This is the first Fitbit I have used. It has some new features kzread.infoUgkxbkrje8Y7BaqRkAjimw-55ajvVo7RbcIp and I like the information that it gives me.I think the phone app could be designed to be a bit more accommodating, as it can be confusing to use. The rubber band is comfortable, and normally I do not like rubber bands for my watches, but this is comfortable.I am looking forward to seeing if this helps me stay accountable in my fitness endeavors!My only gripe is the box was very damaged when it arrived, however, the tracker is performing perfectly!

I feel like this is the only channel that does serious reviews. All other reviews are people unboxing the damn watch for 10 minutes.

other channels work like "paid reviews" imho, they "miss" obvious failures of the equipment they review, being scared to be cut of by the brand if they say something negative.

Man, in all seriousness, your channel is absolute gold!! Please keep doing what you do. This is some of the best tech review content on KZread period! You should have much, much more followers

This is the first comment I’ve ever left on KZread in 10 years. And you absolutely deserve it. Love what you’re doing. Keep it up!!

Hey Rob, I think it would be cool to have a video where you review which fitness trackers perform the best of all that you have analyzed in the three categories of step count, heart rate, and sleep. Love the videos!

Dear Rob, from the bottom of my heart I wish that your channel blows up and you become a 10mil+ youtuber for putting out this kind of high quality content. One suggestion to extend your reach: Do short videos on a regular basis (e.g. each quarter) to sum up the top3 sleep devices that you can recommend based on your thorough testing.

I just keep rewatching all of your videos because they are so densely packed with information (in a good way), searched way to long for such a channel!

i have been reading all the reviews I could find before purchasing a fitness tracker. this is by far the most helpful! thanks so much and keep it up!

This is so impressive! I haven't seen anyone put this much effort into a review. Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into creating this :)

Thank you so much, Rob! I waer a Fitbit Alta HR for several years and always have issues with my heart rate measuring (I use a Polar H10 to compare my HR while running). The measuring differs up to 25-30 higher while training which is a lot - nonetheless I am a huge Fitbit fan and your test gave me the last push to try out the Inspire 2. Used your affiliate link to support your channel. 🙏

This is pretty much the only scientific fitness tracker testing video I can find, and I'm truly impressed by the seriousness. Keep up the good work, your content deserves more attention.

I love this channel. Thanks for all your work Rob! If you get around to evaluation of smart body weight scales that would be cool but just a random thought. You're doing amazing work.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on these videos. We appreciate you!

I was looking forward to this video, great "present" you have given us on this Valentine

Keep going Rob😊 you are the best in your field, your job is crucial and concretely useful!!💪

Thank you for taking the time to make these tests, its really appreciated :)

Thanks so much for these videos, and all the time you put into them. They've really helped me decide what my first fitness tracker should be, and it's great to see the accuracy tested with such precision and enthusiasm. Plus, from your record collection, it's obvious you have great taste in music!

Great video! One suggestion: on the HR scatter plot, perhaps you could make the data points from the weight lifting activity a different color dot compare to the cardio activities. Or even make a separate scatter plot with just the cardio (cycling/running) activities. It seems like most of the mismatch is from weight lifting which it appears most optical wrist trackers don’t capture. Thanks!

This channel is definitely the one im looking for!!! After watching this video, i plan to buy this fitbit inspired 2:) this one is even better than charge 4 from your results. Thank you so much for your awesome videos!

I really appreciate all the work that goes into your videos 😀

Terrific video. You cemented my decision to get an Inspire 2. Hard data mixed with straightforward analysis and a smiling face. Keep up the great work!

Your reviews are pure gold! Appreciate your work!

What I appreciate is your no nonsense straight talk no music needed approach.

So glad I found your videos. Your information is something to be guided by. Thank you.

These videos are amazing! Finally somebody does this right an provides actually helpful info and measurements. On behalf of the faceless youtube crowd I want to say - Thank you for your hard work!

I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. As someone who has heart disease, it is important that my tracking be as accurate as possible. Thank you ever so much for giving us actual data instead of marketing hype. Keep up the good work. As an addendum, you have a great smile, so keep smiling.

Appreciate all the hard work you put in !

Absolutely love your videos. I consider this information very valuable to help me through the confusion regarding which purchase is appropriate for me.

I love the scientific approach that you take to reviewing these products. Right now I am deliberating between the Fitbit Inspire 2, the Fitbit Charge 4, or the Oura 2 Ring. I will be sure to use one of your affiliate links if/when I decide to buy.

This is such an amazing video with so much effort devoted, thank you so much.

Trank you very much for the high quality tests, just ordered the charge 4 based on your videos - much appreciated!

Hey, Rob. Thank you so much for the effort you are putting in these videos. I personally have a Huawei Watch GT and and I love to see it or it's succesor (GT2) reviewed by you, especially sleep accuracy vs the EEG. Keep up the good work because you are kind of unique on these types of reviews.

I love the combination of scientific study and review! Great work.

A true scientist. I love it. Thank you for the review. I most certainly appreciate your time, attention and methodology in this review.

Thanks much, Rob! Your reviews are the best! A correct way in testing out with data analysis as a concrete proof! Keep it up! You KO'd other reviewers for real 👊😎

Great job! You rarely find a tech channel that puts in the time to present relevant data, not just repeat what everybody already said, but wrapped in a new filming style, and stuffed with some cheesy jokes, just to fill the time. Keep on the good work!

Yeah, I agree. I think what you're seeing here on the HR data is going to be across the board for all wrist based optical heart rate monitors. The wrist is an odd spot to measure HR when doing something like weight lifting. Keep up the great work on these videos!!! 🙌

thank you for your work!!! your videos helped me choose the right fitness band for me!

Thank you for the comprehensive analysis. Keep it up!

Bought it about your amazing review and recommendation , thank you 🙏🏼

Pretty valuable video on this fitbit. Good job explaining the comparisons and reasonable analysis. Thank you, you give me faith that I , perhaps, did purchase a good product. Best regards !

The Inspire has basically the same functions as my Fitbit Alta HR (could be the same internal parts in a different casing for all we know!), which I tested against the full professional sensors used on me during a sleep study and found to be remarkably accurate compared to the results of that sleep study. Of course, my comparison was basically comparing the amount of time I spent in each phase, which was roughly the same, so it wasn't nearly as detailed an analysis as Rob used in this video, but they were impressive all the same.

i have never seen such type of accurate comparison in my life. Excellent Work and highly intelligent

I love your reviews!! Are you planning to analyze the upcoming Fitbit Lux?

Great video! Thank you for taking the time. Your videos are very informative and enjoyable :)

Great video. You covered the important points that informed me this device will serve me the way I am looking for and I don't need to get one that costs more.

Thank you this has been very helpful. I am torn between this & charge 4 and I will check that review now

Thanks for sharing your test results. It's good to know its benefits and limitations.

Thanks for this!! Your channel has helped a lot in deciding what to get! :)

You da man!! I have the previous version, a Fitbit Inspire HR, and hope it has similar performance as the Inspire 2. Many thanks.

Excellent video. I agree the Fitbit always over counts the steps. I've even had it automatically record an "outdoor bike" session when I was actually on my scooter.

Thank you for all the work and doing a great job sharing your findings!

Fantastic review as always! The lack of the oxygen reader, does it affect the data for trying to sleep better and working out smarter, or you still can improve the same as with the charger 4?

Thank you for a very informative video it helped greatly with my purchase.

Hello! Really enjoy all your videos! I purchased the Inspire 2 thanks to you!!! Just had a quick question in the fitbit dashboard settings for my device on desktop, I notice that my fitbit is toggled to have sleep sensitivity to normal, was wondering whether you had it on normal or did you select sensitive when performing the studies that you did for your of your inspire 2 video.

I appreciate your research and expertise.🤙🏾

Great video! So much information!

Thank you for this great scientific content ❤

I subscribed, keep up the cool videos. This was very informative, I’m waiting for mine to come in the mail!

Hi Rob, love your channel! Just wondering, do you set your Inspire 2 to "normal" or "sensitive" sleep tracking?

Awesome work! Thank you

Love it, my kind of review, thank you

Thanks for the serious review

Very very helpful....as i have the 'old' flex fitbit and i want to upgrade to be able to track my heartbeat when i do workout videos and did not want a big fitbit because i already wear a watch. I simply want to make sure my cardio workouts i'm getting my heartbeat high. I'll check your other videos out as well.

Wonderful, thanks for the video.

for sure Doc ill be buying this one...as per your recom....

Hey Rob! Love the content, you are the only guy I trust when it comes to these fitness trackers so I was wondering if you can help me make a choice? Fitbit charge 4 or Inspire 2 or Huawei Watch fit? Things that are most important to me are heart rate and step count since those two determine the calories tracker is showing. What are your thoughts? Hope you have the time to respond, thanks in advance
