Most people who buy a fitness band want three things: step and heart-rate tracking, sleep data, and a battery that doesn’t need charging every night. The differences show up in GPS, screen and — easy to miss — which features need a paid subscription. This guide compares three slim bands on those.

Fitbit Charge 6 — GPS and Google extras
Fitbit lists built-in GPS, 40+ exercise modes, 24/7 heart rate, Google Maps turn-by-turn directions and YouTube Music controls, and the ability to show heart rate on compatible treadmills and ellipticals. Pick it if you run or ride without your phone. Skip it if you won’t use GPS.
Fitbit Inspire 3 — the simple one
The listing highlights up to 10 days of battery (varies with use), SpO2, a stress management score and phone notifications. Note what Fitbit flags: the daily readiness score and sleep profile are Premium only. Pick it for basic all-day tracking. Skip it if you want deep sleep analysis without paying.
Huawei Band 11 — screen and weight
Huawei lists a 1.62-inch 60 Hz AMOLED screen up to 1500 nits, 16 g weight, an 8.99 mm case, sleep HRV tracking with out-of-range alerts, and around 100 workout modes. Pick it if readability outdoors and a light band matter. Skip it if you want Google services.
What the listings don’t tell you
- Subscription cost after the trial. Fitbit’s Premium features continue to cost money after the included months.
- Accuracy. None of these are medical devices; treat SpO2 and HRV as trends.
- Phone compatibility. Check the companion app supports your phone before buying.
Bottom line
GPS on the wrist: Charge 6. Long battery and simplicity: Inspire 3. Bright screen, light weight, no subscription upsell: Huawei Band 11.
