Battery life emerges as the weakest aspect among buyers, consistent with the challenge of daily charging mentioned in reviews.

In their words

It is gorgeous and versatile. It lives up to my expectation in terms of its looks and its functionality. It was super easy from unboxing to setting-up. The commands/prompts are very straightforward. It really gives me a glimpse of how I am taking care of myself in a day-to-day basis. It truly serves its purpose.

NRuss · verified purchase · harveynorman.com.au

The Fitbit Luxe is the slimmest model with the options I wanted such as heart rate, steps, hours of sleep and quality of it. The band fits ok but it would be nice if the top end of the band (side without holes) was a little shorter because the watch wants to turn upward when buckled. I don’t think this would be an issue if you had a medium to large wrist.
