I have been wanting to get one of these devices for some time now but was not willing to give up my watches. I found the Fitbit to fit my right arm and not look awkward when wearing my watch on my left arm.

The Fitbit Alta is a mid-range activity tracker for the everyday fitness fan, which is a real winner when it comes to slim, chic looks and a range of fashionable accessories. It tracks the basics (Steps, Distance, Calories and Sleep), plus boasts Caller ID, Text and Calendar notifications, and is cheaper than the more fully featured Fitbits such as the Charge 2, Versa and Ionic. Its higher-end sibling the Alta HR adds a heart-rate monitor if you want to dive deeper into your health, fitness, sleep and weight-loss metrics. But the cheaper Alta is a stylish tracker that will appeal to people who don’t want a giant sports watch on their wrist, or need a huge array of stats in the app.

I have had the Apple Watch from the day it was released and updated it with each new release. I've used it mainly for getting call notifications and fitness capabilities. Few months ago I've decided to switch to something less bulky and more importantly, a tracker that can measure you sleep time and...

I bought this because it was on sale and it is smaller than the charge hr. The charge does a bit more but otherwise they are very similar. If you want a tracker that isn't so obviously a tracker, this is it!

bought for my grandson and he loves it

I ordered this a while back and have been using it for a couple of weeks. It's changing my life. I set a goal for my steps each day and always beat it. I've had trouble sleeping recently and with my Fitbit Alta it helps me track my nights. It's honestly one of the best things I've ever brought!

Had it 5 days, set up ok, synced 3 am that night. Wouldn't sync next day. 1.30pm it said the Bluetooth needed to remember scan, it connected and synced. Hasn't synced since. At the moment I have uninstalled from phone, might try to reinstall again when heart rate has gone down

I have had this fitbit for a month now. I purchased it primarily to get a gleaning of my sleep patterns, such as REM and deep sleep stages. I was pleasantly surprised at the detail provided by the fitbit in this area, particularly the many 'awake' stages occurring during my sleep which might be...

Initially too expensive to recommend, Fitbit's supercharged Alta now represents excellent value for money

Slim; elegant design; 24/7 heart rate monitoring; Impressive battery life

Pricier than the Charge 2 HR; Fewer features than the Charge 2 HR

Great value for money. I bought the Fitbit to monitor my sleep pattern in particular. Aware I wasn't getting the benefit. Over the last few weeks I've noticed an improvement. Maybe it's knowing I need more than 5hrs. In between the awake.
