Fitbit Luxe: Sleek and Stylish

It offers all the basics Fitbit is known for, including 24/7 heart rate monitoring, step counting, more than 20 exercise modes for workout tracking, a swim-proof design, reminders to move, sleep insights, stress management tools, and smartphone notifications, in a fashion-forward design you’ll want to wear. It’s thinner than the Fitbit Charge 4 and Inspire 2, making it more comfortable to wear while sleeping and a better fit for small wrists, and it features a stainless-steel case and an AMOLED color display for a significant step up in style. It lacks the altimeter, GPS, and mobile payment support you get with the Charge 4 ($129.95), and it has about half the battery life of the Inspire 2 ($99.95), but the Luxe offers a more attractive take on the basics, making it the best Fitbit if you’re serious about style.

A STREAMLINED DESIGN

Measuring 1.43 by 0.69 by 0.40 inches (LWH), the Luxe stands out among Fitbit’s other trackers for its AMOLED color display and stainless-steel case. These details give it a more sophisticated look than the Inspire 2 or Charge 4, both of which are around 0.1inch thicker, feature plastic cases, and have grayscale screens.

For comparison, the entry-level Inspire 2 is a good starter model that offers the longest battery life of any Fitbit device. The Charge 4 is Fitbit’s most advanced fitness tracker, offering a standalone GPS to map your exercise route without a phone, an altimeter to track your floors climbed, Spotify support, and Fitbit Pay for mobile payments. The Luxe offers similar features and functionality to the Inspire 2 but blends function and form with an elevated, jewelry-inspired design.
