EXCELLENT VIDEO INSTRUCTION! Nothing assumed, nothing skipped, in real time so you know exactly how long it takes to set up. I have never seen or used a better video! I followed her exactly and only had a couple screens in different order than she had, but not enough to throw me off. I highly recommend viewing this video, unless you want to watch 3 or 4 other videos that assume or outright skip important steps and only frustrate you. She made this exercise stress-free for me. Thank-you!
I’ll get mine tomorrow. As a sort of homework and just for the pre fun, I’m watching your video’s. Thanks 🙏, they are really very helpful !! 😘. And also fun to watch. I now know what to expect, after unboxing and setting my Fitbit. I subscribed to your channel.
Hope that they increased the buzzing as I sleep right through my alarm. lol Thank you for a very easy to follow tutorial on this new version for me. I have thee Charge 2 and it is great, still working and has never given me any trouble. I only got this one because I do plan on doing swim exercises once the pool opens again. I am hoping that I can pass down my Charge to my hubby because he gets excitable over the smallest things and his heart rate and blood pressure go through the roof! That relax timer works very well for me for stress decompression, hoping it will with him too, if he'll wear it that is.
I just got my Fitbit two days ago I REALLY REALLY like it and I'm getting different coloured straps and because its Fitbit it's so easy to find straps for this exact watch and nice presentation really liked it!!! ps. You have a sub with notis on aswell 👍👍👍
I’m 67 and have inspire2 my hubby got me. However I’m sooo confused and NOT technically savvy. In beginning of your instruction you said if I have an iPhone it would be different than other phones!! I figured how to snap in n plug to charge and now duh!!! Not sure if I should follow you since I have iPhone?? Please help!!!
Thank you. It’s very detailed and informative. I’m waiting for my new Fitbit. Just wondering if the work out exercise comes with interval timer/counts. Thanks.
Smooth well-paced video, thank you. After using my Inspire 2 for 5 days now, I find the sleep feature is not consistently recording the first few hours that I'm asleep. On the tracker DND screen, should it be set with the 'moon' highlighted or dulled when sleeping? Also can you suggest anything else I might be doing wrong.
I found when it wasn't tracking sleep it was because the fitbit was set to "clip" mode instead of "wrist" mode. Check your quick setting and make sure it says "wrist mode"
Hi! Thanks for the very comprehensive video. This is actually the second time I've watched this. Just received my Inspire 2 and I was wondering why I was not prompted to update my firmware. Tried to update manually and I always get an "Update Failed" notification. Tried to sync my device again and same thing happens. Noticed a lot of missing features like I only have 6 workouts available, no DND setting, and I'm sure there are a lot more. What would you suggest? Thanks!
Sorry to hear your set up experience didn’t go as easily as it should have. It’s possible your phone isn’t fully compatible or there could be something wrong with the Fitbit. I’d suggest contacting Fitbit Customer Support.
@@wearablewhisperer I did join the community and a lot of concerns have been raised as well. Now waiting for the response. Hoping this us just software related and not hardware. :(
@@wearablewhisperer Just an update. I tried re-installing the app on my phone and doing the set-up process again and that did the trick! Also just to add, since my set-up, haven't charged my tracker for 11 days! Currently still at 32%. Amazing.
Does the watch have to be shut off and turned on each time used or if you're going to sleep for the night? Do I need to shut the inspire 2 off and turn on ?
I think maybe the progress bar didn't move on your device because you had it disconnected from the charging device. My progress bar was bright white and did move across the Fitbit.
can you put this in your pocket without using the clip or the wristband? I have taken the old Fitbit flex out of the band but now the battery is gone so I need a new one. I miss the Fitbit One the most...
Obviously you "can". It's not intended to be worn in a pocket without the clip, and Fitbit's fitness tracking algorithms aren't optimized for that use case. I won't be testing that use case myself, but you can buy from a place that has a good return policy (like REI) and test it out for yourself...
@@wearablewhisperer I was thinking to get Fitbit Inspire because it’s newer and cheaper than the outdated Charge 4. I think Charge 4 has built in GPS. Other than that , not much of a difference. So if we just consider the design, which one looks better?
I do not have a smart phone so have absolutely no idea how to set up my fit bit 2 there was no mention of this when I purchased the fitbit tracker.I have an ASUS laptop, and my mobile phone is JCB . So impossible to @follow along@ what can I do or shall I return it.
You’re welcome 😊 The Fitbit Sense is the only Fitbit that has high and low heart rate notifications like the Apple Watch. I’m not sure about other brands.
Please help!! Just got out of hospital and doctors suggested I get this but I am old my husband 71 and we are technology illiterate so I’m having a hard hard time and there’s no phone number to call to help walk me through this. Your video is very informative but you also said it’s not for an iPhone so I’m confused anybody that can help please please help. Thank you Mahalo
Your Fitbit will definitely work with an iPhone. I have just used an Android phone in this particular video. You can try to follow along with this video, or you can check out my other videos where I use an iPhone with a different Fitbit device but the steps might be more similar in the beginning. I’ll link two other videos that may also help.
It depends on what your needs and expectations are. If you need accurate real-time heart rate for high-intensity workouts, then I'd recommend an Apple Watch instead (Series 4, Series 5, Series 6, or SE). If you want the basics and best-in-class sleep tracking in a slim wristband, then it's probably worth it (you might prefer the Inspire HR for the physical button, if you don't mind the shorter battery life).
my inspire 2 keeps going into dark mode. I need it to show me the time and my heart rate and how long I've been biking or running? Can it do all three at once like the old heart rate monitors that you used to have wear on a strap?
Unfortunately, Inspire 2 doesn't have an always-on display, so it will go dark during a workout. It can't show all three of those stats at once. It shows elapsed time and you can choose between heart rate or the current time.
I don’t personally use WhatsApp, but these two Fitbit Community help forum threads will hopefully help you: community.fitbit.com/t5/Inspire-Inspire-HR/WhatsApp-notification-on-Inspire-HR/td-p/3396816 and community.fitbit.com/t5/Inspire-Inspire-HR/WhatsApp-notifications-stopped-showing/td-p/3798533

2022. Thank you for posting. Before this, I did not know how to set my new FB Inspire 2. Step by step instructions real helpful!
You’re welcome 😊
Very informative and clearly presented.
Thanks 😊

thank you idk one thing about this I am learning how to use it ...
You're welcome. I have a few more Inspire 2 "how to use" videos coming out soon, so stay tuned 😊
How do u put different bands on watch ? This is new to me. Thank u for ur time .
My video here should help you with that: ua-cam.com/video/xu9J74tqVfg/v-deo.html

Very good video, but would you show how to set up the sleep tracking please? Thank you.
You shouldn’t have to set up sleep tracking. It should track automatically.
I found when it wasn't tracking sleep it was because the fitbit was set to "clip" mode instead of "wrist" mode. Check your quick setting and make sure it says "wrist mode"
Just a heads up to anyone trying to do the firmware update your tracker MUST have a minimum charge of 40% or higher to start the updating process.
What is the link to the lesson for setting up the dashboard for the Fitbit inspire 2 that you mentioned in the second video? Thanks!
How do I set my 16” stride? Is that important? Or can I just track miles walked??? HELP!
Many thanks 😊

Thanks for the review and setup
You're welcome 😊
my fibit inspire does not show the fitbit logo on it, I am having a real hard time gettin it to sync either on my phone or the webpage
Can Fitbit detect sleep apnea?
Mine doesn't show the settings on the fitbit itself & my notifications are not working even if they are ON
Does the watch have to be shut off and turned on each time used or if you're going to sleep for the night? Do I need to shut the inspire 2 off and turn on ?
You actually cannot turn off Inspire 2 (something I think should most definitely be an option).
Does this device actually measure HRV? Thanks!
Yes
I think maybe the progress bar didn't move on your device because you had it disconnected from the charging device. My progress bar was bright white and did move across the Fitbit.
Yo tengo el mismo problema,no carga con nada,ya no se qué puedo hacer,puede que la tire a la basura.
Well done, thank you.
You're welcome 😊
How good is the vibration compared to Charge 2 or Flex
Thought the watch was a pregnancy test at first in the thumbnail and was royally confused for a second there
😂
Can you tell me how to make the screen on my fitbit inspire2 brighter Jeff

Should I get Fitbit Inspire or FitBit Charge 4?
That is hard to answer without more information about what you would want to use it for...
@@wearablewhisperer I was thinking to get Fitbit Inspire because it’s newer and cheaper than the outdated Charge 4. I think Charge 4 has built in GPS. Other than that , not much of a difference.
So if we just consider the design, which one looks better?
can inspire 2 be set up without weight on phone. Can I remove it now?
Do you need the premium to track your sleep cycle?
No
Check quick settings to see it is set for "wrist" and not "clip". It won't work when set on "clip"
I do not have a smart phone so have absolutely no idea how to set up my fit bit 2 there was no mention of this when I purchased the fitbit tracker.I have an ASUS laptop, and my mobile phone is JCB . So impossible to @follow along@ what can I do or shall I return it.
Unfortunately, you need a smart phone to set up the Fitbit Inspire 2.
@@wearablewhisperer Pity I wasn't told that before I purchased it.
@@wearablewhisperer I set mine up to my tablet.
How i Except the friend request?
Does this have the emergency notification like Apple watch. If your heart rate goes down
No
@@wearablewhisperer thank you 🙏 for the quick response. Appreciate it. You got any idea which other fitness band does it
You’re welcome 😊

It will not let me put my E-mail or take my password

My exercise app disappeared from my dashboard. How do I get it back?
Do you see an “edit” button anywhere on your dashboard? If so, tap that and scroll down to find exercise and then tap “add”.
Edit only makes the remaining apps able to be deleted
No options appear
Can you a few more videos? I cannot seem to get my brand new Inspire to track my heart rate. Please help ;-)
Go to 23:56 on her video and make sure your Fitbit is on wrist not on clip
Im stuck on the question if your fitbit is on. have tried to restart mantimes but wont connect Im using s9.
Do you mean your Inspire 2 display is black?
why do you called it hr when it is the insphire 2
Is it water proof
No wearable is 100% “waterproof”, but, yes, it has the standard water resistance rating of 50M, so you can wear it swimming, for example.
Mine does not say I agree when your at the private policy thing
Have you tried scrolling down to reveal the entire text?
How do you do that? Sorry it’s my first time
Wait yeah I’ve tried that
I should show it in my video. I haven’t encountered that problem so you will either need to Google it or contact Fitbit customer support.
@@wearablewhisperer ok thank you
