Fitbit Luxe

Fitbit Luxe is an armband from 2021, sitting in the budget band at an indicative $149. It is no longer sold new. It stays in this comparison because plenty of people are still wearing one.

It reads 17 of the 33 signals this comparison tracks. Nothing at all from body composition. Rarer readings it does take: sleep efficiency.

By sensor class: 13 at consumer grade. That grade is my classification of the hardware, not a lab test. Those readings come from an optical heart rate sensor, an optical blood oxygen sensor, a skin temperature sensor and an accelerometer. Blood oxygen is measured through the night, not continuously through the day.

Its 5 days per charge are the 10th longest of the 11 devices of its kind here that publish a figure. The AMOLED screen can stay always on. Rated 5ATM / 50m, fine for swimming. Dimensions 36.3x17.6x10mm. No subscription is required.

Fashion tracker, discontinued; SpO2 + skin-temp, no ECG/GPS/altimeter.
