Looks are the main appeal of the Fitbit Luxe, and the special edition is particularly striking. (Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.) If you’re looking to get active and stay active, though, you may want to look elsewhere. If you’re looking for an ultracasual fitness tracker and a stylish smart device for your wrist, the Fitbit Luxe could be one of your best options. The Luxe is a cute tracker, but it has some questionable choices and oversights to be aware of-most of which are endemic to Fitbit devices. 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. In the game of fitness wearables, it’s hard to give everyone what they want.
