Cleverly, however, any workouts you do will be detected, tracked and logged automatically by the Inspire, even if you don’t tell it what you’re doing, so you don’t really need to use your phone.Īuto detection isn’t an exact science, and you shouldn’t expect pinpoint accuracy: all fitness bands that attempt this feature will take at least a minute or two to realise what you’re up to, and not all are able to retrospectively add on the calories burned and time elapsed before the detection was triggered. You can log exercise by tapping the plus button on the Fitbit app’s dashboard, but not from the device itself – not very convenient.
Tap again and you’ll see how many hours today you’ve achieved the target. $69.95, or a silicone strap with a choice of attractive prints forīeyond these self-explanatory stats, continuing to swipe brings up the number of steps you’ve taken in the current hour, out of a target of 250 (and the Fitbit can optionally give you a reminder 10 minutes before the hour if you’re short of this). Fortunately, the strap is easily replaceable, and Fitbit sells a stainless steel mesh band for The elastomer strap which comes with the Inspire is also basic but we found the ‘peg and loop’ clasp fiddly to put on and take off – it requires some force to insert or extricate the stud and this is hard to do with one hand when pressing against a soft wrist. Pressing in the centre is more satisfying and reliable, albeit still slightly rattly-feeling – more Casio watch than Apple Watch.
The button is relatively long (1cm) but it’s harder to get a response if you press the top or bottom third of that. You can swipe to navigate the interface (more on that later), and even though this is not quite the instant-response swiping you’ll get on a smartphone it’s a step up from the ‘tap screen’ provided on the Fitbit Alta. And as small and unassuming as it is, props to Fitbit for including a touchscreen.
