Tracking is automatic and in our tests was very accurate for steps and heart rate, the two main metrics you will get from the Inspire 3.

It’s subtle and comfortable and comes with three strap colour options. The Inspire 3 is the best version yet of Fitbit’s simple fitness band, adding a colour screen for the first time. It’s our favourite Fitbit (even better than the Versa 4), as it has a great screen and all the fitness features you could want. We also still recommend it above the newer Versa 4 and Sense 2 – Versa 3 has all the features you need, and actually supports third party apps and music controls, unlike the newer models.

High and Low Heart Rate Notifications – which were previously an exclusive Sense feature – are now part of the Versa 3’s wheelhouse too. While the Sense has more detailed health apps and sensors such as EDA, ECG and Skin Temperature, plus stress-management tools, we think these are over the top for most users, and the Versa 3 range of features is more than enough, and at a much better price. And its screen is just as large and bright. It matches the more expensive Fitbit Sense on all fitness features and most health functions, too. You can even take and respond to phone calls on your wrist, as it has a built-in microphone and speaker.

It offers on-screen notifications from your phone, silent alarms, cardio fitness levels, workout and other exercise modes such as swimming and weights, female health tracking, and wellness features, plus music controls and Amazon’s Alexa and Google voice assistant. The Fitbit Versa 3 covers all the aspects of a fitness watch, measuring steps, heart rate, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, active minutes, hourly activity and sleep, with plenty of extra health features (such as SpO2 blood-oxygen readings), plus built-in GPS, for those who outdoor exercise without their phone.
