From CNET: There used to be a ton of Fitbit trackers to choose from. But now the list is smaller: Fitbit's streamlined its lineup and added a handful of new trackers that are aiming to be more affordable.
The Fitbit Versa Lite Edition is a more budget-targeted $160 version of the company's 2018 Fitbit Versa watch. Meanwhile the new Inspire and Inspire HR replace the company's Alta, Flex and Zip lines. They cost less too, priced at $70 and $100, instead of $100 and $130.
The Fitbit Inspire looks to be the company's new entry-level tracker. It has a touchscreen, it's got a slim design, and it has optional always-on heart-rate monitoring on the step-up Inspire HR model. It's also water resistant for swimming, and can track swim workouts like the Fitbit Versa, Ionic and Charge 3. It lacks the Charge 3's app-like extras (stopwatch and timer, weather, and specific on-wrist workouts), but it does get phone notifications for messages.
The Inspire HR has always-on heart-rate monitoring and about a five day battery, but doesn't have the extra SpO2 sensor that the Charge 3, Versa and Ionic do, which could lead to more accurate heart and sleep tracking (and maybe apnea detection) down the road. But it's also $50 less than the Charge 3, has a slimmer design, and now seems like a better bet for most people.
