![]() For most people, the readings of blood oxygen levels will be good enough for a general idea of your health and subsequent changes to it. The one Luxe enhancement that satisfies is the SpO2 sensor. Having to repeat motions to use the device keeps it from being a seamless part of your routine. Interaction with a tracker is something you’ll do daily, and prioritizing form over function is wholly impractical here. Taps and swipes don’t always register on the first try, either. To go back in a menu, you must double-tap on the screen, which sometimes results in selecting the option on-screen instead. ![]() On paper, the nixing of side buttons sounds like a step up, but in practice, it makes menu navigation less enjoyable. The Luxe’s touch-only controls are also problematic. In notifications, the amount of words you can see on a single line borders on comical. Having an option for a smaller font or tighter line spacing would have been useful. Trying to keep up with chats or email actually began to test my patience, unlike with other Fitbit trackers with limited screen real estate. You’ll notice this most when skimming through message notifications, where you often get just one word per line. ![]() (Disappointment over the interface is a recurring theme with the Luxe more on that below.)

(The Luxe measures 1.43 x 0.69 x 0.4 inches, or 36.3 x 17.5 x 10.1 mm, which makes it a touch shorter, wider, and skinnier than the Inspire 2.) And at first glance, the screen is crisp and bright, making it easy to read…in theory. You’ll notice one of the Fitbit Luxe’s main upgrades at first glance-the 0.76-inch color AMOLED display, which is roughly the same size as the Inspire 2’s monochrome PMOLED screen, but on a thinner body.
