This is a big plus for a wearable, especially for those who aren’t used to wearing a tracking device while exercising – and particularly in the pool, where some might feel a little intimidated going in with a watch for the first time. I found that, for example, while swimming, it almost felt like I wasn’t wearing a watch at all compared to when I wore my Garmin. Its lightweight and small size also make for seamless integration with your exercise and day-to-day routines. The display is very bright, and features an always-on display mode that lets you check the time and your step count without waking the device. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is the first Inspire to get a color display, and it’s an impressive addition considering that it in our testing it didn't appear to affect the battery life. The silicone grips your skin to just the right degree to avoid uncomfortable movements while exercising, although it might pull a few hairs if you fasten it quite tight – which is recommended for the most accurate heart rate readings. It retains the sleek and light look and feel of its predecessor, and like that device it’s very comfortable on the wrist, and easy to use for most activities. The design of the Fitbit Inspire 3 isn’t much different from the Inspire 2, with a slightly wider and longer main unit and a similarly shaped, although slightly redesigned, silicone band.

Scrolling is a little awkward sometimes.First Inspire model with a color display.Fitbit Inspire 3 review: Design and screen The unit itself is only available in black, but you can choose between black, lilac, and morning glow for the band colors, which also come in two sizes: small and large. The Premium subscription gets you some extra features, including a Daily Readiness Score, a Sleep Profile, and lots of workouts to access through the Fitbit app. If you're planning to continue using Premium, this is a real blow - you're $45/£40/AU$75 worse off than you would have been with the older tracker. The Inspire 2, on the other hand, used to have a one-year subscription, but the Inspire 3 has cut this in line with the rest of Fitbit's devices. It comes with two bands and a charging cable in the box, as well as a six-month subscription to Fitbit Premium.
