Stay healthy, active and look rather fancy with a luxury on your wrist.
Fitbit has just released their Fitbit Luxe range (including a limited edition) for the health and wellbeing conscious ladies (and discerning guys) out there.
Being a tad smaller than the traditional Fitbit and with a slim silicone strap for the standard version – it’s like wearing nothing. Lighter than air.
Fitbit sent one of them over and for a couple of weeks I’ve worn it to see what the Luxe is all about.
If you’re new to Fitbit you’ll need to set the smartwatch up via the Fitbit app on either Android or iOS (Apple).
It’s pretty much all automated, but make sure you’re at 100% battery (otherwise you may run out of juice during the setup or the setup wont proceed if the battery is too low).
From their you’re on your path to a healthier and hopefully happier you.
The Luxe features the usual’s that we have seen in other Fitbit trackers, fitness tracking, step counting, heart monitoring and managing stress levels.
But there’s more. This isn’t just a tracker to wear on a fancy night out, this is your all round fitness coach and more.
Setting goals, adding menstruation cycles (okay I didn’t do that one) and even swimming as the Fitbit Luxe is 50 meters water proof. I was lucky it was. The Fitbit is a wear and forget. I forgot I was wearing it and it joined me in the shower. Twice.
Battery life is better than alot of other smartwatches out there – Fitbit stating it being a total of 5 days. I got 5 to 6 days consistently.
The charge time is quick enough. When I received the Fitbit Luxe it was at totally 0% battery. After less than an hour 100% and I was good to go.
Another interesting thing is that the Fitbit Luxe doesn’t have any tactile buttons.
None.
Everything is done via the touch colour screen from your fitness regimes to instant access to live stats. If you’re wanting something more indepth – you’ll find that, including sleeping results via the Fitbit app which the Luxe syncs to via Bluetooth.
The Fitbit Luxe is a wearable tracker that has all of the features of larger smartwatch’s.
It’s the smart choice for those that don’t want to wear something too bulky, worries about ‘will this go with my outfit’ and wants to take steps to a healthier lifestyle, or at best aims to keep track of their wellbeing.
Cheap enough for all budgets the Fitbit Luxe is the time telling wrist bound luxury that has all of the functions of any Fitbit to date slimmed down.
