Why is this a good Black Friday deal?
In a world where it’s becoming normal to spend upwards of $300 on a wearable, finding a decent tracker for under a hundred bucks is a challenge. Fitbit did this with the $99 Fitbit Inspire 3, and now it’s even cheaper. This affordable little tracker is perfect for those looking to take their first steps into fitness, without a huge flashy gadget on their wrist, or a huge dent in their pocket. In our Fitbit Inspire 3 review, we were impressed with the bright screen on this little wearable; we found it easy to read, even in direct sunlight. As with the Fitbit Charge 5, the brighter screen instantly gives the tracker a more premium feel. The Fitbit Inspire 3 will track your heart rate, steps, calories, Active Zone Minutes, stress, SpO2, and sleep, all for under $100. From a fitness point of view, you can load up to six different exercise shortcuts onto the watch, but there’s a list of 21 different options to choose from, including run, walk, bike, kickboxing, Pilates, tennis, and golf. This wearable will also track your sleep, but for really advanced sleep metrics, you’ll have to sign up to the Fitbit Premium membership (although you’ll get six months for free when you get the watch). Fitbit says the Inspire 3 has up to 10 days of battery life, and we found this to be pretty accurate. The downside with the Inspire 3 is that it doesn’t have a built-in GPS, so when tracking activities the fitness tracker uses the GPS on your phone. This isn’t the end of the world, but if you’re looking for a tracker to train, perhaps check out the Fitbit Sense 2 or the Fitbit Versa 4, both of which have been on sale in the run-up to Black Friday.
