Let's face it, the world of fitness trackers has sort of plateaued . Most people who want a fitness tracker already have one, and more than a few of us have old trackers shoved away in a drawer, useless because the charging cable mysteriously disappeared, or because the company who made it decided...

The Fitbit Alta HR is not the most advanced fitness tracker around. It is not the most functional fitness tracker around but what it does it does well. It is designed to be the fitness tracker for the average person who wants the tracker to be subtle and blend into their everyday fashion, and it...

With the growing number of fitness trackers in the market, Fitbit's latest offering is a commendable wearable due to its size and number of features. It does lack GPS but Fitbit has a different tracker for that.

Slim and light; Includes heart rate sensor; Long battery life; Amazing companion app

The Fitbit Alta is one of the best fitness trackers for all-day use. It's slim and lightweight, and the touchscreen is easy to read. It was also one of the most accurate fitness trackers during our tests.

The Alta has smartwatch and fitness features packed into its small design; which makes it more conducive to hardcore exercise than a heavier watch

The battery only lasts for about five days; To extend the battery life, you have to turn off helpful features like Bluetooth and notifications

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.

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...

Heart rate tracking; Sleep Insights; Looks

Price; Not water resistant

Some of us aren't good at motivating ourselves to exercise. Sometimes you get home after a long day at work, and there seems nothing better than popping something frozen into the oven and crawling into bed.

Without a doubt, the Alta is Fitbit's most attractive product to date.

Great design; Affordable price; Perfect feature set

Software could be better; No heart rate monitor

Small, unassuming and packed with an active heart rate scanner, FitBit's Alta HR is a great choice for people looking for a more accurate read at their daily activities . Sure it's a bit pricier than the offerings of other models, but it offers more than just basic step counting and sleep tracking.
