Get started – Fitbit
Meet Fitbit Inspire 3—the tracker that helps you find your energy, do what you love, and feel your best. All you have to do is wear it. Please take a moment to review our complete safety information at fitbit.com/safety. Inspire 3 is not intended to provide medical or scientific data.
What’s in the box
Your Inspire 3 box includes:
The detachable bands on Inspire 3 come in a variety of colors and materials, sold separately.
Charge your tracker
A fully-charged Inspire 3 has a battery life of up to 10 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary. Note: The Inspire 2 charger doesn’t work with the Inspire 3.
To charge Inspire 3:
- Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
- Align the pins on the other end of the charging cable with the gold contacts on the back of Inspire 3. Gently press Inspire 3 into the charger until it snaps into place.
To remove Inspire 3 from the charging cable:
- Hold Inspire 3 and slide your thumbnail between the charger and the back of the tracker on one of the corners.
- Gently press down on the charger until it separates from the tracker.
Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While Inspire 3 charges, double-tap the screen to turn it on and check the battery level. Swipe right on the battery screen to use Inspire 3. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon.
Set up Inspire 3
Set up Inspire 3 with the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. The Fitbit app is compatible with most popular phones. See fitbit.com/devices to check if your phone is compatible.

Wear Inspire 3
Choose to wear Inspire 3 around your wrist or in the clip accessory (sold separately). If you need to remove the band or attach a different band, see the instructions in “Change the band” on page 14.
Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
When you’re not exercising, wear Inspire 3 a finger’s width above your wrist bone. In general, it’s always important to give your wrist a break regularly by removing your tracker for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend removing your tracker while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing your tracker, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your tracker and may cause skin irritation.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
- During a workout, experiment with wearing your tracker a bit higher on your wrist for an improved fit. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting, cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which could interfere with the heart- rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.
- Wear your tracker on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device is in contact with your skin.
- Consider tightening your band before a workout and loosening it when you’re done. The band should be snug but not constricting (a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal).
Clip Placement
Wear Inspire 3 on or close to your body with the screen facing outward. Secure the clip tightly to a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband. Try out a few different locations to see what’s most comfortable and secure for you. If you experience skin irritation when wearing Inspire 3 on your bra or waistband, clip it to an external piece of clothing instead, such as your belt or pocket.
Wear and care tips
- Clean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser.
- If your tracker gets wet, remove and dry it completely after your activity.
- Take your tracker off from time to time.
Remove a band
- Turn over Inspire 3 and find the quick-release lever.
- While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the band away from the tracker to release it.
- Repeat on the other side.
Attach a band
- To attach a band, hold the band and slide the pin (the side opposite the quick-release lever) into the notch on the tracker.
- While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the other end of the band into place.
- When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.

Default heart-rate zones
Default heart-rate zones are calculated using your estimated maximum heart rate. Fitbit calculates your maximum heart rate with the common formula of 220 minus your age.
Troubleshooting
If Inspire 3 isn’t working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below.
Heart-rate signal missing
Inspire 3 continuously tracks your heart rate while you’re exercising and throughout the day. If the heart rate sensor on your tracker has difficulty detecting a signal, dashed lines appear.
If your tracker doesn’t detect a heart-rate signal, first make sure heart-rate tracking is turned on in the Settings app on your tracker and Inspire 3 is set to WORN on Wrist. Next, make sure you’re wearing your tracker correctly, either by moving it higher or lower on your wrist or by tightening or loosening the band. Inspire 3 should be in contact with your skin. After holding your arm still and straight for a short time, you should see your heart rate again.
GPS signal missing
Environmental factors, including tall buildings, dense forests, steep hills, and thick cloud cover, can interfere with your phone’s ability to connect to GPS satellites. If your phone is searching for a GPS signal during an exercise, connecting appears at the top of the screen.
For best results, wait for your phone to find the signal before you start your workout.
Other issues
If you experience any of the following issues, restart your tracker:
- Won’t sync
- Won’t respond to taps, swipes, or button press
- Won’t track steps or other data
- Won’t show notifications

FAQs About Fitbit Inspire 3 Fitness Tracker
Fitbit Inspire 3 Does it monitor stress?
With its features, the Fitbit Inspire 3 aids with stress management. Although I’ve found its heart rate sensor to be less precise, it still analyzes your heart rate to identify stress signals. It also keeps track of your everyday activities to promote stress-relieving exercise.
What is the lifespan of a Fitbit Inspire 3?
up to ten days of battery life. Actual outcomes may differ depending on usage, settings, and other variables that affect battery life and charge cycles. For continuous tracking, we advise charging your tracker every few days.
Does the Fitbit Inspire 3 measure burnt calories?
With a 0.7-inch color touchscreen AMOLED display, step counting, sleep tracking, step count, and calories burned, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is a band-based fitness tracker.
Does the Fitbit Inspire 3 monitor sleep automatically?
When you wear your device to bed, Fitbit wrist-worn gadgets like the Google Pixel Watch series automatically track your sleep.
Does the Fitbit Inspire 3 allow you to control music?
Additionally, it works with Google Fast Pair, which facilitates speedy connections with Android phones. That’s all, though. Fitbit Pay does not offer onboard music storage, playing control, or contactless payments via your wrist.
Is there GPS on the Inspire 3?
Since the Inspire 3 does not have an integrated GPS, it must establish a connection with your phone to track your distance and pace when you walk, run, hike, or ride a bike outside. For me, this is not an issue because I typically work out outside with my phone on me, but if you would rather leave your phone at home, this could be a disadvantage.
Is the Fitbit Inspire 3 phone capable?
You should be able to enable call notifications from your compatible phone as long as you’ve set up your Inspire in the Fitbit app. However, all it indicates is that you have a call. Your phone initiates a call when you hit the answer button.
Can I submerge the Inspire 3 in water?
Fitbit claims that all of the Inspire series models are somewhat waterproof yet still water-resistant. Additionally, users shouldn’t have any issues using the tracker while taking a shower or swimming in a pool because the Fitbit Inspire 3 is water-resistant up to 50 meters or 164 feet.
Does Bluetooth come with the Fitbit Inspire 3?
Instead of having GPS built in, the Inspire 3 connects to your phone over Bluetooth and uses its GPS to monitor locations.
Is the Fitbit Inspire 3 compatible with phones only?
You can use a Fitbit without a phone, yes. Without a phone, many Fitbit models can measure activity data such as steps taken, calories burnt, and other metrics.
