4/30/2023 0 Comments Compare fitbit modelsA bit of extra battery life on the Inspire HR is appreciated. Meanwhile the Versa Lite lasts about four days (closer to three-plus for me). The Inspire HR should last about five days, but it was more like four in my week of wearing. None of these trackers have onboard GPS, either.įitbit Charge 3: the 2018 tracker might still be the best Goldilocks choice. The Inspire HR doesn't have all those extra watch faces and apps that the Versa does, but Fitbit's app collection is lackluster, and the watch faces either appeal to you or they don't (the Inspire HR's clock faces are perfectly functional and fine). ![]() It tracks sleep, heart rate and functions basically identically for workouts as the Versa does, although onscreen stats that aren't as easy to read because of the smaller screen. The Inspire HR offers a similar package, minus that SpO2 sensor. No Fitbit Coach on-screen workout compatibility.No lap counting or calorie estimates for swim tracking.The sensor can theoretically be used to measure future features like pulse oxygen or breathing interruptions while sleeping, but Fitbit hasn't made those features accessible yet.īut, the Versa Lite Edition is missing some things over the regular Versa that chip away at its value: The Versa Lite Edition is the more complete package than the Inspire HR, since it has an extra SpO2 sensor on the back. The Inspire HR (left) lacks the extra SpO2 sensor of the Fitbit Versa Lite (right), but that's only useful for possible future features. Losing the regular Versa's two extra right-side buttons also means not having shortcuts to exercise modes or stats, and slows things down even more. Swiping and launching apps, and even swiping up to see fitness stats, feels a half-second too slow. That feeling continues here, and it's harder to accept one year later. Last year's Fitbit Versa (and the Fitbit Ionic before it) had a slower-feeling interface than the smooth, zippy feel of the Apple Watch, Galaxy Watches or even most Wear OS watches. A side button acts as a shortcut to settings but doesn't help navigate except to exit out of menus. Swiping is less annoying than it used to be, but you will need to swipe, which seriously active people might not love on sweaty wrists. ![]() Similar to the company's Charge 3 tracker, its black and white display responds quickly and delivers basic stats fast. Inspire HR (top) and Fitbit Versa Lite (bottom) are similar thickness, but very different designs. The pins are small and difficult to slide open, while the Fitbit Charge 3 has easy-to-detach bands. I like both but lean towards the Versa for convenience.īoth Inspire HR and Versa have bands that are weirdly hard to attach and remove. The Versa feels much more prominent and watch-y. Inspire HR's low-key design can turn into jewelry, sort of, with some metal and leather bands. It's surprisingly versatile, but that smaller display is hard to read in bright daylight, and the text can be hard to make out for some eyes. ![]() The Inspire HR screen is touch responsive, and you can swipe to extras like stopwatches, timers, exercise tracking, meditative breathing, and it also shows full fitness stats and receives phone notifications. The Inspire HR is a flat, thin band with a black and white LED display that shows a few clock faces and stats in very small text. ![]() It has its own collection of apps, which can be downloaded from a Fitbit app store within the Fitbit app (which is a little hard to locate). It looks more like an Apple Watch from a distance. The Versa Lite Edition has a bright color screen that, just like last year's Versa, can show off lots of weird, colorful, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly watch faces. +49 more See all photos Design: Do you want a watch, or a band?
