20:38 Conclusions & Recommendations
Intro: I’ve tested quite a few new Fitbits over the last weeks, and this little Fitbit, the Fitbit Inspire 3, might actually be my favorite out of all of them. If one of my friends wanted to buy a Fitbit, this is the one I would most likely recommend. In this video, I’ll systematically and unbiasedly test the heart rate tracking accuracy, sleep tracking performance and step counting accuracy of the Fitbit Inspire 3. By the way, even though I would recommend the Inspire 3 out of the Fitbits I recently tested; whether you should buy any Fitbit at all is another question altogether, which I’ll also address in this video.
I did want to make 3 short remarks about the Inspire 3: first of all, the biggest change compared to the Inspire 2 is the new screen; the Fitbit Inspire 3 now has a color screen and also a slightly different design. Overall, it looks less bulky to me, and I honestly like the overall look much better. Second, the Inspire 3 is still the entry level Fitbit, setting you back 100 dollars, making it the most affordable Fitbit from this latest generation. Finally, you should be aware that the Inspire 3 does not have built-in GPS, so you still need to take your phone with you to track your workouts. Now, that’s enough background, let's get to the test results. - Наука та технологія

Can you test the Verity sense??
Can you test the new updated algorithm of Oura ring 3?
Hi, Qualified Scientist, what do you recommend as best watch /band per value for money. Not needing luxury or status concerned product. would be highly obliged
The only one who compares the watches seriously
I agree. This guy gives proper fit tracking reviews. 😮💪🏻
Thanks so much Felix!!
Which one have the best battery life?
Good freaking job man ! As a data scientist I always struggle with reviews that are not backed up by data and are too subjective. This just hits the spot for me !
THANK YOU! Your content is great, and this video is exactly what I was searching for. The comparison chart of all the tested products is more helpful than I know how to say. Thanks again man.
Subsribed, never seen a reviewer as competent as you. Your work is appreciated.
This video is amazing! The amount of depth & research put into testing and production is the most useful review I've seen from so many 'wearable' videos bar none. I'm happy to discover this channel as an alternative to click-bait-y UA-camrs merely regurgitating the product specs. Bravo!
this is one of the most thorough analysis videos I've ever came across. great job man
Hi Rob, Thanks a lot for all these tests, videos, advice and comparaisons. It is a huge and great job that you make for your community and anyone who is looking for objective datas. I post here in the last video I found for ask if you have plan to test the last creation of withings (the body scan). Yes it is not a watch but, like you did the sleep analyzer I thought that could be in your plan ;^p.
Thank you for the great review! Ordered one last week and I am wearing it now 😊
This was an amazing video! I really appreciate the data-driven approach you take comparing both to the industry gold-standard and across the industry as a whole.
I wish you also compared Sp02 as well! Maybe next time =)
Another excellent review keep up the great work mate 👍
Thanks you sooooooooo much, i have been waiting for this video for 3 months. U r awesome 👌
Absolutely love your videos! Right up there with DC rainmaker which is high praise
Best and only fitness tracker channel worth watching... in my humble opinion
Thanks a lot!!😊
Best Review, data backed, graphs, comparison, correlation! As a Data Science Research person couldn't have asked for more!
Hi !
Congratulations for your awesome work!!
What about SPO2 measure of this watch? Do you recommend for this measure?
Bought it in October and had to return due to screen touch error (it kept manipulating on the screen itself). However, I highly appreciate its ability to track sleep - super accurate every time I wake up in the middle of the night or wake up in the morning.
Thank you for doing these informative videos!
Are you planning on doing a review of the new polar ignite 3 watch?
Yess was waiting for this review :)
Happy to help!😊
To produce the best of any product is an amazing feat. Your videos are the best in this area.
Thank you for this great review.
Happy to help!😊
Thank you! Was looking forward to your review and it's almost what I expected it to be. I only wish I could use an apple watch on android, or find a similar alternative. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the reviews
You are more than welcome Felipe!!😊
Thanks man! You saved a lot of my time❤
Other videos where good at guiding me here but this was ultimately the best review & analysis I have seen for sleep tracking devices.
Ordered this model! Thank you for your videos--love them. Quick question.. what glasses are those. I've been looking for frames like this.
Great video definitely subbing
Thank you for the information about the Fitbit Inspire 3. After watching this video, I clicked to order immediately.
WOW! Not some generic azz review and you actually tested things
you earned a follow and a like my friend❤
Is there a step tracker you recommend?
Great information! An interesting thing I found for when Inspire 3 counts steps when it shouldn't---when ringing handbells! Obviously, not something that the majority of people do, but when I am rehearsing handbell ringing, it definitely counts that as steps. Originally discovered this by accident when the "you've reached your step goal" notification went off close to the end of a rehearsal (we stand at a table when ringing, so no walking around). But it does not count steps when pushing a cart around the grocery store, so I figure it sort of evens out!
Instantly subscribed. Kind of content I would pay for.
My Inspire 3 will be ariving today. Not really happy with how bpm tests came out.
Can you please tell me if I do not carry along my mobile while swimming , will it still track distance and other parameters ?
Polar ignite 3 seems pretty interesing at least for me. Do you have any plans to test it out? Would be interesting how it performs versus Garmin or more traditional watch like pixel.
I really like your videos ! Can you please review the GTS4 / GTS4 mini please !
Thank you so much for your effort in reviewing a bunch of smartwatches.
Can you review amazfit gts 4/4 mini? Haven't seen a serious review for these devices. Wanna know if they improve their sleep tracking.
Thanks.
Hello, Thanks for this great review. Did you will do the review of the new Polar Ignite 3 ? i want to by this watch but i wait to see a test of you in the future ? Thanks.
All hail Rob! Just bought my Fitbit Inspire 3 today!
Same bro. Display is quite awesome
I've had one of these for about 2 months now, and I absolutely agree with this review. I love the slim, inconspicuous design, and the functionality is all that I wanted, and more. The low price isn't a bad thing, either.
Dankjewel Rob
I wish I could discover your channel before my purchase, I would definitely go for this Fitbit device. Next time hopefully 😅
Which did ur purchase?
Can't wait for the GTR4 review
Hi Rob.
I had a question regarding the new Inspire 3 and the Charge 5.
I'm looking for a fitness tracker with a focus on good to decent sleep tracking capability.
Do you think the new Inspire 3 is in any way better or more accurate than the older Charge 5 when tracking sleep?
My reasoning is that since the Inspire 3 is newer maybe Fitibit have had more time to work on the sensor and it's a bit "better" than the Charge 5.
omg my watch finally thanks!
Thanks Crasy Fingers!!
You deserve more views!
Great review, tho I don't see the fitbit luxe in the sleep tracking chart, is it better or worse than the inspire at that?
Great video
I am just interested in a good sleep tracker... Oura and Whoop is to expensive... Then i thought lets go for a one time purchase Fenix 7 or Venu 2 Plus since they have multiple other sports-features i would like to have. However with a fenix I can't sleep anyway.
May based on those accuracy tests i just buy the fitbit inspire 3 for sleep tracking. Good idea with bang for the bucket?
Hi!! Your channel is very interesting!! Can you test the "Muse S" device for the sleep tracking?
Dude deserves all the thumbs ups
thanks for every thing u test
your video is ver scientific and summarized
Thank you!
Thanks Rob. Please do the new Amazfit series (GTR4/GTS4)
Thanks for your efforts!
I'll wait for your gtr4 review and then I'll make my decision on my next smartwatch (current one just died from salt water xD )
Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! Hi! I collected a lot of data with the GTR4 and GTS4 already, just need to find the time for a video on it😊. Also keep an eye on my shorts channel ;-)
Hi @quantified scientist, i have ordered the honor band 6 as i got it for just 27$ and I hope it is a good watch at health tracking. What is your opinion?
I bought my Huawei watch fit 1 after watching your video last year 😊😊. Thank you Rob.
How is your experience with it so far?
Please do a Review of Polar Ignite 3! Would love to get the accuracy of it, especially on heart rate!
Great video, thank you. Also i really appreciate that you spend time to answer questions in the comments. That's really something. I have a question :) -
I need a watch, mainly to be able give me a good measure for my Vo2 ma and hearth rate. I am planing to buy and use the chest POLAR H10, so i will have even better hearth rate data and HRV information. I just want an overall good watch with accurate Vo2 Max. So now i am currently looking for Garmin forerunner 55( now on sale in my country), forerunner 245( even tho i think is not an good option), and maybe something else in this budget range.( I am considering venu 2, but it is a lot of money). I woul really appreciate if you answer me and give me some help. :)
It's absolutely okay if there is Huawei, or other good watch which will do the work. :)
best review i have ever seen on youtube
Amazing video as always. I just bought my Inspire 3 a week ago and I am super happy with its performance. I can’t put it in numbers like the video, but I believe that the heart rate monitor is accurate enough for spinning and doing some exercise at home. I do believe that i counts more steps, but overall I’m happy with the performance. The app shows a lot of information (even without the premium subscription) and I find it very helpful as a health tracker over all
Happy to help!😊
I have it and it definitely counts extra step. I can swing my arm back and forth and it will count this as steps.
May I ask which version of Android you are using?
(My favorite device runs 8.1, so the app can be installed but not updated. So I wonder about compatibility...)
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Which one would you recommend for sleep ? inspire or charge ?
Hello! I am debating between inspire 3 and a pulse oximeter...are pulse oximeters more accurate/better technology?
Thanks!
You bet Alex, thanks a lot :-) !
I watched your huawei gt 2 pro video. You promised you will do some further test. Please do
Hello, i wonder if it's worth it between this and the Xiaomi Band 7 for sleep.
you know if huawei or samsung have more watches coming out soon? i'm debating if i should wait for some new ones to come out or just get a huawei gt3 pro. and when some newer watches are a TINY bit worse than the previous one, like galaxy 4 and 5, is that a lab error or is the galaxy 4 actually more accurate than the 5?
I know you wanna test the accuracy of the watches rather than read the datasheets but mentioning some important features would be cool. Like some tracker don't offer a smart alarm: to me that renders the sleep analysis a *lot* less useful. You could even test it: check whether or not it wakes you up when the EEG finds you are in light sleep
I’m looking for a thinner band type fitness watch that is good at both sleep tracking and heart rate. Does this exist? Every review I watch of yours it is either good at HR tracking or sleep but not both.
Is the sleep tracking on the 3 an improvement over the 2? That's all I want to use a Fitbit for and if I get the same performance from the 2 I'd rather get it and save a bit of money.
I finally gave in and bought a Versa 4. It's not perfect, but since I won't go Apple, there's not much choice. We'll see how it goes. Thank you for the informative videos!
Throwing your money away
Try a Whoop strap! that's what I'm planning to get since it has 12 months free when you first purchase it and rob regards it to be pretty accurate overall for everything. Although if I did get a Fitbit the inspire 3 would be the one. Especially after having the inspire 2 it was great.
@@PietriGuitars Yes, like I said the first 12 months are free and after that I can just pay the annual fee to see the data all year long. Rob recommends it for overall health tracking because it gives accurate and reliable data on top of giving great suggestions for improving your health which is intuitive, more so than many health and fitness trackers. Doesn't matter to me as long as the data is accurate my health matters more. If it helps me stay healthier in the long run personally I'm fine with it. It's one of the best recommendations for people that don't have Apple devices or want them and Apple only works with Apple so yeah. At the very least you won't be throwing away that same amount of money on a cheap fitness tracker there are only a few reliable ones out there and they're either really good at one thing and very poor/ mediocre in another. Highly likely they're bad in both the cheaper you get.
Momenteel gebruik ik de Fitbit inspire 3 voor een onderzoek binnen een ziekenhuis om de REM-slaap te detecteren. Je laat in dit filmpje enkele nachtelijke metingen zien. Echter ben ik ook benieuwd naar de overige nachten. Want meet de fitbit over het algemeen alle REM-slapen, maar niet de hele lengte of slaat de fitbit ook vaak een REM-slaap over die wel wordt gemeten met het EEG? Zijn dit dan voornamelijk REM-slapen van korte duur of ook wel eens van langere duur? Zouden de afbeeldingen van de andere nachten gedeeld kunnen worden?
Sir (as a show of my respect) - is there a chance to see your charts where you compare all the devices together per category: HRV, et?
Would be good for user then to pick proper model with right price/value ratio.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
thanks!!!
Hello Rob, how are you? Just for sleep tracking (and maybe step counting), what you would chose between Inspire 3 and Charge 5? The price difference isn't problematic, just want the more accurate between both parameters. For HR tracking I will be using H10, so the Fitbit device will only be for those 2 things.
Go for Fitbit Inspire 3, see 17:05 for reference.
What would be the best EKG, Afib, detection watch, that is not an apple?
Sir can u pls advice which fitness device is most durable n long lasting ....I heard fitbit last less 2 years in most cases
What a freaking great job you have done, always, with so smart watches. Man you should get $xM for the time and effort you put into serving humanity.
Could you review amazfit Gtr 4, we wonder if it has any improvement against old ones
This one or Withings Sleep Analyzer? Which should I get if I'm only interested in sleep tracking?
Your videos are informative, could you make a video on amazfit trex 2
it appears that the luxe is a bit better for heart monitoring but maybe not that much ?i like the inspire 3 but i think the luxe is a little better i would like to compare the 2.. thanks
Is inspire 3 is worth the upgrade from inspire 2?
Hi, i watched your review on the Mi Band 7 and Inspire 3, your step counting you rated a 4.5/5 on the Mi Band 7 but not rating on this one could you tell me which is the most accurate in terms of steps? thanks
Still worth to buy inspire TWO now if it’s just half of the price? I’m thinking to buy inspire 2 for my 8-10 years old kids. Thanks.
I’m always curious about if you flip the chart. Instead of how much the eeg deep sleep was detected by the Fitbit, whoop, etc. how much of the deep sleep detected by the Fitbit is considered deep by the eeg. I’m not the phd candidate here, so I’m just wondering. It seemed like it might be at least equally useful but maybe more interesting.
Current chart: how much of this phase does the device correctly detect? it detected 75% of the deep sleep
Chart flipped: how poorly does the device detect this phase? 50% of the detected deep sleep was wrong
Again I might be wrong, would be interesting to know why you set the chart the way you do because I’m not sure if it’s more useful to know that it does recognize when you’re in deep sleep with a small percentage of false negatives or if it’s more useful to know that it does detect deep sleep with a lot of false positives. Something about it, I lean towards looking at my watch data and asking how much of the deep sleep is actually deep sleep rather than did it catch all of the deep sleep? Of course this wouldn’t be the complete picture either.
If you made it through my incoherent rambling this far, I would like to see both charts. Including the scatterplot. I think it would be interesting.
Hi! That makes complete sense, and I will consider it :-)! Might be interesting to show these two average values on both axis of my plots. Showing both in a video on detail might be a bit too much for people ;-) 😊
@@TheQuantifiedScientist I agree with you that both might be a bit much. I'm not entirely sure which one is more useful or if it is best to display them on one chart. I think your scatterplot makes sense. I'm not sure how you would show the two averages on the plot, that chart might be a bit confusing. I'm trying to understand myself what it might mean. Might be better to keep things the way they are. 😂
right now it is the average of the percent of "true" positives vs the lowest percent of "true" positive for the 4 stages. Did I say that correctly?
The alternative you suggested would be the average of the the percent of true positives vs the average percent of false positives?
so if 70% of deep sleep is labeled deep sleep, 80% of light sleep, 60% of REM, and 70% of wakefulness. one axis would have 70%
But if 50% of what the watch called deep sleep was wrong, 10% of the watch's light sleep was wrong, etc. then you would take the average of those and put them on the other axis?
I don't know if I have this correct, but it might be too confusing to do it this way without showing the data that led to it. Might be better just to keep doing things the way you're doing them? I'm really working hard to not cross the line into telling you how to do your job because I really don't know, I'm just being curious. Please don't make any changes unless you believe in them.
maybe a link to a second chart in the video details for myself and the 4 people who upvoted my comment 😂
Is there any way to display Fitbits nightime oxygen data ? All they show is " estimated variation" in the app. But I know the watches collecting the actual data
hey the quantified scientist can you make a series of videos doing a comparison of different CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) devices accuracy and precision against Accu-Chek® Aviva glucose meter for diabetes patients
I see you have two Polar heart rate thingy. Have you worn both at the same time and confirmed they match?
Oi, can you recommend a tracker for football that won't break the bank? Is Fitbit Charge 5 accurate? Only these 3 points matter to me:
1. Total distance
2. Top and average speed (i guess gps is a must here for accuracy, but how accurate are they even with gps? wouldn't like to be a fake Usain Bolt you know)
3. HR/VO2max would be good as well
I'm wearing the pixel watch, which uses fitbit analytics for sleep etc... and my experience suggests the sleep tracking is way way off. As I work nights and it literally says I'm sleeping whilst at the desk. You'd think typing away would make a difference to its analytics, but it really doesn't. I have Asian colour skin so don't know if its data is so bad because of that or its that I am working whilst everyone else is asleep.
Will you please do a scientific review of the Amazfit GTR 4? it has a whole new host of sensors
Awesome video! Why wasn't the Sp02 tested like the huawei band 7 video?
Would you recommend this over the Mi Band 7?
I cant decide with all these reviews scientific genius my budget is 150$ and i need one for weightlifting , calorie tracker , step tracker and sleep tracking what do you recommend? Thanjs
Fitbit is great for sleep tracking it is small and comfortable for me than Apple Watch in bed. But this is just my opinion. Apple Watch are overall the best . But I am considering Huawei GT3 pro for day and this Fitbit just for sleep tracking. Thanks for reviews u are doing very good job. Nobody does this deep research about smartwatches/bands.
I think calculating mean squared error for heart rate measurements relative to the polar would be a good metric to show. It can address some of the deficiencies with correlation like you mentioned in this video. I don't think it'd be that hard to retroactively calculate either, assuming you still have the data from previous reviews.
Can you also compare CGMs and their app readings?
Does it have the smart alarm like in the Sleep Cycle App in Apple Watch?
Waiting for Samsung Fit3 accuracy test bro.... please do it.
How does it do without fitbit premium? Ive heard many things on both sides. Some people say its totally usable and you barely lose anything, and aome people say it's useless without premium
Hi Rob! Big fan of ur contents. If u dont mind could you do me a favor? I want you to review on Realme Watch S, because my dad is using it who is a really sick heart patient, he is getting demotivated to see his Heart rate go over 120-130 when he is idle. I told him that the watch cant be so accurate and sometimes it may give the false results too. I want you to make a video review about it so i can prove him how accurate is the watch is. Thanks Rob.
I just got this model. I updated the clock face and want the original back. If you know how to get it, please let me know. I even did a factory reset, and I still don't have the original.
You will have to excuse me but you may had skipped over the part that you said in the beginning of "why you may not want to buy one at all" unless that was part of the conclusion of it is just mediocre in GPS and HR?
