If I asked you to imagine a Fitness Tracker on the wrist of a random person, what would your imaginary mobile look like? For years, they have largely looked the same — plastic or metal rectangles attached to a generic silicone or nylon tape.

Fitbit likes to say that its clothes look like jewelry. But it’s hard to create a Fitness Tracker that actually looks like jewelry and does everything from recording your steps, sleep and workouts to instructing you to breathe and relax. The company tried its hand at a stylish fitness bracelet with The Alta, but this device was only a slightly narrower power with a tough screen and has since been discontinued. Fitbit sings a familiar tune with Luxury, once again promising a “fashionable Fitness and Wellness Tracker”… in an effortlessly chic bracelet design.”

Apart from the Design, the Luxury has almost everything you want in a fitness bracelet: a heart rate sensor, oxygen saturation monitoring (SpO2), sleep tracking, water resistance and basic synchronization with your phone. At 150, this could be a great option for those looking for a simple no-frills Tracker that stands out from the crowd.

Design

Fitbit’s previous claims about the style and chic of their trackers were questionable. These are just rectangular blocks with some minor variations. When announcing the Luxury, the company meticulously detailed how it made the Luxury matter, stating that “the revolutionary design of the device has a soft and gentle shape inspired by the human body, which fits easily on the wrist and looks like jewelry.”

Opinions About Fitbit Luxe

He used techniques such as metal injection molding to make the stainless steel matter “which provides the heath expected of handmade jewelry while offering the level of precision necessary for advanced sensor technology. “After making a few dozen mentions about the elegance of Luxury, the company finally calls it “one of the most fashionable and comfortable devices from Fitbit”.”.

Co-founder James Park said: “We have made great technological advances with Luxe, creating a smaller, sleeker and beautifully designed Tracker with advanced features-some that were previously only available with our smartwatches.” This means that Fitbit has been able to insert advanced components into the small body of the Luxe, which is about the same width as my index finger and only 1.43 inches long. It is indeed very small and thin, with a profiler of 0.4 inches. It’s about as thick as the Apple Watch se, but about a third of the width. It is also about three-quarters the width of a Fitbit power 4 and a hair thinner.

So yes, Luxury is a delicate little thing, which is nice for people like me who have small wrists. The stainless steel matter itself is slightly curved at the edges, which makes it less bulky than the power 4 and the Alta. But the strap you choose can make all the difference. Combined with the silicone option that you get in the box, the Luxury still looks a little basic. For example, exchange it for the Gold Mesh Version that Fitbit also sent me, and voila! Instant Increase In Style.

That’s fine, but you could make most other fitness trackers attractive by swapping a nice band. Where the Luxury stands out is its small size and narrow width, and this is good news for those of us who want something smaller. The added advantage of The imprint of Luxury is that it has never bothered me when striking or performing a handstand.

The bad thing about the size of the Luxury is that its screen is small enough. This is a 0.76-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 124 x 206. It is surrounded by a thick bezel that probably hides all the sensors of Luxury. But it makes things like your training statistics very difficult to read. The screen itself is sharp, bright and colorful. However, if you find it difficult to read tiny text, you may need a larger device. Fitbit told Engadget that an update with a larger text will be available soon, although we don’t yet know the exact timeline and we also don’t know what it will look like when it is released.

Navigation and use

Like the power 4 and Sense Smartwatch, the Luxe does not have body catch’s. Unlike the other two, however, this Tracker does not even have a solid-state inductive sensor that detects pressure to trigger an action. The only way to interact with Luxury is via the touch screen. Fortunately, Fitbit uses a Standard touchscreen here instead of its artificial touchscreen, which you had to push forcibly to spot a tip. The Luxury allows you to swipe and tap on the screen as you would with any Smartwatch, but with a very rudimentary operating system.
