However, you're still left with Fitbit's simple exercise tracking, and the Inspire 3 will do so automatically as it has auto detection for runs and walks. It's a light array of features, and it's probably more convenient to set alarms and timers on your phone anyway. There's obviously not much room on the screen for text, but we found notification handling here surprisingly okay as the display resolution is quite high, and scrolling through the message contents is fast and smooth. The band will also receive notifications from your phone. The latter takes you through guided breathing exercises using the Inspire 3's vibrate motor to show you when to breathe in and out. Swiping left and right takes you to the additional features - the exercise modes, alarm, timer and relaxation mode. You can check out your daily stats just by flicking up and down the touchscreen. It can seem a bit fiddly too, but you don't have to use it as often as you think. It initially feels like you have to squeeze the Inspire 3 to make this work, but you don't. When you put your finger and thumb to both of these, it acts like a 'back' button on your phone. This tracker uses a touchscreen, but there are little sensors on the sides, marked by little glossy areas. We have the orange strap version of the Inspire 3, and the default watch face matches the strap colour in its clock display. This keeps the watch face on all day, if dimmed, so you can see the time. It also has an 'always-on' mode, which makes the Inspire 3 a pretty neat little watch. It has enough brightness to function in direct sunlight and far more character than the relatively blocky monochrome screens of previous generations. However, it is actually the least passive of the Inspire watches so far, thanks to the Inspire 3's full colour OLED glass screen.

That 'set and forget' style is exactly what you want in a passive fitness tracker - one you buy mostly for everyday activity tracking. This is a sign of how light and comfortable the Inspire 3 is. One thing has happened with the Fitbit Inspire 3 more than any other big-name wearable we've used in the last 12 months: We've forgotten we're wearing it more times than we can count.
