Editor's Pick: Fitbit Luxe
Fitness trackers have been around for quite some time, but the arrival of the Fitbit Luxe excited me because it looks like something that can blend well with any outfit! The sleek, chic design is just the start of this product's wonders. The gorjana jewelry for Fitbit Special Edition lets your style standout in a gold stainless steel Parker Link Bracelet. It also features Active Zone Minutes which helps every minute count during workouts by buzzing on your wrist when you enter your personalized target heart rate zone. The chic gadget also allows you to manage stress with its in-app Stress Management Score, as well as on-wrist guided breathing sessions. It's a gym and spa break in a fitness tracker! What's more—create better sleep patterns as you view sleep stages each morning, and get tips on how you can improve to bring in more energy into your day!
