   I’m really sad that this Inspire 2 is catching so much grief in the reviews here, but what I believe it boils down to is most people only leave bad reviews. If someone is happy with something they usually won’t take the time to come on an write about it unless it is beyond brilliant. I wont go so far as to say this fitbit is that, but it is a wonderful gadget and personally I find no truths in what many here are complaining about. Firstly I would like to start with, if comparing to the HR and making a decision between the two, definitely go with the newer model. It does more; like the 24/7 heart rate monitor which is really great to keep an eye on, the active zones and a great battery life. So far I’ve gone 4 days with no charge and only gotten to 65%, that’s incredible to me. Not to mention this new model includes a free year of premium which has a lot of great stuff in it like fitness guides and mediation exercises.When I was making the decision I read pros and cons comparisons and ultimately it was these and the sluggish touch screen on the HR that led me to choose the Inspire 2. I’m glad I did, I have zero regrets. And for some reason this is cheaper right now than the older model! (Edit: it looks like that was pre holiday sale and it’s more expensive now which does make sense, it is better) It’s functioning flawlessly. It was a great price, is very easy to use, and really is a good little motivator.I love the gentle alarms, the relax exercises, and the little reminders to drink water and exercise. The sleep tracking is really fascinating and a personal goal of mine to work on, this is a major help to me in that regard. I love that it is swim safe as well, since I’m big on swimming.I have pretty small wrists, and while it sits off of it a bit, it’s not overly bulky and is light, and by no means bothersome.Also the recommendation for wearing it is slightly loose, not snug, and I find the best position for it is just above the ulna.As far as people having trouble with it getting stuck on one screen and always showing their weight or constantly buzzing with alerts? That is 100% user error. I will say with confidence if you take your time to sit down and just read through and explore the app with patience, it is all very user friendly. These screens can be backed out of, changed, and alarms/ reminders set or cancelled.There was also a review that mentioned there’s no way to view the HR on the main screen, and you have to swipe through 5 times or so to get to it. While that is one way, there is also the quick function on the home screen just below the clock, tapping this will cycle through which to display (HR, calories, active zones, miles, and steps) so you can have your HR and time visible anytime.My two biggest “issues” with it which are very minor, would be the band, which tends to irritate the skin slightly with constant wear. Cleaning, switching wrists or bands is a simple solution.The other one is that the steps aren’t incredibly accurate, they give a rough idea, but I tend to halve mine based off of my walking routes that I know. This is a broad guess on my part, steps matter least to me but it’s probably closer to 75% accurate.Keeping that and the relatively low price in mind, I think this is a wonderful all over health tracker and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quality tracker at a reasonable price and healthier lifestyle. It is a small piece of plastic that I find quite incredible at what it is capable of doing for being so tiny, and am amazed at all of the extras in this!

   UPDATE: Fitbit no longer offers an app for use with Windows on a computer.In order to use this product, you need to “activate” it by syncing it with the Fitbit app. Beyond that, you will get a lot more data by using it with the app, but you can still see some daily data on the device itself (which clears on its own at the end of the day). Also the app is needed to do some customizing (such as setting what your “active” hours are). ***BEORE PURCHASING, I recommend making sure you have a device (smartphone or tablet) that will work with the app, which is a free download. IF YOU CANNOT DOWNLOAD THE APP TO ONE OF YOUR DEVICES, THIS PRODUCT WON’T WORK! Please note that the apps available may not be compatible with an older smartphone or tablet (and older may mean only a couple of years).In addition to the app, there is a dashboard available by logging into the Fitbit website. I can’t speak to the smartphone app, but regarding the Windows app, you’ll get different views of your data on the website as compared to the app (for example, the website will show you # of steps by five-minute increments throughout the day, but the app just gives you steps for the whole day and also which of your “active” hours had at least 250 steps). On both the website and app you can see your historical data. **UPDATE: Fitbit no longer allows you to download an app for use with Windows on a computer, however this info may be helpful if you downloaded the app before they discontinued it. VERY IMPORTANT: If you are only planning to sync with a computer, you need to buy a separate FITBIT WIRELESS SYNC DONGLE. You also need to make sure your computer has BLUETOOTH capabilities and that they are turned on (if not, I believe there may be a separate dongle you can purchase for Bluetooth). The sync dongle allows your Fitbit to transfer data to your computer and you must sync at least once for the product to work. The syncing occurs with the app open (not to be confused with the website dashboard). It should happen automatically, but can be manually prompted if necessary.The product itself arrives with only a miniscule amount of instructions. The full user manual is on their website, and an internet search will find any number of other websites with helpful instructions for doing things the manual doesn’t cover well or at all (that’s how I learned about the required dongle).I don’t have experience with other fitness trackers for comparison. This works well enough for my needs–I got it for a wellness program at work and the data can be synced directly to that wellness program’s website. I don’t think the step counter is 100% accurate. I am pretty sure it undercounts, but even if it is 90% accurate, that is good enough for my purposes. I haven’t tried out the sleep tracking features yet, so can’t comment on those.I find the manual to be lacking and wish it had been more clear at the time of purchase or even with the product in hand that the dongle was needed to use it with a computer. (I guess they think we are all supposed to be privileged enough to own brand new smartphones.)I have a very small wrist and the smallest wristband attachment worked for me–you’ll want to wear it three fingers above your wrist bone. I often wear it clipped to my waistband instead (separate purchase to get the clips), which seems to work as well for step counting, although the vibration reminder to move is subtle and hard to feel when wearing this way. Taking the wrist straps on and off does require decent manual dexterity.

   Using my Fitbit is an important part of making sure I have enough sleep, and that my sleep is of good quality. It also keeps me aware of how much movement I have each day. It’s easy to tell yourself stories about how active you are, but seeing a numerical value keeps it real. I also use it to keep an eye on my overall stress level. I’ve noticed that my resting heart remains elevated during times of stress.When my son was having chest pain with exertion we were able to figure out at how many heartbeats per minute this was happening because he used to Fitbit during practice. It was a helpful diagnostic tool.I like that the Fitbit is not over complicated and mine is the size of a a small watch. The app is easy to use and understand while still providing a lot of information. I’m not a performance athlete, I’m just a regular person who wants to keep an eye some metrics for my health and this is perfect for it.I’m probably on my third Fitbit. At some point after wearing them every day, it seems like they lose the ability to charge. I also made the mistake of getting into a hot tub too often with it which is not a great idea. The older models used to be a little difficult to connect to the charger, but a new improvement in the charger connection fixed this.
