  • Striking design, Customizable, Platform agnostic, Week, long battery life
  • Non, responsive touchscreen, Not waterproof, Pretty limited offering overall
  • Fitbit's Alta has it where it counts, namely the killer week-long battery life, customizable styles, and the solid Fitbit companion app as a backbone. But there are a few frustrating design choices that keep this from being a "must-have."...
