Fitbit Luxe review: A discreet fitness tracker for gym-goers

I’ve tested almost all the Fitbits over the years, both fitness trackers and smartwatches,

looking at how easy they are to use, how many features they have,

[{"selector":"#anim-5ea7f9d4-d2eb-48ce-8e3b-03e3627c7288 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-63.97460904623012%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89752a03-817a-41cf-93b8-663de9b47d09","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -476.73621%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -134.058222252%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -45.575981676000005%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -17.114829939000003%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -7.437084876%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":1600,"fill":"both"}]

how comfortable they are to wear daily, and what their battery life is like.

[{"selector":"#anim-0e3447ae-b560-4b2f-ad31-28f3d79136fb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(32.729492102832616%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8134d324-c9ad-4096-a6dd-eacff44c8c0e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Fitbit Luxe is the latest to go through this scrutiny

[{"selector":"#anim-95211852-3e49-40f3-8337-220cbf6f27e6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.0607142804065681%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aeafcf2a-1ad8-4cb0-a94f-ad7cbbbf0d68","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a8c18b5-2e31-45ad-993a-290ddb061f8d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

it’s passed with flying colors.

[{"selector":"#anim-dcbeb349-f37d-4998-808e-c587616971c2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.021484491176406%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ab8fe8b-e575-4eec-8fef-b04926702a43","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2cde9170-c866-4dc7-9da5-243e1d83c4c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -993.00458%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As one of the best Fitbits, the Luxe is definitely worth considering

[{"selector":"#anim-f4c0ed73-4087-4130-abd7-1ebfdf26183f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(61.3378903168295%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7bbd8421-4c59-4dc5-9bf8-0a7765886200","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0821651-fc34-4a18-82aa-af4392545ecd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 195.48614%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

if you’re in the market for a fitness tracker as a first-time

[{"selector":"#anim-aa966c4c-1262-4042-bdec-f5ad1c8fcaab [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e5d199a4-c191-4642-b564-d9c5e648ec47","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ec6afe0-f24f-49bc-8783-b1ccff31ffc9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.75787%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

earer or long-standing fan of the brand.
