I am very happy with the Inspire 3 but the heartbeat sensor doesn’t work due to my tattoos on both wrists. 
For anyone who has the same issue here is my solution. 
Add 2 layers nano tape on the backside and problem solved.

Notice to put the sensor above a blanc spot (no ink) tho. Without the nano tape the blanc spot was to small in my case.

Thanks for the suggestion. My wrists are fully tattooed, and I cannot have any adhesive on my skin. I had to resort to turning the Inspire3 on the inside of my wrist, which looks really goofy, and I am sure the glass will soon be scratch up. Not a good solution, but it works. I wish there was a warning when I purchased my Inspire 3 last week that tattoo make it borderline useless.
