Does it have a temp sensor like the Charge 4 or Sense? Seems like a big swing and a miss if it does not in the Covid world we live in now.

Hi, @Fitschitts , according to the Fitbit blog, the new Luxe does have a skin temperature sensor:

 

Health Metrics Dashboard. Helping you gain a deeper understanding of your body, the Health Metrics dashboard measures and tracks 5 health metrics including skin temperature variation, breathing rate, resting heart rate, Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) (coming soon to Luxe), and heart rate variability (HRV). After wearing a Fitbit tracker or smartwatch during sleep, you’ll see nightly averages and graphs on the Health Metrics dashboard—important information that can help you uncover trends and changes to your wellbeing.***

Sense, Charge 5, Inspire 2; iOS and Android

Temp sensor on Charge 4 and Sense is not relevant to Covid.  It only measure skin temperature, not internal temperature which is the fever indicator.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
