Fitbit Alta HR review: Compromising features for a slim profile and 7-day battery life
There's little denying that the Fitbit Alta HR is a reiterative product. It looks very similar to the regular Alta and a bit like a smaller Charge 2, but it sits somewhere between the two in terms of features.
Pros:
- Size It's small enough that it can almost go unnoticed
- This isn't a Flex 2, sure, but it's less prominent than the Charge 2 and won't look weird if you wear a watch or smartwatch on your other wrist, Continuous HR monitoring The highlight feature of the Alta HR - it's in the name after all - is a...
Cons:
- No altimeter I don't use it often, but the option to see how many floors you've climbed is essential for many
- Even the Fitbit One had an altimeter so why Fitbit keeps omitting it in some models is beyond me, No "Multi-sport It means you can't manually start an exercise from your Alta HR like you...

Doesn't sync with Windows 10 devices without dongl
I bought this as a simple tracker that could sync with my phone and maybe show me some notifications. However, the tracker doesn't sync with any Windows 10 device over Bluetooth - you have to use the included dongle. This means it won't sync with a Windows 10 phone if you have one.

Great step tracker
Great to use for tracking my steps a d exercise. Didn't like the band. Purchased watch band buckle type straps to feel more secure and not lose it.

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.

Fitbit Alta review: High praise for low-level fitness tracking

Pros:
- Best Fitbit design to date
- excellent 5-day battery life
- comfortable to wear
- nice display
- notifications
- accurate step-tracking
- fantastic app platform
Cons:
- No heart-rate monitoring
- no altimeter
- no waterproofing
- inaccurate distance-tracking
- display not always super responsive nor visible in bright light

Love it!
This is my 3rd upgrade in two years. I started with the Flex, then got the Charge, and finally this. This was much sleeker, and imho, more stylish. I liked that you can change the bands as the Charge was a fixed band. I am debating the bracelet band once it comes out.

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...

I really like this fitbit. It's relatively discreet so it's not bulky and I like how slim it is.The features are great and are really helpful when synced with the app on your phone.

Fitbit Alta review: My favorite Fitbit by far
Fitbit's lineup of activity-tracking bands runs the gamut, from the totally basic US$60 Zip to the powerful cardio companion, the US$250 Surge. The new Fitbit Alta is a sleeker, more stylish fitness band than the company has attempted before, and with its launch, the wearables market leader has hit...
