.

Please stay away from this product and the company. It is not a reliable product.

Works ok but needs resetting

good unit for an entry level user.
Has needed a soft reset on several occasions due to freezing.
battery lasts well, 5 to 7 days.
It does prompt me to reach my step level each day.

Bought for my daughter

published

Frustrating that my 10 year old daughter can not have a kids account for a non child watch. My daughter only fits the adult watch and for longevity it was a smart buy. Terribly frustrating there was no kids account though. I had to set it up for my husband. Great easy to use watch though. Very easy to charge.

FIT AF

Love my fitbit - I have never had a problem with it and its encouraged me to live a healthier lifestyle.The battery lasts 5 days, its small and looks more like an accessory than a fitness watch. Also very easy to clean :)

Awesome fitness tracker/watch and good price.

published

Good reliable waterproof fitness tracker. Various watch face options great for visually impaired. Easy to set up and App compatability excellent with range of 'optional' extras available (none of which I have the need to use). Good battery time (6 days using all exercise functions) and quick to charge. A good variety of optional bands and face surrounds available online to personalise totally.

Great, but wish the screen was less prone to scratches

published

Have been wearing it for a month now, love the sleep tracking function, notifications (though Bluetooth range isn’t too great, but they still work); love the counting itself, how much more I can get from the app compared to my old One! Just concerned that the screen is already slightly scratched and with wearing it 24/7 it can get damaged badly real soon!

Great watch

published

Purchased 2 for my children, they love their watches. Set up was not completely straight forward but eventually worked it out. Connects to app on iPhone/iPad. Tracks heart rate, steps taken, sleep and lots more. Needs charging once a week.

Good Product

published

This product is good and quite good automatically tracking my workouts. I have found issues though when running. I'll set it up on the run setting and a few minutes into my run I'll go to check the timer and its turned off my run tracker. I'm not sure what is happening. Maybe I run too slowly but it stays on when I walk...

Makes people move.

published

This was purchased for my partner who is somewhat uninspired by any exercise. The colours are nice with lilac her favourite and the HR function something she now looks at. She checks the app, her sleep, and tries to get her steps up every day. Essentially the tracker does what it's been designed to do and perhaps targeted at - those who simply need to move more and they certainly outnumber those who already move enough. This new release was a little on the expensive side given it's functions are no different to Alta HR and so it comes down to the look when purchasing - Inspire is new, somewhat dressy, more wearable. makes a great gift, for a person who needs it and would use it.

Makes getting fit so easy

Have had other fitness trackers that were OK but the Inspire HR is the best one yet. Love the display especially the heart rate monitor. More comfortable to wear in bed.

Sleek and Simple Fitbit Cost Effective Many Features Swim Proof

published

If you want an Apple Watch look alike you won't want this! But if you want a well designed and unobtrusive fitness tracker with many basic features at an affordable price point, this one is for you! I love the sleek minimal design, not big or bulky. Water and swim proof so you can wear in the shower is useful. The HR model tracks heart health, as well as the usual features. Phone alerts are passed on, great when my phone is buried in my handbag :) The display face gives you access to all the info you want at the swipe of a finger, and is customisable. My only gripe is the usual less than optimal battery life, and why does every Fitbit model have a different charging cable??? Otherwise happy with my purchase.
