The face’s small size does present a few limitations (you can only see a small amount of data at once, and graphs are out of the question) but it’s vivid and crisp, with smooth animations and scrolling.

The tracker’s small size meant it never dug into our wrist during workouts, as larger sports watches can sometimes do. Many modern fitness trackers (including Fitbit’s latest designs) use a soft buckle and tang in place of a traditional fastening for added comfort, particularly while sleeping, but the Luxe’s small stainless steel buckle was impossible to feel. Our test unit had a silicone band in Lunar White, which was extremely comfortable, even at night. The latter has a distinctly feminine look, but unlike the Garmin Lily, which has a similar jewelry-inspired look, the Luxe isn’t specifically aimed at women, and its silicone bands come in Lunar White, Orchid, or Black. There are also more band options for the Luxe, which is available in two versions: one with a silicone band, and one with a gold-toned stainless steel link bracelet by jewelry designer Gorjana. The Luxe's magnetic charger fastens securely, though isn't compatible with other Fitbit devices (Image credit: Future) The Fitbit Inspire 3 echoes this pebble design. This is matched by a stainless steel buckle, giving the Luxe a smarter overall look. In fact, its design very closely resembles the Inspire 2 – but there are some important differences.įirst of all, while the Inspire 2 has a plastic case, the Luxe uses stainless steel, in black, gold and silver. It follows the same 'Biologic Industrial Design Language' as the Fitbit Inspire 2, Versa 3 and Sense, with ergonomic lines designed to suit the curves of the human body. The Luxe is one of Fitbit’s smallest fitness trackers, with the slimline design that harkens back to the original Fitbit Flex released in 2013. This effectively adds $60 / £48 / AU$90, the cost of six months of Premium, to the value of the device. Every other device packs just six months, and if a Luxe 2 is on the horizon, it's likely to be reduced further. Now the Inspire 2 is no longer on sale, this is the only device with a whole year of Premium.

The Luxe also comes with a free one-year trial of Fitbit Premium, which you can activate as soon as you’ve paired the device with your phone. That put it nicely in between the Fitbit Inspire 3 (which launched at $99.95 / £84.99 / AU$179.95) and the Fitbit Charge 5 premium tracker (which costs $149.95 / £129.99 / AU$269.95). Initially, it cost $149.95 / £129.99 / AU$199.95 for the standard edition with a silicone band, and $199.95 / £179.95 / AU$299.95 for the special edition with the gold-colored Gorjana link bracelet. Price sits between Inspire 2 and Versa 3.The Fitbit Luxe has an array of alternative watch faces, which can be customized through the mobile app (Image credit: Future) Fitbit Luxe: Price and availability
