I really like wearing real watches, but I still want to pay attention to health and activity, so I’ve been wearing a Fitbit luxe on my other wrist.
It’s been fine so far, battery life is good, seems to be reliable.
However, what drives me nuts on this thing is that I distinctly DON’T want it to be a watch, I just want the stats on the face, and there is absolutely no option for the watch face that doesn’t include a huge current time on the front.
I wish there was a device with this exact form factor, but was just programmable. Call it OpenFit or something.
- equalsione 4y agoFitbit does have it's own SDK, that you can use to write both apps and watch faces. In theory you could create a watch face that met your needs. The SDK is pure JavaScript and seems friendly enough (I only got a few examples working and lost interest) - https://dev.fitbit.com/build/tutorials/examples/ https://dev.fitbit.com/build/tutorials/examples/ I don't know if the SDK can target the luxe BTW
- dchuk 4y agoyeah unfortunately it seems to only be available for their larger devices, which is a bummer because the way I'm using mine, I intentionally want it to not look like a watch but instead more like a bracelet so I don't look like some weirdo wearing two watches :)
