Choose to wear Inspire 2 around your wrist or in the clip accessory (sold separately). If you need to remove the band or attach a different band, see the instructions in "Change the band".
When you wear Inspire 2 in the band, make sure your tracker is set to On Wrist .
When you wear Inspire 2 in the accessory clip, make sure it's set to On Clip . For more information, see "Navigate Inspire 2".
When you're not exercising, wear Inspire 2 a finger's width above your wrist bone.
In general, it's always important to give your wrist a break on a regular basis by removing your tracker for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend removing your tracker while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing your tracker, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your tracker and may cause skin irritation.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Inspire 2 on your dominant or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and eating. To start, the Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Inspire 2 on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app:
From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Inspire 2 tile > Wrist > Dominant.
Wear Inspire 2 clipped to your clothing. Remove the bands, and place your tracker in the clip. For more information, see "Change the band".
To put Inspire 2 in the clip:
Note that when Inspire 2 is set to On Clip , certain features are turned off, including heart-rate tracking, automatic exercise tracking, Active Zone Minutes, and Water Lock
.
Wear Inspire 2 on or close to your body with the screen facing outward. Secure the clip tightly to a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband. Try out a few different locations to see what's most comfortable and secure for you.
If you experience skin irritation when wearing Inspire 2 on your bra or waistband, clip it to an external piece of clothing instead, such as your belt or pocket.
Inspire 2 comes with a small band attached and an additional large, bottom band in the box. Both the top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands, sold separately on fitbit.com. For band measurements, see "Band size".
Most bands for Inspire and Inspire HR don't fit Inspire 2. Check fitbit.com for certain bands that are compatible with the Inspire series. The Inspire clip accessory isn't compatible with Inspire 2.

Inspire 2 personalizes your heart-rate zones using your heart rate reserve, which is the difference between your maximum heart rate and your resting heart rate. To help you target the training intensity of your choice, check your heart rate and heart-rate zone on your tracker during exercise. Inspire 2 notifies you when you enter a heart-rate zone.
Icon | Zone | Calculation | Description |
![]() | Below Zone | Below 40% of your heart rate reserve | Below the fat burn zone, your heart beats at a slower pace. |
![]() | Fat Burn Zone | Between 40% and 59% of your heart rate reserve | In the fat burn zone, you're likely in a moderate activity such as a brisk walk. Your heart rate and breathing might be elevated, but you can still carry on a conversation. |
![]() | Cardio Zone | Between 60% and 84% of your heart rate reserve | In the cardio zone, you're likely doing a vigorous activity such as running or spinning. |
![]() | Peak Zone | Greater than 85% of your heart rate reserve | In the peak zone, you're likely doing a short, intense activity that improves performance and speed, such as sprinting or high-intensity interval training. |
Instead of using these heart-rate zones, you can create a custom zone in the Fitbit app to target a specific heart-rate range.
For more information, see help.fitbit.com.
Earn Active Zone Minutes for time spent in the fat burn, cardio, or peak heart-rate zones. To help you maximize your time, you earn 2 Active Zone Minutes for each minute you're in the cardio or peak zones.
1 minute in the fat burn zone = 1 Active Zone Minute
1 minute in the cardio or peak zones = 2 Active Zone Minutes
There are 2 ways Inspire 2 notifies you about Active Zone Minutes:
Light buzz = below zone
1 buzz = fat burn zone
2 buzzes = cardio zone
3 buzzes = peak zone
