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

“Recovery is part of the race”, fellow triathletes tell me. I'm glad that Fitbit, in making the Alta HR, shares this perspective. With the Alta HR, sleep gets its fair share of the activity being tracked. How Fitbit was able to pack this kind of always-on...

Small, unassuming and packed with an active heart rate scanner, FitBit's Alta HR is a great choice for people looking for a more accurate read at their daily activities. Sure it's a bit pricier than the offerings of other models, but it offers more than j...
