Continuous heart rate monitoring - Fat burning, cardio, or peak performance? Track your heart rate zones in real-time to train at the right intensity for your goals. Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring - The SpO2 value indicates how well the body is supplied with oxygen. Low values may indicate health issues that you can quickly identify with Fitbit.

Mindfulness exercises - Too much stress? With various mindfulness exercises, you can learn to cope better with stress and stay calm. Guided breathing exercises - The Relax app is your mindfulness coach on your wrist, guiding you through calming breathing exercises when everything feels overwhelming. Activity zone minutes tracking - When you train in your target heart rate zones, you accumulate activity zone minutes. In the cardio and peak performance zones, you exert yourself more, so you earn double the minutes - that’s double the motivation. 20 workout modes + SmartTrack. The Inspire 3 offers 20 different workout modes and displays statistics like pace and calorie burn in real-time. SmartTrack even automatically records common workout types, so you can sweat it out without worrying about starting a workout. Up to 10 days of battery life - The battery lasts for more than a week, so the Inspire 3 won’t give up easily. Battery life depends on usage and other factors.
