The Fitbit Inspire 3, a popular fitness tracker, is still available at a reduced price on Amazon even after Prime Day has ended. Priced at £59.99, down from £84.99, it is only £3 more than the deal offered during the Prime Day event. This demonstrates that consumers may not always save significantly by purchasing during the annual sale.
Features and Performance
Henry Burrell, Deputy Technology Editor, has extensively tested the Fitbit Inspire 3 since its 2022 release. He notes its long battery life, which can last up to 10 days with light use and consistently provided a full week on a single charge. The device includes connected GPS for tracking runs when linked to a smartphone.
For those who prefer to leave their phone at home, the Fitbit Charge 6, with built-in GPS, is available for £79.99, £20 more than the Inspire 3.
Design and Usability
The Fitbit Inspire 3 is available in black or orange strap options. While its small colour display is not ideal for reading texts, it effectively shows the time and key metrics like step count. The device links to the Google Health app, formerly the Fitbit app, where users can view a daily readiness score out of 100 based on recent data.
Its slim, lightweight design makes it comfortable for sleep tracking, which Burrell praises as top-notch, helping him adjust his bedtime routine.
Subscription and Value
The Inspire 3 can be used without a subscription, but Google Health Premium is available for £7.99 per month, adding features like the AI Coach that offers personalised tips. Purchasing the Inspire 3 for £59.99 includes six months of Google Health Premium free.
Amazon has not specified how long the offer will last. An alternative is the Huawei Band 10, with a larger AMOLED screen, currently £27.99 at Argos.
