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

The media could not be loaded. This is my first fitness watch and I love it. I have been looking around for a fitness watch for some time now, I would say at least more than 6 months. If I was going to spend a great amount of money on something I wanted to make sure it was just what I wanted and that I liked it as well as the way it fit. I measured my wrist and i was right at small and large, so I went ahead and went with large, which gives me some 3 more notches to use for it's tightest fit, so the 4th notch fits me perfectly. I suggest if you are just right at the end of a small and beginning of a large measurement, I would recommend going with the large band. I chose the fitbit alta HR because it can still give me my text and call notifications and I was not worried about answering it from my watch or texting back. If my phone is in the other room and I get a call or text, I can see who is calling and read the text on my watch and decided if I want to reply now or later. The functions of the watch are great, easy to use, and scan through right at your wrist where your stats are at. I love that this watch is on the smaller side, it is not bulky at all unlike some watches seem to be. The sleep tracker on it seems to be so accurate and gives you really good details. The app is amazing too, everything is synced with my app on my phone and can read into further detail when I want to. Fitbit also has other apps that it can work with, like MapMyRun.If you found this review helpful, please let me know my selecting helpful at the bottom.

I've had my Fitbit for a few weeks, and I really love it, even more than I thought I would. It really gives me an incentive to work out. I hardly ever worked out before I got it, but being able to set goals for how many days I should be working out a week, and seeing those days go up as I work out is a simple, but almost crazily effective incentive. I've worked out more in the past three weeks than I had probably the whole rest of the year. I love seeing stats about the exercise I've been doing, even if I'm not entirely convinced that the calories are correct, it still gives me something to compare other exercise days to. I love the heartrate fuction, and seeing it rise and fall depending on what kind of exercise you're doing, and my bpm has steadily fallen as I've done more exercise, which is encouraging to see.I do wish that it would count stairs, but I don't really miss it, and it's not a terribly important feature, just a small thing. It counts your steps on the stairs, just not the floors of stairs you walk up, and the steps are really the most important part. One other thing I wish was slightly better is the battery. I feel like I have to charge it every couple of days, even though the package says that it should work for a full week without needing another charge. Either way, it's not a huge problem, just something I think could be improved upon.It looks great, it works well. and it provides a simple incentive to work out more and to make the active choice throughout your day. What more could a person ask for?

I am a bit fan of fit bit products. When my last one died after submerging it in water (whoops), I looked at both the fitbit and the apple watch and decided to go back to fitbit due to battery life and knowing I won't want to charge it daily. I am generally happy with my fitbit alta. I like being able to change the band colors easily. The tracker works pretty well and seems accurate to me. I have had this one for almost a year without any issues. It gives me a lot of information at the touch of a finger. I like having it track my sleep and tell me the quality of my sleep on the app. I like how I can get my text messages and phone calls on it. My one disappointment was my previous fitbit gave me my exact number of steps and this one give me an abbreviated number of steps. For example if I have 1,254 steps, the alta will say 1.2K. I didn't realize that when I bought it. I like how skinny it is, but the downside is that I can't get exact number of steps (you can get that info when you look at the app). Overall I am happy with my purchase.
