Should I buy a Luxe or a Sense 2? I have a Charge 4 (about to hit the self destruct time frame) and it is pretty accurate for resting HR and sitting around HR. I wear a chest strap when I exercise so I don't care about exercise HR. I have tried several recent models of Fitbits and a Samsung smart watch from Amazon and all of them had big problems measuring my sitting around HR. Numbers jumped around from 60 to 120 while I did nothing at all. I have skinny wrists and no tattoos. What I don't know is whether it's my problem, Fitbit's problem or Amazon is selling returned non working fitbits. Can anyone advise? Thanks

@dancer82 I love my luxe it’s better than the charge 5 (I have both but wear the luxe 95% of the time)

I've been wearing my Luxe since December last year and don't know where I'd be without it. I wanted something small but useful. I don't need a large face if I can see everything in the app on my phone which syncs automatically. I have a heart condition and frequently check my HR on my watch or app. I do have Premium though so I am able to get pretty extensive stats. It even detects and records when I go into A-fib and provides a report for each event, right down to the millisecond! (This actually impressed my cardiologist.) When checking your HR there will be some variability, especially if you move around or talk while you're checking. Sit still and allow a few minutes for your heart rate to stabilize. If you're still finding that your HR is jumping around on the app, the first thing I'd do is check your pulse yourself to see if it is steady with no skipped or delayed beats. I'd also check your BP/HR if you have a machine at home. If not, your local pharmacy should have one. So first things first, make sure you are ok. Good luck 😊🤞
