Fitbit Inspire 3 : Do You Need A Premium Subscription
Many people have been asking whether or not you need to pay for a premium subscription for the new Fitbit Inspire 3. Fortunately, the answer is no. Fitbit offers users the option to buy a premium subscription for additional features, but those features can be tested out for free for the first 6 months of use with the watch.
The Fitbit Inspire 3 is an excellent fitness tracker with a range of great premium features. In my opinion, these features will appeal to a certain type of person. I am a current subscriber of Fitbit premium, and I have found that the value I have gotten from it has been fantastic. In this article I will quickly explain
- Is The Fitbit Inspire 3 Still Useful Without Premium Features
- Glucose Tracking now available to Use
- The Type Of People that Would Benefit from The Premium Features.
Is The Fitbit Inspire 3 Still Useful Without Premium Features
While the Fitbit Inspire 3 does come with a free 6 month premium subscription that may be attractive to a certain type of user, it is still a great fitness tracker for anyone who just wants the basics. The Fitbit Inspire 3 tracks steps, monitors your sleep, provides reminders to move, and offers basic tracking of activities like running and biking.
It also provides an easy way to set goals and track your progress over time. As such, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is a great choice for those who are just getting started with fitness tracking, as well as more experienced users looking for something simple and easy-to-use.
If you are after a basic fitness tracker, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is still a great option. The Fitbit App is also vey user friendly and it has very basic tools to help you set goals and track. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is a very affordable option for those who are just getting started. I have been using the Fitbit Inspire 3 for at least a month and I find it more useful than the Fitbit Charge 5 which I have also been using for about 6 months. I will be doing a full comparison between the Fitbit Inspire 3 and the Fitbit Charge 5 in the coming weeks, but I definitely choose the Inspire 3 over the Charge 5.
Glucose Tracking Now Available to Use
When I synced my Fitbit Inspire 3 to the Fitbit App, I immediately noticed that the app now included a new feature called Glucose tracking. This feature is not available on the Fitbit Charge 5, as I checked my fitness dashboard on the Fitbit App to confirm this.
Even though I don’t have diabetes, I feel like this could still be helpful, as you can track all of your health metrics in one place. The advantages of tracking all your health data on one app are numerous, but the biggest benefit is that all your tracking will be done in one convenient spot.
The Type Of People that Would Benefit from The Premium Features.
Being a premium subscriber, I’m confident that I’m getting a good return on investment. As a smartwatch blogger, I also have a responsibility to provide an honest assessment of the device for those who are considering purchasing it. So here is my picks on a certain person who would find value with the Premium Features.
In my experience of testing several smartwatches and fitness trackers over the past few years, each brand has offered its own unique features. Polar, in particular, specializes in fitness tracking for professional athletes, while Garmin watches strive to improve sports performance.
When it comes to Fitbit, their focus seems to be on Health and being active. You only have to look at the Fitbit app to see that its metrics are very basic and easy to read, without all the technical scientific jargon. In my opinion here are the types of people that would find value with the Fitbit Premium Features.
Sleep Heath is a Priority
One of the main reasons why I decided to go premium was because sleep health is a priority to me. Fitbit is one of the 4 most reliable brands when it comes to tracking sleep health, the other 3 is Apple Watch, Withings and Whoop. As a low cost fitness tracker, the Fitbit Inspire 3 can provide great indepth sleep data, and in my mind that is great value for money when you can get valuble information about your sleep patterns.
Although the Fitbit Inspire 3 does not offer any suggestions to improve your sleep health but you can show your sleep tracking records to your doctor to see if there is a problem. Please note that the Fitbit Inspire 3 is not a medical device, so you should always be careful when you show your sleep data.
Learning To Prepare Healthy Meals For Yourself As a Priority
This premium feature can benefit a wide range of people, but in my experience I think it’s better suited to anyone with any special dietry conditions, and to anyone who is transitioning into a more healthy lifestyle.
The recipe inspiration feature of the Fitbit app is fantastic, and it also helps to keep you motivated. The video cooking tutorials only go for 1 minute or so it’s completely simplified to a level that even a non-cook can follow. You can prepare meals in under 5 minutes (my favourite) or under 15 minutes the choice is yours.
As for special dietary conditions, there are meal ideas available to you. There’s heart healthy recopies, gluten free recopies, diabetes friendly and the list goes on. Fee free to check them out, when you do get a free 6 month subscription.
Learn To Adapt To A Healthy Lifestyle With Daily Readiness Score
Becoming healthier is all about making changes to your lifestyle. That involves getting more active, eating healthier foods, and getting enough sleep. It’s easier said than done, especially when you’re just beginning. However, the daily readiness score can be a big help. It measures your progress and gives you feedback to encourage you to continue. With this tool, you can learn more about your health and make the changes that will lead to better health.
I use the DRS a lot, and my goal is to get at least 100-120 activity minutes per day. When I wake up in the morning I check my DRS score to see how my body is feeling. If it’s a high number, my body is ready to do an intense exercise session. If it’s at a medium level, I only do a short intense workout, with a mix of low intensity. If it’s low, then I do a slow paced walk or some light activity.
And that’s it really, with out the confusing science, the Fitbit device provides a easy to understand score that can guide you in the right direction, in terms of exercise.
Final Conclusion
So the Fitbit Inspire 3 is still a good option for someone who wants a basic fitness tracker with heart rate monitoring, track steps and workouts. In terms of price it’s fantastic and for the features it provides it’s not a bad option, especially if you’re not going to use the Fitbit premium service.
In terms of Fitbit premium, I think that only certain people will find this service of value. Hopefully it explains everything that you need to know.
