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
