GPS

None of the two devices, either the Fitbit Inspire 3, or the Garmin vivofit jr. 3 have integrated GPS. the Fitbit Inspire 3 offers you the possibility to use Connected GPS.

A drawback to this is the accuracy of your location since your phone's signal can be lost at times.

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.

That's why the Fitbit Inspire 3 wins this part of the comparison without a doubt. the vivofit jr. 3 can't monitor your heart rate. That makes the whole product not really fit for everyday usage.
