Many of the technology brands on the market are focused on providing better and more feature-rich devices for consumers, but the Fitbit Inspire fitness tracker takes things in a decidedly simpler direction. The device comes in two model options including the Inspire and the Inspire HR, which are the same devices with the latter integrated with heart rate tracking capabilities.

The Fitbit Inspire and Inspire HR feature water resistance up to 50 meters and will provide up to five days of usage per charge to limit the potential of downtime.
