Currently shopping for my first Fitbit (yay!) but I'm torn between the Inspire and Inspire HR. Considering I'm starting out I was leaning towards the Inspire, but I was wondering if there were any good reasons to go for the HR instead?

Hi @tripalreno4 Welcome to the world of Fitbits! In my opinion (and not everyone would agree with me), the Inspire HR is a better tracker to get. Not so much because of the heart Rate but because you have much more flexible exercise tracking options. With the inspire, it only uses automatic detection, which workes pretty well for, walks, runs, bike and a few other basic activities, but for different activities ( for example sport - tennis, soccer, hockey etc, dancing of all types, yoga, kyaking, skiiing and many other activities) it is unable to detect them so cant record them. The HR on the other hand lets you start and stop activities manually so gives you a whole other range of activities you can track on the fitbit.

I love my Inspire HR. As far as smaller trackers it is the best Fitbit available I think.
