A basic fitness tracker that looks good, but doesn't really do much to stand out

Great app; Automatically tracks workouts; Week long battery

No heart-rate monitor; Annoying charger; Not waterproof; Screen not overly responsive

Will Alta your perception of cheap fitness trackers? No. But it's a sleek, attractive fitness tracker that works well. Also, your friends probably have a Fitbit as well, so you can compete against them in "fun" fitness leaderboards. You really can't go wrong with a Fitbit, is what we're saying.

More attractive design options; Leading ecosystem; Excellent app

Not for serious athletes; Screen slightly laggy; Still quite thick

Fitbit's Alta fitness wristband looks to the lower-end of the market, with a sleek and user-friendly device.

I've had the Fitbit Alta for about a month now. I love it! I love knowing how many steps I've taken and it is always a challenge to be better than the day before. When I was shopping around for a Fitbit, I was debating getting the Alta or the Blaze.

This is my 3rd upgrade in two years. I started with the Flex, then got the Charge, and finally this. This was much sleeker, and imho, more stylish. I liked that you can change the bands as the Charge was a fixed band. I am debating the bracelet band once it comes out.
