However, like the Charge 4, it’s irritating that a screen so lacklustre isn’t always-on.

It doesn’t feel lacking like the Charge 4 does, just because visual feedback is so minimal. It’s not winning any awards for screen clarity and does have issues with legibility in bright, direct sunshine, but it does the job. The display itself maximizes the width of the unit and is a greyscale 128 x 72 touchscreen. And it still manages 50 meters of water resistance. The upside is that it weighs just 20 grams, making it barely noticeable to wear, and easy to sleep with. Fitbit's riposte isn't simply to cram in every feature under the sun but to make its tracker better value for money while sticking to the formula that has made it a powerhouse in the world of wearables. Natural comparisons will be made with the Xiaomi Mi Band 4, Garmin Vivosmart 4, and Samsung Galaxy Fit. What's more, with a generous screen, it will also display notifications and your goal data too.Īlthough often available cheaper, the Inspire HR is pretty wallet-friendly, and sits below Fitbit's new Charge 4, which offers more data and more advanced metrics, and is better suited to committed fitness types.

The Fitbit Inspire HR manages to combine heart-based activity tracking, workout detection and powerful sleep monitoring into a small and discreet wristband form. But over a year after its release, is it still a contender? We've been using the Fitbit Inspire HR for much of the last year, and felt it was time to update our review against the latest fitness trackers.

It doesn't look like Fitbit's going to replace its device any time soon. The Inspire HR is Fitbit's low-cost, entry-level tracker – but that doesn't stop it from being a surprisingly powerful health and activity device that will suit plenty of people.
