Fitbit Alta HR

So it's cool that the Alta now has heart rate sensors, but it's not like this is the most innovative new Fitbit we've seen. So should you buy the Fitb...

There's nothing particularly new or exciting about a Fitbit Alta HR This is literally alter but with a heart rate monitor thrown in for good measure.

but with improved and added functions related to health. I like the nice slim size of it, I’m a woman with not very large hands and I enjoy that the Alta HR (I have it in rose gold with a rose gold metal band) can be worn in more corporate settings/outfits.

This was a bit tough to review. My comparison is mostly with the Apple Watch 1st Gen. Although Fitbit says they are not competing with the Apple Watch, a used first gen Apple watch can be found for under 200 bucks, so yes I believe they are now competing, and in short the Apple watch for the most pa...

The battery life is far better and I found I didn't really need all the smart features. I'm not much of an athlete so I just needed the basic fitness tracking.

It does its job in keeping track of steps taken and reminders to get moving. It also tracks heart rate and miles walked. However, I have tendonitis in my feet so I use the exercise bike at the gym more than anything; unfortunately, the Fitbit Alta HR doesn't recognize that. But it does recognize, as...

I used to have a Fitbit Alta hr and it was a great tracker, not to big on my wrist and it was good at tracking sleep and hr (steps and flights of stairs I feel like that was meh at tracking). After the Alta I bought an Apple Watch which I liked but after awhile I noticed I was getting a rash where the face sits on my wrist, plus the sleep tracking I’d have to log into the app everyday and the battery life was not great. So I’m now looking for a new tracker. I want something small (the charge is to big for my kid sized wrist) The main things I want to track is sleep and heart rate.

I've been looking to get a fitness tracker for a while to help keep track of my day-to-day and wellness. And I wanted a tracker that wasn't oversized for my wrists and wasn't hundreds of dollars either. In that respect the Alta HR succeeds very well. And the Alta HR itself does a good job of recordi...

My Fitbit Alta HR is still kicking at almost 5 years! It’s recently started to randomly turn off though lol I think it’s near the end.

Overall - I got it for $50 on a black friday sale and it was money well spent. It has its flaws but I still use it daily. Sleep - 5 stars - I primarily enjoy using this for sleeping. I love its sleep tracking. I suppose I can't comment on how "accurate" it is but I do tend to feel when I've had a go...
