It attempts to provide some smartwatch luxuries in a device that looks like a piece of jewelry. The Fitbit Luxe, which retails for $150, is the latter's latest style-focused fitness tracker. That’s why Garmin offers a seemingly endless array of watches, Apple currently sells no less than three Apple Watches, and Fitbit has an array of wearables from kid-centric trackers to a smartwatch the company hopes can one day detect early symptoms of COVID-19. The Luxe lacks an altimeter to count the number of floors you may climb during the day, so if you want to measure your stair climbing and hill walking efforts, the Charge 4, Versa 2, Versa 3, Sense and Ionic are the better options here.In the game of fitness wearables, it’s hard to give everyone what they want. You need to add the pool length in the Exercise app first, but swim tracking is otherwise automatic. Swim tracking includes lengths, duration, distance and pace. For the best experience, theįitbit Aria Air scale syncs directly with your app If weight loss is a goal, consider pairing your tracker with a set of digital scales. I used this as my main target (beyond the basic steps count) as a sedentary lifestyle can be just as unhealthy for you as a poor diet and lack of sleep.Īway from steps, you can set yourself targets for Calories Burned, Distance and Active Zone Minutes, and the Luxe will give you real-time updates when each is reached.

The Reminders to Move feature motivates you to get up and start moving, pushing you to hit at least a 250 steps-per-hour goal.
