was about to buy it - i wont be now

I specifically stick to Fitbit because of the screen size. I don't want a mini smartphone on my wrist, I want a digital watch that has a modern/futuristic look. Absolutely everyone that I know has a big apple watch or something similar, they're everywhere, yet I always get looks and compliments on my fitbit specially since I have the stainless steel mesh bracelet paired with it. I love the small vertically rectangular form factor, and the monochromatic display, to me, just gives it this awesome retro-futuristic look. If only fitbit would give you a green monochromatic option it would absolutely make it perfect for me. The less is better approach works great for me with fitbit, except for battery life.

I wanted a small, nice looking, step counting Fitbit and found it in this nice watch. I’ve had other Fitbit’s over the last 7 years and have liked them all. Now I was ready for a small, great looking, accurate, step-counter, heart rate monitor. This is just perfect and I’m so happy they’ve come out with this smaller, cute device. It also tracks other measurements, but I don’t want to pay a monthly fee. I’m happy for the free info.

thank you for this review. I totally agree. The fact, that fitbit keeps up the premium membership is honestly the only thing I don't like about fitbit. The app is great AND the fact, that it tracks the most important things ANS is so small makes it a very good tracker for women. It's true. With small wrists other trackers look like you've a solid retro alarm clock on your wrists, so I guess this is the target group...

Very helpful review - Thanks for sharing!

i have purchased it and I am super glad with my purchase. Go for it! :)

I love my Luxe! I wanted something slim and lightweight, and this looks like a bracelet more than a smart watch with lots of different bands to choose from that are easy to change and I can wear with any outfit. It keeps track of everything I'm really interested in - steps, heart rate, and sleep patterns plus much more! I've tried others, but this is the BEST one I've found for me so far - this one is a KEEPER!

I am quite petite and the Apple Watch looks like a billboard on my wrist. I bought the Luxe after seeing it at Costco. I really like the size and the functionality suits me just fine.

I'm here to support this channel.😍😍😍🔥🔥👌👌

I was going to give the luxe to my mother for her birthday but it wasn't out yet. I didn't want to wait for the Luxe release so gave her the Inspire 2 that she loved and from what I see in your video I did the right choice because the differences between the 2 are practically only in the design.

Loving your channel! I hope when Google launches the next wearOS watches with Fitbit features it isn't severely hindered by not having a premium subscription.

Another great review by the best wearable reviewer... Keep it up brother 👍🏼

I feel like this band is pricy but slimmer than the normal trackers that's why I'm buying this the catch 22 is the shipping I've been waiting a couple of months to receive this tracker because of the material used to make this even when I preordered it. I'm waiting for it I just hope it's made out to be what I've been wanting a slim tracker not a lot of fancy features but a good tracker.

A Mi-Band 6 with the same strap costs barely 60/$70 in addition, no need to pay to see your information. Even Apple would not have dared this scam 🤦🏽‍♂️.

Great content keep it up as always bro

So 4 times as expensive as a mi band 6 and you need to pay $80 a year to see your own data? What a joke.

It's initially cheap considering the price of other smartwatches, but really it's not $150 if you actually want a "smart" watch. It could be a little more than $150 or a lot more depending on how long you keep the subscription. I stay away from companies that hold hostage features of a product you already bought. And I wouldn't ever get a watch without GPS because it's so common in smart watches to me it does make sense to get a "smart" watch without GPS especially for $150+ price tag.

Can u do a review on the huawei band 6 pls

I have tile on my Inspire 2, does the Luxe have it too?

Any chance of reviewing the Huawei Watch Fit?

It was a beautiful watch but I returned mine after a month. I learned that the problem I had of it not turning back on when I put it on the charger was a common one (per my deep dive in reviews and forums). The little button on the charger did not work to reset it. It basically stayed off for a few hours to up to 4 days. I was very sad to return because it really is beautiful. I do wish it had a slim button to turn on/off/sleep ON the watch side. Why didn’t I just exchange it? Again, my deep dive showed it was a common and recurring problem. I’m not going to fight with my watch. I just need it to work.

NO how many stairs climbed? Currently I own fitbit charge 2 and i dont think i should upgrade right now.

I still doubt there there are issues like what Versa Lite has or not. I have used Versa Lite for more than a year now, and I have it changed by Fitbit many times because of the factory defects. It just shows error. I cannot hard reset, or even charge. The display does not work. I admit I prefer Fitbit App than Garmin. Even though I know Google bought Fitbit already, but I still do not trust it.

When I go to Bluetooth on my iPhone it can never find the Luxe. Consequently when I go on the Fitbit app I just get No Data for everything.

Just can’t find the Luxe., just says try again. So looking to buy an Apple.

Fitbit premium is actually useless. Almost everything you need is free. Heart rate, workouts, calories burned, food tracking, sleep tracking including stages, steps, stairs, distance. I use it without premium and the app is pretty full featured. I tried the premium and honestly didn’t use any of the additional stuff and don’t miss anything. They give you workout videos and some mindfulness stuff, and some additional health metrics that I don’t care about. It does the basics really well, however I do notice my fitbit (charge 4) has some trouble with tracking heart rates accurately at high heart rates > 170. Otherwise it works pretty well. If you are an athlete who needs high accuracy I would suggest Garmins, or apple watch if you don’t mind charging everyday.

I do however always have my phone with me and bluetooth on, so the Mi Band is often using the phone's GPS. That said, the Inspire 2 has amazing sleep tracking, the Mi Band gets my time in bed right but not sleep, so it's often 30-60 minutes more sleep than the Fitbit. Mi Band also as a piece of hardware is much nicer than the Inspire 2, it has larger colored screen, better UI, more features, better battery life, etc... however I really like the Fitbit app/ecosystem and sleep tracking. Very torn. I may have to check out the Charge 5 when it comes out, as it will have the best balance of features/battery life/accuracy.

@A R The people that buy this type of device are 9 times out of 10, somewhat fit. And want to calculate how much work they are putting in whether it by miles or doing workouts. A heart rate sensor is niceity, that happens to shorten the battery life of what you actually want to use the device for. I'm sure alot of people probably opt turn off the feature for that reason. But if someone, feels the need to spend an extra $90 for a heart rate monitor that "may or may not" be slightly better. That's their prerogative, but they should probably invest in a chest strap, if there actual goal is to monitor their heart rate more accurately

So, I bought this because it looked neat. While I like the simplicity of it, I didn't like that it didn't have a GPS in it. Well, now I know why, because they are selling a new one with it! I hate that they did this, only a couple month into this being released, really screwed us over. Not only that, but the mesh band is the worst. Literally sticks to everything, and I couldn't return it because it got scratched up pretty bad while at my desk, because it kept latching onto it. I would rate this about a 2.5/5. Not happy right now, especially since I just saw that the Charge 5 is the exact design, but with a GPS in it.

Fit bit premium required for full analytics!! NOOOOO Thank you!!!!

I get charging for a monthly service like netflix and spotify premium because theyre entertainment but when it comes to fitness if you pay for this you should get every feature they were able to afford putting inside. Just giving people excuses are its just dumb im general that you gotta pay if you want to pay attention to fitness and your health. It should be free to be healthy. (Ik you dont need this to be fit im just trying to get my point across)

screen too small

Their getting to pretty for me.

paying 10$/month doesn't convince me.

An overpriced fitness band that lacks features compared to the competition, then lets you pay a subscription fee to unlock everything. No GPS, no NFC, no smart functions at all and only suits women with its design. I guess if you want a fancy bracelet that can monitor your sleep, this is your go to.
