However, while the Fitbit Inspire 2 has an accelerometer, it does not have a built-in GPS. It can determine your location when connected to your phone, but turning off your Bluetooth leaves it prone to confusion, for example by mistaking cycling for a brisk walk. With the app, however, you can easily correct the misidentification later. In addition, six of the pre-registered sports can be shortcut to the device using the app, and Fitbit can log entire sessions as well as provide useful data such as reps and pace during activity. The Inspire 2 has many of the features associated with a regular sports watch, but it still has a small face, so you’ll spend a lot of time squinting to avoid bumping into things. However, you can summarize the data you acquire by checking the app when you get home. For example, if you went for a run, you can overlay your route, pace, and heart rate on a map and time chart to see how hard you worked at each point. The Inspire 2 comes with black, white, or pink silicone bands that fasten with a plastic buckle; small and large bands are included to fit wrists from 5.5 to 7.1 inches and 7.1 to 8.7 inches, respectively. If the included silicone band doesn’t fit, it can easily be replaced with another band (gently slide the metal pin on the back of the band off the tracker); Fitbit sells a variety of accessory bands for the Inspire 2, including stainless steel and leather. One of the main complaints about the Inspire HR was its charger. It was only loosely attached when connected, but this seems to have been corrected in the Inspire 2. The new charger looks almost identical, but has two small clasps that hook onto the device when connected. Once connected to the charger, it’s not going anywhere. Now if only Fitbit would adopt a single charging cable like Garmin, I would have nothing to say.
