Interchangeable straps
Heart rate tracking
Accurate activity tracking
Great sleep tracking
Good week-long battery life

This tracker struts a gorgeous look. I really dig the angular shapes found on the module and the swappable bands can help you stand out from a crowd of joggers
Battery life is important to me
And I'm glad that Fitbit is among the small list of companies
Stellar battery life
Movement reminders are useful
Sleek design
Lightweight
Comfortable to wear day and night
Striking design
Customizable
Platform agnostic
Week
Long battery life
The Fitbit Alta is a stylish fitness tracker with swappable bands
Basic phone notifications and week-long battery life. The new "Move" alerts bring something new. Fitbit's software is still one of our favorites
And has the largest social base as well
More attractive design options
Leading ecosystem
Excellent app
Genuinely motivating step reminders
Accurate sleep-monitoring
Excellently connected app
Grown-up form factor
Best Fitbit design to date
Excellent 5-day battery life
Nice display
Notifications
Accurate step-tracking
Fantastic app platform
Great app
Automatically tracks workouts
Week long battery
Can change the strap to a leather or metal bangle that makes the activity tracker look much more like jewellery
Reminder to move alerts if you've taken less than 250 steps in a hour so you get up and start being active
Notifies you of text messages
Cal
The editors didn't like
Not much cheaper than more capable Charge 2
Lacks a few features like Guided Breathing
No option to start a workout from device
No waterproofing
No altimeter
The Fitbit Alta wins big as a reliable tracker of fitness-related tasks
But the inclusion of a touchscreen seems pointless. The touch gestures (tap twice to power on
Once again to turn a page) rarely work as advertised and there's really no depth or uni
Module isn't very responsive to taps
Overly sensitive step tracker
No heart rate monitoring
No GPS
Not waterproof
Non
Responsive touchscreen
Pretty limited offering overall
There's no heart-rate sensor
And it can't be worn in the shower. The tracker is expensive for what it can do and so are the accessory straps. The display is difficult to see outdoors and is susceptible to scratches
And notifications are hard to read
Not for serious athletes
Screen slightly laggy
Still quite thick
No heart rate monitor
Screen collects scratches
No heart-rate monitoring
Inaccurate distance-tracking
Display not always super responsive nor visible in bright light
No heart-rate monitor
Annoying charger
Screen not overly responsive
Expensive if you invest in the metal bangle as well as the tracker itself
The food database for calories consumed is USbased by default
So you need to head into advanced settings and change it to UK you can scan barcodes but we found some more popular i

Abstract: One of the main problems start doing sport is motivation. You have to go running, but… it is so good at home lying on the couch! Fitbit, a company dedicated to the development of sports technology products, just bring out a new custom bracelet, whose mai...
Touchscreen is finicky, no heart rate monitoring, limited features
The Fitbit Alta is a good fitness tracker, but could very easily be supplanted by newer models that are rapidly becoming available. This model's main merits are its smaller size and slightly less expensive price, but at the cost of a few features...

The Alta is one of the best fitness bands around for the average person. If you're training for a marathon, it's probably not the best pick, but it's a solid, well-made device that automatically tracks your workouts, steps, and sleep without any work on y...
Comfortable design with small dimensions and light weight, Durable and relatively fast charging battery, Convenient Fitbit app, displaying detailed info and statistics about your activity, Notifications in case of phone calls, texts and events, It tracks
The band requires more effort to be pinned on, Not a very responsive display
The considerable increase in the sales of wearable tech is not by any chance accidental for those who monitor the technological evolution. There are more and more manufacturers who offer a variety of smart watches and bracelets, which makes one's choice t...

In many ways, I feel like the Alta was a product released ‘just to release a product'. Not because it offered a unique selling point other than being a Fitbit branded product that'll sell by the millions. Just like McDonald's sells millions of cheeseburge...
Sleek, modern design, Silicone strap is very comfortable, 5-day battery life, Accurate step and sleep tracking, Affordable price point, Companion app is easy to use
Interchangeable bands are pricey, Silicone band can be difficult to put on, No waterproofing, Charging cable is short and awkward to use
If you're looking for an attractive, affordable fitness tracker that can handle the basics with little to no problems at all, you should consider the Fitbit Alta. Hardcore gym rats should look elsewhere...
