Physical Design & Battery Life
Fitbit Inspire 2 weighs 37g. So, it is very light-weight. It comes in three colors – Black, Lunar White, and Desert Rose. The buckle has aluminum that makes it secure. Being water-resistant up to 50m, it can read your swimming period in a pool. Fitbit Inspire 2 can survive up to 10 hours without charging. So, one can track health or steps during office hours. Also, such a prolonged battery life relieves the user from checking the battery status.

Sensors & Other Essentials
Fitbit Inspire 2 consists of many sensors that read and track the data about the user’s health. But, unlike the other Fitbit devices, it lacks an altimeter and GPS tracker. So, one cannot read the floors climbed. The user will not be able to read the tracking zone or get the Workout Intensity Map.
