Great value for money. I bought the Fitbit to monitor my sleep pattern in particular. Aware I wasn't getting the benefit. Over the last few weeks I've noticed an improvement. Maybe it's knowing I need more than 5hrs. In between the awake.

Fitbit Alta HR review: Fitbit's new king of the hill
Long battery life and stylish design combined with improving app software make the Alta HR the best all-around fitness tracker for most people. Guess what: Fitbit's newest tracker is its best one yet. There are a lot of Fitbits to choose from, but after wearing all of them, the Fitbit Alta HR ($194 at Amazon) wins our vote. It has almost all of the same features as the Charge 2 ($170 at Amazon), our old favorite tracker, but in a design that is 25 percent slimmer with better battery life. The Alta HR has continuous heart-rate, basic phone notifications, and after wearing it for weeks it's proven to be a great fitness ($43 at Amazon) companion.
Pros:
- The Alta HR has a slim and stylish design with 7-day battery life
- and all-day fitness and heart rate tracking.
Cons:
- It isn't water-resistant, and notifications can be difficult to read
- You can't manually start workouts
- Automatic exercise tracking and no buttons means no on-band controls.

Tiny – great software, great hardware too!
Super small and light, this is the first device that I'm wearing on my opposite wrist as a pure tracker and not as a watch replacement.I've gone through multiple watch replacement models and I just don't like any of them enough to give up a well-made timepiece.
Pros:
- Tiny
- HR Tracking
- Accurate
Cons:
- Not waterproof
- tap to touch confuses some..

Fitbit Alta HR review
The Alta HR is Fitbit's most stylish heart-rate tracker to date. It lacks an altimeter for stair and hill climbing stats, but its 24/7 heart-rate monitor will help you get fitter, lose weight, and better monitor your sleep.
