Fitbit - Luxe

Avoid Fitbit - I have the Luxe and it has always been wildly inaccurate on calculating calories, the few times I've used it. I mainly bought it for the sleep-tracker. Now that the Meta Move app has been unceremoniously discontinued without any good explanation, I honestly don't know what I'll do for counting calories I burn while working out on the Quest 2. Anyone know of any free basic VR apps that are a replacement for Move?

I bought a fitbit luxe off backmarket for less than $50 this year. It's simple, but it tracks swims.

I adore my Charge 6 and I bought it last year knowing Google is trying to phase them out. (Couldn't resist the sale price!) In the past I've had some of the original Fitbit trackers: I had the original Classic, a Fitbit One, a Luxe, the Versa, and Versa 2. I enjoyed all of them, especially the Versas and for some reason the One. So the Charge 6 to me is like a happy medium: it's a basic tracker in a wristband, not a smart watch. So it doesn't do everything, but it's got a pretty sleek form factor and it does the basics quite well. I use mine the way it was intended: an activity tracker! I can log my walks and runs, connect it like a heart rate monitor to gym equipment and fitness apps, and... That's pretty much it for me. I like hitting 10k steps and seeing the little animation. I like hopping on a spin bike and seeing my heart rate. I like going for a run and seeing what zone I'm in. It's super basic and that's what I enjoy. The only thing I miss is that my Versas had a C25K app that I liked a lot, but I knew when I bought the Charge 6 that it wouldn't have this functionality... Although I do think it's a missed opportunity.

My seventh Fitbit died last week (from Luxe to Versa to Charge 5 and 6, this was my second in-warranty replacement), white line on the screen to no screen at all within 24 hours. So with some Target credit I decided to go with a Garmin Instinct for $200. The GPS is much, much more accurate (even when not paired with my phone), the app tracks a lot more information than the Fitbit app did and takes up a third of the space on my phone. I miss the constant step updates; the Garmin just updates every minute. That's about the only drawback.

Fitbit user for 10 years and like others say (I'm not a Google hater though) it's definitely not what it once was.  I've bought the Blaze, an Ace and currently using a Luxe.  Will not be buying anymore and will be looking for a replacement in the near future.  I'm not a super user, but there's just too many resets, re-syncs, and other random glitches that you have to mess with in the last couple years, it's really not worth it to me. I want something that I can use to help me track sleep, alarms, track exercise and give me notifications.   Cons: -The app on Android isn't supported on older model phones (Android 11 or higher only) -they keep rearranging the GUI on updates so its less user friendly and less intuitive -unable to set alarms from the app now -no real user support. You have to trouble shoot everything using online forums. The support team is essentially non existent (in fact just today received a bounced back email from the email listed on google play support, saying it's not monitored anymore)  -cant customize watchface (Luxe model) -battery life inconsistent (sometimes lasts a week between charges sometimes just 3 days) -doesnt always recharge reliably (I've set it on the charger 12 hoursat a time after ensuring a connection andstill won't be charged. I think the connectors are overly sensitive) Pros -smaller devices than other brands -Not too many features if you're trying to keep it simple -affordable

I used the FitBit app and 2 watches over the course of my fitness journey. I actually liked the 2nd one (Luxe) but idk how accurate it actually was. The app worked for me but that was before Google acquired them. I ended up upgrading to a Samsung watch for non-fitness smart watch uses and moved to MyFitnessPal for food logging. I chose MFP because it will automatically sync to Samsung Health to record my activity, sleep, etc in one place.

Nope. I am looking for a good replacement for my fitbit luxe as it is starting to have issues.

I am pretty sure fitbit intentionally make their products break immediately after the warranty runs out. My wife’s Luxe died like 2 weeks after the warranty expired, my second Luxe too. Luckily my first Luxe died like 1 week before the warranty ran out so they had to replace it

A FitBit Luxe, golden watch sides, that's several years old. I've thought about upgrading to a Garmin, but I like how small the FitBit is (slim wrists), and I feel like I don't run enough to justify the Garmin. I wear the FitBit all the time unless it's charging or I'm in the shower. I always have my phone on me when I'm out, so the no in device GPS doesn't bother me that much.

I wear a Fitbit Luxe. It's dainty and kind of looks like jewelry. I literally could not go without it, it's like a vital part of my body at this point lol.
