The Fitbit Inspire 3 is Google's four-year-old, entry-level fitness tracker. Originally priced at $99, you can easily pick one up on sale for much less... but should you, especially when newer models like the Fitbit Edge exist?
Howdy, I'm Dan, and I lead our wearable tech coverage at Tom's Guide. Not only am I in the process of reviewing the new Fitbit Edge — which seems potentially destined for our best fitness tracker list — but I'm also a long-time owner of the Fitbit Inspire 3. This is to say, I know both wearables reasonably well.
So how do they stack up? Here's a breakdown of the Fitbit Edge vs. Fitbit Inspire 3 across six categories, including price, design, display, health and fitness, smart features, and battery life.
The Fitbit Edge is Google's latest fitness tracker, boasting a decently sized, bright AMOLED screen and onboard GPS in a small, comfy package. It also supports comprehensive daily sleep tracking reports, Google's latest breathing emergency safety feature, blood pressure and insulin resistance trends, and loss-of-pulse detection.
The Fitbit Charge Inspire 3 is Google's most entry-level fitness tracker, with a small but reasonably bright display, up to ten days of battery, support for common workout types, daily sleep reports, stress tracking, menstrual health tracking, and mirrored smartphone notifications.
Even at full price, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is a bargain compared to the Fitbit Edge. Of course, since it's also four years old, you're unlikely to pay anywhere near the $99 launch price.
