[HELP in Buying] Inspire 3 or Charge 6?

[srtk12]

Hi Fitbit community

I have only used very budget-friendly trackers so far but I wanted to upgrade to a better device. I am thinking of Inspire 3 or Charge 6 since these two match my preferences and budget. I am aware of their pros and cons and some differences but I have no idea about their durability and user experience. I saw videos and articles about these two but users (here and on Reddit) have raised issues about their life and reliability.
Garmins are expensive and smartwatches don't have batteries. So, I need your honest opinions. I don't want to waste the money that I have saved. I am aware of 1-year warranty (in India) but don't want a ruined experience. 

So, kindly share your thoughts and your experience and help me in taking a calculated risk. Or if you have any other tracker in your mind then do let me know. I am an Android user so no Apple watch. Or should I go with Huawei Band 7 (cheaper and minimal risk)

Hi, @srtk12 , the Charge 6 has only been out for a few months so it will not yet be possible to reflect on its longevity.  I have always found the Charge series very reliable - I have a Charge 4 that still works, although the screen is fading a bit, and my Charge 5, which I have owned since it first came out, is not having any issues - although some have been reported in the Community.

I have also found the Inspire series very reliable.  My mother has an original Inspire HR that she has had for 3 or 4 years (sorry, I cannot remember exactly) and she has had no trouble with it at all.  I have an Inspire 3 for well over a year, and again, no issues.

So from my perspective I would say that either would be a good choice and it depends on what you really want from your tracker.  The Charge 6 has more features than the Inspire 3.  Having said that, between the two I have to say that I love my Inspire 3 - but that is mainly because I prefer its size and looks.

There is a compare trackers option on the Fitbit store, but since you say you are aware of the pros and cons of the two trackers I assume you have seen that.

Good luck with your decision, and let us know what you decide!

@Julia_G thanks a lot for making me feel confident about Fitbits. I'll let you know later about the decision.
