The Fitbit Inspire 2 impressed us with how easy it was to use and how it didn’t get in the way. It also had a long battery life and could track your heart rate. It works well as a simple multi-sport tracker or as a way to gently encourage you to live a more active life. After a year, we didn’t like that we had to pay the cost of the device again for a subscription to use the app‘s premium features.
Its screen is also a little too small to use its sports-related features to their fullest. Still, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you want to track your exercise and keep general information about your health.

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 text on the screen is small but clear and easy to read, and the touch screen responds well to swipes and taps. Still, the grayscale display seems a little old-fashioned in 2021, especially when compared to the bright.
The Inspire 2 comes with a silicone band that is either black, white, or pink and has a plastic buckle. You get a small band and a large band in the box. The small band fits wrists that are 5.5 to 7.1 inches around and the large band fits wrists that are 7.1 to 8.7 inches around. If you don’t like the silicone band that comes with it, it’s easy to switch it out for another one (gently slide the metal pin on the back of the band to remove it from the tracker). Fitbit sells a variety of Inspire 2 accessory bands, such as leather and stainless steel, as well as a clip so you can wear it on your belt if you prefer.
The Fitbit Inspire 2 doesn’t have GPS tracking, but it can use your phone’s GPS connection. If you’re happy to carry your iPhone or Android device, you’ll still be able to see how much faster you’ve gotten when running or cycling. There is also no space on the Inspire 2 to store music, so you can’t load it up with a playlist or podcast.
