For this review, Fitbit sent me the soft gold/white model, along with a soft gold stainless steel mesh accessory band (sold separately for $79.95). In addition, the company offers a range of Luxe accessory bands priced from $29.95 to $99.95. The Special Edition model also comes with a pink silicone band. In the box, you get both small and large bands, which fit wrists measuring 5.5 to 7.1 inches and 7.1 to 8.7 inches in circumference, respectively.įitbit also sells a $199.95 Special Edition model designed in collaboration with the Laguna Beach-based jewelry brand gorjana, which features a soft gold case and a metal link bracelet for a more sophisticated look. The band is made of silicone and features a metal buckle. It offers a slight bump in daylight brightness compared with the Charge 4.įitbit offers the Luxe in soft gold with a white band, matte black with a matching band, or platinum with a pink band. The Luxe's display is tiny, measuring just 0.76 inches diagonally, but it's sharp and bright, with a resolution of 206 by 124.

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 better blends function and form with an elevated, jewelry-inspired design. These details give it a more sophisticated look than the Inspire 2 or Charge 4, both of which are around 0.1-inch thicker, feature plastic cases, and have grayscale screens.įor comparison, the entry-level Inspire 2 is a good starter model that offers the longest battery life of any Fitbit device. 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. It lacks the altimeter, GPS, and mobile payment support you get with the $129.95 Charge 4, and it has about half the battery life of the $99.95 Inspire 2, but the Luxe offers a more attractive take on the basics, making it the best Fitbit if you're serious about style. It's thinner than the Fitbit Charge 4 and Inspire 2, making it more comfortable to sleep with 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 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. Like the idea of a fitness tracker, but haven't found one that suits your sense of style? The Fitbit Luxe ($149.95) might be right up your alley.
