It's small enough that it can almost go unnoticed. This isn't a Flex 2

The editors didn't like
No connected GPS
Not easy to see heart rate during a workout (unless heart rate is your default screen)
Nighttime heart-rate data and Sleep Stages separated on two different graphs
I don't use it often
But the option to see how many floors you've climbed is essential for many. Even the Fitbit One had an altimeter so why Fitbit keeps omitting it in some models is beyond me
It means you can't manually start an exercise from your Alt
Expensive
Lacking a few nice-to-have features
Not water resistant
Sensors can be tricked
Lack of built-in or smartphone-connected GPS
Screen taps take a while before getting recognized
No GPS
The silent alarm is too timid to reliably wake you up
Sleep insights are a bore
No GPS tracking or waterproofing
Runners and swimmers are out of luck
More dependent on app than other Fitbit device
Exact step count doesn't show on displa
Need to tap multiple times or harder than expected
No control over tracking exercises
No GPS for accurate distances
Tap-sensitive display is annoying
It isn't water-resistant
And notifications can be difficult to read. You can't manually start workouts. Automatic exercise tracking and no buttons means no on-band controls
Slim and stylish design, comfortable to wear, interchangeable straps, heart rate tracking, accurate activity tracking, great sleep tracking, good week-long battery life, great app platform
Not much cheaper than more capable Charge 2, lacks a few features like Guided Breathing, no option to start a workout from device, no waterproofing, no altimeter
The Alta is by far the most stylish Fitbit thanks to its slim body and interchangeable straps. Add heart-rate tracking and improved sleep tracking and the Alta HR steps things up to a notable degree.Fitbit hasn't added waterproofing or elevation data to t...

All-in-all, the Fitbit Alta HR is typical Fitbit. It's competent, easy to use and understand. It tracks the things casual fitness fans need, will help them keep on top of their daily activity, and understand more about when to do more and how to get healt...
Attractive and sleek design, Sleep Stages information is useful, Comfortable, Long battery life
Basic exercise tracking, No Connected GPS, Slightly unresponsive display
Fitbit Alta HR – Battery Life and Charging One positive to come from the reduced refresh rate of the heart rate monitor is that the Fitbit Alta HR can last close to seven days on a single charge. The Charge 2, on the other hand, tends to last closer to fi...
Slim, sleek, and unobtrusive design, Precise heart-rate tracking, Impressive activity recognition, Useful sleep-tracking data
Dim, finicky screen, Not waterproof, No manual fitness profiles or relaxation features
Yes. If you're a casual athlete looking for a no-frills, stylish way to track your sleep and daily activity — and don't care about GPS — the Alta HR is one of the cheapest and slimmest fitness trackers with a heart rate sensor, and benefits from Fitbit's...
The tracker itself can be popped out and inserted into optional leather or metal bangles that make the activity tracker look much more like jewellery, If you've taken under 250 steps in an hour, the tracker will remind you to get up and start being active
Can't be used when swimming, The food database for calories consumed is American by default, so you need to head into advanced settings and change it to the UK you can scan barcodes but we found some more popular items, like chocolate biscuits, weren't li
If you're looking for a discreet activity tracker that's still got a heart rate sensor and a screen large enough to see the steps and distance you travel each day, the Fitbit Alta HR is the ideal buy! Simple to set up and use, there are some great added f...
Heart rate sensor not up to intense workouts, No breathing training, Screen a tad unresponsive, Poor notifications
The Fitbit Alta HR is a return to the company's strongest suit, with a focus on sleep, wellbeing and heart health rather than all-out fitness. The improved sleep stats are a big step forward, although will require time and perseverance to really kick in w...

The Alta HR has a slim and stylish design with 7-day battery life, and all-day fitness and heart rate tracking
It isn't water-resistant, and notifications can be difficult to read. You can't manually start workouts. Automatic exercise tracking and no buttons means no on-band controls
Long battery life and stylish design combined with improving app software make the Alta HR the best all-around fitness tracker for most people...
Exercise auto-tracking is excellent, Heart-rate tracking adds depth to stats, Sleep tracking has promise, Small and discrete
Not water-resistant, Screen can be unresponsive, Lacks an altimeter and guided breathing
For health-tracking newbies who want a subtle band that doesn't look too much like a watch, the Alta HR is shaping up to be a very solid option. It's not quite as handsome as Jawbone's or Misfit's offerings. And it's not as suitable for all-out sports tr...
The sleek Fitbit Alta is Fitbit's most stylish tracker to date. It lacks an altimeter for stair climbing, but the new Alta HR adds a heart-rate monitor. Both offer the core Steps, Distance, Calories and Sleep measurements, and automatic exercise recogniti...
No, it's not perfect, but nothing is. Some niggles with step counting, or the display not being visible while I wore sunglasses aside, this is a fabulous wearable that could just make you into a better human being.8...
