Is a Fitbit inspire 2 still a good choice for sleep tracking?

[rewater]

Looking to get a Fitbit solely for sleep tracking, I won’t wear it other than at night. Found one lightly used on marketplace for $40 which seems like a good deal but was wondering if anyone still uses theirs today and feels like it still works well? I could also get an inspire 3 for 60 to 70 bucks but not sure if the extra cost is really worth it for the minimal I’ll use it for.

@sukotgu2 @rewater the Inspire 2 was discontinued in 2022, so the device that you are considering must be at least three years old. Rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan, even if they are never used. My concern with buying an Inspire 2 is that the battery may fail very quickly. For that reason, I would go with the newer Inspire 3. Even though it's more expensive, it should last much longer.
