You can see this information on the watch itself, and you can always pull up a page on your phone that shows your total steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and a ton of other metrics. The Inspire 2 is also smart enough to figure out what you’ve been doing all day, whether you’ve been walking, swimming, cycling, kicking a ball around, or doing any of over 20 other things.
Even though the Fitbit Inspire 2 has an accelerometer, it does not have GPS tracking built in. If you turn off your Bluetooth on your phone, it will be harder for it to figure out where you are. For example, it might mistake a fast bike ride for a fast walk. Thanks to the app, it’s easy to change the name of any misidentified activity later.

Where to get Fitbit Inspire 2?
The Inspire 2 is slightly bigger than the Inspire HR so that it can hold a bigger battery, but it has the same simple design as its predecessor. The tracker is 1.47 inches long, 0.66 inches wide, and 0.50 inches tall (LWH). It has a small grayscale OLED touch screen with thick black bezels on all sides. It’s light and easy to wear, and it’s thin enough to wear with other bracelets.
The tracker’s battery can last up to 10 days on a single charge, which is twice as long as its predecessor. After more than five days of testing, 60% of the battery was still left on my Inspire 2. On the other hand, the Charge 4 can last up to seven days or five hours when using GPS. The lithium-polymer battery on the Inspire 2 can be fully charged in about two hours.
The Fitbit Inspire 2 mostly works as a basic pedometer, keeping track of your steps so you can get fitter or stay fit. You can wear it in a number of ways. If you wear it on your wrist, it will also measure your heart rate. This lets it know when you’re very active, which helps it estimate how many calories you’re burning that much better.
This is a must for the Active Zone Minutes feature on Fitbit. With the Fitbit Charge 4, this takes step counting to a whole new level. It doesn’t just count how many steps you take, but also how well you move, giving you more points based on how hard you’re working as measured by your heart rate. Take a ten-minute walk to the store in the zone where your heart rate burns fat, and you’ll get ten points toward your weekly goal of 150 minutes. You’ll get 20 points if you really push yourself and power walk or run your way into the cardio or peak zones.
The Fitbit Inspire 2 is a fitness tracker that tries to do everything, which can be frustrating when it doesn’t succeed. Since it’s too small and hard to use, I wouldn’t recommend it to runners, cyclists, or swimmers who want to track their data on the go. Also, if you want a smartwatch experience, you’re better off with a dedicated smartwatch. The Inspire 2 does have notifications, but they’re so hard to read that you’re better off just pulling out your phone to see what’s going on.
