Review on Fitbit Inspire HR Heart Rate and Fitness Tracker, One Size (with S and L Bands), 1 Count by Yvette Gonzalez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Huge problem recording steps while driving

Extremely inaccurate :( He counted over two thousand steps in an hour and a half on the road (I was driving) and on the first day he counted ten steps while putting it up and me didn't even wear it. It was just sitting on the charger. I had some trouble propping it up on the charger because the cord is so short it's ridiculous and the magnet is weak. I think the unevenness of this process it there is a workaround to get rid of fake steps logged while driving but you have to do this every time after a ride and that's just a ridiculous problem for this product there are apps that can detect when a person is driving and hence Fitbit needs to apply this technology to its entire line of trackers. Previously, there was Drivebit, a third-party app that paired specifically with the Fitbit app en It would solve the long-standing problem of recording steps while driving, but doesn't seem to be available at the moment. Since people have been asking Fitbit to fix this for over five years with no solution, and the official Fitbit forum moderators have marked the issue as "solved" every time a user asked about it, I doubt it'll be in place any time soon will be fixed with an update . I have to ask myself whether I can live with that for the price of €100. I am very disappointed with this product, mainly because there is no way to prevent inaccurate steps by pausing. I'm only giving it three stars because the heart rate feature works well and the sleep tracker is pretty cool. I will be using it for a few more days to decide if I want to send it back or keep it. It's so hard for me to pay for something that doesn't fully serve its purpose. The worst thing is that it's such a nice little life changing device but unfortunately it's buggy and I don't know if I can trust the data.

Pros
