These will cost you, but if you're looking to live up to the Luxe name, you shouldn't be terribly surprised that you'll need to fork over more than the basic purchase price.

That makes 24/7 wear for sleep tracking much more palatable, a major concern that many users have with bigger, bulkier devices.įitbit wisely opted for a comfortable silicone clasp band as its default attachment, although there are several other varieties available to class up the tracker, from a stainless steel mesh option I tried for a few days as a change of pace to leather and link bracelet accessories. The total lack of buttons-even the novel inductive control spots Fitbit uses in its Charge and Sense devices-was a good choice to keep the design seamless. The metal casing and screen catch the light like a piece of jewelry, rather than sitting on the wrist as a blank chunk of plastic when not 'awake', a major plus. The Luxe has a stainless steel casing with subtly rounded corners and features a sleek-looking touchscreen interface that stays a reflective inky black until you wake it up for use. The tracker itself builds on the shape of the brand's most basic device, the Inspire 2, with better materials.

The Luxe is so much smaller and lighter than the trackers and smartwatches I've grown accustomed to wearing that the testing period felt like I was giving my wrist a breather.
