Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition vs Inspire 2 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's have a closer look by comparing the differences between the two Wearable Charge 3 Special Edition* and Inspire 2* made by Fitbit.
Release Date
There are 2 years time between the releases of both products. The Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition was released in 2018. Consequently, the Fitbit Inspire 2 from 2020 is newer.
Waterproof
Both Wearable can be used under water in depths of up to 50 m. The two devices can even track and record your swimming lanes.
Battery
The Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition has a battery lasting 7 days, which is comparatively less than the Fitbit Inspire 2 that lasts 10 days. Both devices take 2,0 hours to be fully charged.
GPS
None of the two devices, either the Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition, or the Fitbit Inspire 2 have integrated GPS. With both Wearable, you have the possibility to use Connected GPS. The devices will take the GPS data from your smartphone. The downside to this can be signal issues and having to carry your smartphone with you.
Heart Rate Monitor
A fitness watch without a heart rate monitor is basically useless and not advisable to buy. That's because your heart rate is one of the key elements of different calculations. For example, many devices without a heart rate monitor claim to count your calories burned too. That number will hardly be right without having access to your heart rate.
Comparing the Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition and the Fitbit Inspire 2, both devices offer the heart rate monitor function and score in our books. On top of that, both will monitor your heart rate 24/7. Some devices only do that when you press a button, which is practically speaking rather useless.
Measured values
Only the Charge 3 Special Edition can track how many floors you've covered.
Both Wearable offer you the possibility to record your sleep time. On top of that, they also allow you to do a sleep analysis.
With the Fitbit Inspire 2 the data is stored up to 7 days.
Bracelet
Being able to change your fitness watch band is a great advantage. You'll only have to worry about the color of the device itself, and not the color or material of its accompanying watch band. For pretty much every device, you can get cheap watch bands that will fit your device. You can make use of this advantage with both devices of this comparison.
Smarct functions
Getting call, text, or other notifications is a feature that both tools have. Often times, this feature is only possible with an Android device. iOS user can be left behind on this. Sending QuickReplies is not an option for either one of the two devices.
The interface, or the dial of your watch, can be changed with both, the Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition , and the Fitbit Inspire 2.
Contactless payment
Contactless payment is a highly useful and more in demand than ever technology. Many Wearable already offer it. Being able to do this from your wrist is even more convenient than using your smartphone or a credit card. There's a difference here between the two devices, as only the Fitbit Charge 3 Special Edition hooks you up with contactless payment technology. With the Charge 3 Special Edition, Fitbit Pay is being used.
