The stylish Fitbit Luxe is inspired by jewellery and created for its looks, as much as its features. There are a few missteps, however, like inconsistent performance, awkward device management, no altimeter (which the Charge 4 offered) and a few previously-available features that simply weren’t present on the Charge 5 at launch, when they really should have been. Its built-in GPS means it’s a tracker that can match the pricier smartwatches, though it can’t take calls, like the Sense and Versa 3 can. It covers all the basics – tracking steps, distance, calories burned, hourly activity, heart rate, swim-tracking and advanced sleep, not to mention it has most of the top-end exercise features too, including Active Zone Minutes. Fitbit has cherry-picked some of the best and brightest features from its latest trackers and smartwatches to create a Goldilocks product that delivers an impressive breadth of functionality for the price, not to mention wrapping it up in a lightweight and stylish package. The Charge 5 is easily our best all-round Fitbit activity tracker. Fitness fanatics will want something more advanced, such as the Charge 4, Charge 5, Versa 3 or Sense – but for most of us, the Inspire 2 will be all we need. This is a great price for a light, smart-looking device with a solid feature set. It lacks the colour screen boasted by the Fitbit Luxe and Charge 5 tracker-style Fitbits, but offers greater value for money. If activity tracking is what you’re after, the Fitbit Inspire 2 delivers in an affordable package.Īt the moment, it’s also the only Fitbit with integrated Tile location finding, if you mislay it. The heart-rate monitor deepens the device’s exercise analysis and makes its sleep tracking far more sophisticated.

Sure, it also lacks an altimeter (so won’t count the floors you climb), but otherwise is almost as capable as Fitbit’s more expensive trackers It lacks the built-in GPS found in the Charge 5, Charge 4, Versa 3 and Sense but will connect to your phone’s GPS if you need location services for pace measurements. The Fitbit Inspire 2’s fitness feature set covers the basics very well: steps, calories burned, Active Zone Minutes, distance travelled, heart rate, advanced Sleep Stages measurement, swim tracking, guided relaxation breathing, the ability to auto-detect workouts with reasonable accuracy, and notifications. It’s our favourite Fitbit, as it has a great screen and all the fitness features found in even the top-end Fitbit Sense. 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.
