Fitbit Luxe vs Charge 6 specs comparison
The Charge 6 is comfortably the more capable tracker, with built-in GPS, ECG, NFC, a broader sensor set and more workout features. Luxe is slimmer and more jewellery-like, so it still has appeal if appearance and comfort matter more than advanced fitness tracking, but Charge 6 is the much better all-rounder.
