Review: Fitbit Alta HR

No one needs an activity tracker. Sure, you feel a whiff of superiority wagging your wrist and boasting about how much ground you've covered today. But let's not pretend that wearing a wrist computer makes you a better person.
Pros:
  • Prettier than its predecessors with a litany of interchangeable bands
  • Automatically recognizes and logs activity when you're walking, running, or biking
  • Battery lasts a full week between charges
Cons:
  • The silent alarm is too timid to reliably wake you up. Sleep insights are a bore. No GPS tracking or waterproofing
  • runners and swimmers are out of luck

Love my fit bit!

It's small, easy to use, and the battery holds for a great amount of time. I also like how this is a thinner model because you're able to use bracelets on the same arm as the watch.

Have had my Alta for over 1 year and am very pleased with it (less pleased that my first copy ended at the bottom of the ocean after about 1 month ...). It does its job without worrying too much about it. Registers my steps and reminds me when it's time to touch me.

Really like it

I have been wanting to get one of these devices for some time now but was not willing to give up my watches. I found the Fitbit to fit my right arm and not look awkward when wearing my watch on my left arm.

Review: Fitbit Alta HR

Occasionally, a Beckenbauer, Ennis-Hill or Phil Neville will arrive with the combined talents of an entire team. But most of the time, all-rounder means almost.

Fitbit Alta Review: A Skinnier Fitness Tracker

Don't expect to earn too many style points with the $130 Fitbit Alta, and you won't be disappointed. The fitness tracker is good as an everyday accessory for those with smaller wrists, and accurately monitors your activity.
Pros:
  • Slim design with interchangeable bands
  • Accurate
  • automatic sleep tracking
  • Easy-to-use app
Cons:
  • Finicky "touch" screen

Fitbit Alta review

Update : Fitbit has beefed up the sleep-tracking capabilities of its companion app. The new feature, called Sleep Schedule , does much more than just track the amount of time you've slept each night, it learns from your habits and compares them to the anonymously collected data of other Fitbit...

The Fitbit Alta HR is the first product that we've reviewed in a while that does exactly what its marketing material says it does, and holds no surprises beyond that. But is that such a bad thing? The Alta HR looks and feels very familiar to past offerings from the company.
