As an avid city cyclist, I’ve lately been asking myself, “What’s the best fitness tracker for analyzing my bike rides?” To find out, I grabbed the two devices nearest to me on my desk and suited up for a chilly December ride.
Those two devices happened to be the Fitbit Inspire 3 — a small and budget-friendly model aimed at casual users — and the Polar Vantage V3, a more advanced fitness watch geared toward hardcore athletes. More importantly, the Fitbit costs ~$100, while the Polar is closer to $600.
