Fitbit Inspire HR Heart Rate and Fitness Tracker With S and L Bands, White, One Size, 1 Count

I like the slim fit, heartrate, data easily transferred to look at on phone or a bigger more in depth view on your computer, counts steps accurate enough.I like the challenge of high step numbers for most of the week.This is my first activity moniter of any count, and bought to keep motivation after using Noom for 4 months and losing the weight I wanted to lose. So far, so good. Wore it for a couple weeks , some nights,. Then off and on.I've gone days without wearing it and then will wear it for days.I got it somewhat on sale through Amazon and paid a little more for the white and black Panda, but I was fine with that.The charging lasts for days. I am a pretty frugal spender so I felt a little frivolous buying something not completely necessary, but if it keeps me at the weight I want to be, then I deal with needing a motivator, or at least having success with using one. And it is not the Fitbit, but the rehabilitated eating skills i learned in the 4 month Noom program, very worth it, because the weight will melt off quick if you stick to program., without extra exercise, which will increase when your body feels better with less weight. Because of my reformed habits and smaller appetite I now use Fitbit for a fun look at how much i have been active, and you could check heartrate when exercising to get in the burn zone. FITBIT was a one time purchase, and can do all the things Noom did, especially counting your calories and all the data you want to fool with. I suggest to people wanting to lose weight to try using an activity tracker possibly along with the NOOM program. Both have been very worth the money and I am very happy 18 lbs lighter. You will get over the shock of the restricted calories within 36 hours and can eat anything, just less of it, or structured days eating lightt and then anything for dinner. Your stomach shrinks when it goes without extra for a few days. And then will be satified with a healthy portion. It doesn't take long. Having good filling foods on hand and losing the bun and extra breads and sugars are sure ways to success. Making vege soup or soupbeans and eating on that for days is a good idea. These programs are working for a lot of people with any amount to lose.

I bought this because I needed something that was going to track my heart rate during an intense kickboxing workout I started, but it does so much more than that! I'm not entirely sure how accurate the heart rate is, but it appears to be pretty consistent with when I check my own pulse. It also tracks steps, which are fairly accurate. I would say margin of error is about 2-5%. I'm super happy with the Fitbit and am buying it as a gift for my health-conscious friends!! I also am not someone who likes the apple watches or smart watches because it's too bulky and I dont want to be "connected" to my phone 24/7, but I *really* like this little gadget!Pros:-Looks stylish (I have the white and black and it looks great with my street clothes)-Tracks heart rate, steps, activity time, etc. pretty accurately-The mobile app tracks sleep and gives sleep scores, which helped me understand that the amount of calories/macros I'm eating affects my sleep patterns and now I can adjust accordingly-The mobile app automatically connects with the Fitbit to show base rate calories burned based on your height/weight/body fat %.-The mobile app allows me to track my calorie intake and shows macro counts and compares everything to calories in vs. calories expended. I find this app to be more accurate nutritionally than myfitnesspal and other apps I've used-quick charge, long battery. I've had it for a week and just had to charge it now-Option for dominant and non-dominant arm settings. Depending on which arm you prefer it on, it will adjust the readings based on that arm.-Great value for the price-shows time automatically when you turn your arm, and view stats by touching the screenCons:-the band does dig into your arm to track heart rate properly. This can be very uncomfortable during sleep and workouts. I kick box, so under the glove it's pretty uncomfortable. I was pretty bruised the first few days using it but I'm used to it now and it's ok-I dont like the fact that it's connected to my phone messages and calls because I can't reply back directly from it... and also I dont always *need to know* when I get a text or call.

I liked my Fitbit Inspire HR so much that after five years (and the battery not holding its charge as well as when new), I decided to get a new one. As Google took over Fitbit, I ordered a new watch from the Google store, but the Inspire HR model was unavailable, so I ordered the Inspire 3 model. I did not like it nearly as much as my Inspire HR for various reasons (clock face and "home" display options, as well as a timer that only went up to 59 minutes, not 99 hours), so I returned it and ordered the Inspire HR model from Amazon. It was a little more expensive but well worth the difference. As long as this model is available, it will be my go-to watch, as I really like the variety of functions available and the customizable display.
