Fitbit Alta HR Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate, 7 Day Battery Life, Compatible with Smartphones, Tablets, Computers

I'm so glad I made this purchase. I initially only bought it because I was curious about the quality of my sleep. The sleep tracker hasn't performed 100%, but I'd grade it a solid 95%. (Examples of problems: One day it said I fell asleep at exactly 5:00 AM, but I know I was asleep well before 4:00. Also, it doesn't always track my naps. It doesn't give detail for naps under 3 hours, and that's fine, but sometimes it doesn't even show that I was asleep Once I also noticed that it said I fell asleep just a few minutes into a program, but I remember watching at least the first 10-15 minutes of the show before I dozed off).I wasn't really interested in counting steps, but the first time I actually got to 10,000 and saw the fireworks on the display, it was really encouraging. At first I found the hourly reminders to move to be annoying and refused to play along, but it's fun to earn a star for the day, so I make the effort to get in my 250 steps nine hours a day.I chose the Alta HR because it was narrow and unobtrusive. I like the style a lot. I couldn't get used to the default time format (vertical), but that's easy to change. I switched to a horizontal format and I like it much better. There are still many features that I haven't used yet and I look forward to discovering them in the coming months.

I've only had this for a couple days so I will update as time goes on. So far so good with this tracker! I've had the Fitbit flex, charge, and charge HR as well as a polar FT7 and M400. The polar watches I like but I felt they were too big for daily use. With the charge and charge HR I again thought they were too big for daily use. The Alta HR so far has been great for all day use since it's slimmer than any other fitness tracker. I like the display and have mine set to show the time and my heart rate. I tested the HR monitor out by wearing my polar H7 chest strap and then comparing the results from the polar h7 chest strap to the Alta hr and they were actually pretty similar. Overall I'm really happy with my Alta hr!Added some pictures. The sleep tracker on this is pretty cool. I like how it tells you which type of sleep you were in and for how long.

The Alta HR is a great step/heartrate/sleep tracker. It's comfortable to wear, and has a nice, if simple, display.Mild warning: you have to have a Bluetooth smartphone or tablet, or a computer with Bluetooth interface. If you don't have a smartphone, you can sync with the Fitbit website, but you still have to have Bluetooth on your computer to get the data from the Alta HR. If your computer doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, there are inexpensive USB adapters that will add Bluetooth functions to your computer.The Fitbit website and the Fitbit apps for Windows 10 and smartphones do a nice job of accumulating your data and displaying it for you, with smart conclusions and recommendations. The device also integrates with other fitness apps like Google Fit and MyFitnessPal. These are the two that I use.The only complaint I have is in the syncing. The device should sync when the Fitbit phone app is launched, but it usually doesn't. I often have to manually trigger the sync two or three times to get it to actually get the data from the Alta. That's an irritation, but not a big deal.On the whole, highly recommended.

As someone who is used jawbone in the past as well as cheap Chinese knockoffs, and bellabeat leaf urban/nature I have to say this so far this is my favorite tracker on the market. Regardless of the fact that it's not waterproof even though somehow the Chinese version I bought got $20 can be waterproof and still have HR.... I still love the fact that the heart rate is accurate in my case I love the look of this piece I love the colors out of the bands all of the options for the bands I love the screen itself yes it's a little difficult to read in direct sunlight but if you just cup your hand over your wrist you'll be able to see its screen just fine. This Fitbit motivates me to get up to move I sync it with my Fitness Pal it does wonders to keep me motivated. I can honestly say that it has played a huge part in my weight-loss Journey. MyFitnessPal app to see my stats with day to be congratulated by the community is part of the reason i choose Fitbit and continues to play a part of the reason I got in the first place. The Chinese knockoffs Chinese versions that I was using didn't have a community aspect and they didnt help by allowing other people help cheer you on and relate to what you're thinking and saying and feeling. I bought mine at a steal of $119 on Valentine's Day I don't know if it would pay the $159 that's offered currently at right now it's a very steep price point I don't know if I might be worth waiting to see if it comes out with something new and even better within the time frame but for right now the Fitbit HR Alta has met most of my needs and then the terrific job of motivating me getting me in sync with my body my health my fitness and definitely show me what's lacking in my life and What needs to improve I couldn't have done that without the this fitbit! :)

I had the Fitbit Flex for a couple of years and then it died. I was satisfied with it until it died. Then I decided to research what was available. I tried the Charge 2 but it hurt my wrist and wasn't comfortable. Tried both the small and large. Was then trying to decide between the Alta or the Apple Watch 2. I really wanted the heart rate feature the most. I finally decided to go with the Alta without the HR and then the Alta HR came out at the same time and I was delighted. I have had it for about a week and I absolutely love it. It is extremely comfortable. The band is softer than the Charge 2 band. The face isn't bright enough to read the details when you are out in the sun. This doesn't bother me one bit because I typically have my iPhone and can turn it on to get the same information. I feel Fitbit really did a nice job this time. It only took five months of investigation and trying things out before I made my final decision.
