 It's a little bit different. Last year's Alta had a series of holes and you kind of snap in to close it and this one was more of a traditional railroad style strap. The good thing about the Fitbit Alta is that it's one of the more attractive fitbit's out there. You can see how people might mistake this for a bracelet, not a clunky activity tracker, which is nice

 So it's cool that the Alta now has heart rate sensors, but it's not like this is the most innovative new Fitbit we've seen. So should you buy the Fitbit Alta HR If you are one of those people who bought the Alta last year and you love that activity tracking wristband and you've said to yourself on a dozen occasions this is great. but I really wish I had heart rate tracking then this is for you. You should be really happy because that position is easy, right? But if you're looking for more tense exercise tracking, you want to stop and start

 On the downside, it's one of the more basic Fitbit I mean attracts your steps and your distance traveled. Your calories burned. It does track sleep, but it's not like the kind of fitness band that you would use if you're going out for an intense exercise. You wanted to, you know, get your duration and your GPS and your Vo2 max

 You also means I wouldn't necessarily trust it when it comes to accuracy if you want to know exactly how many miles you ran. I mean this doesn't have GPS it's just using an accelerometer, so take that with a grain of salt. Some people have also asked me whether or not this would be a good replacement for the charge - which is also $150 and also has heart rate sensors built in and my answer is no I mean this is really meant to be more of a stylish Fitbit kind of a basic Fitbit and the charge to actually does have specific exercise tracking. By the way, this means Fitbit has nearly ten different Fitbit models for sale on its site right now, along with that smart scale that it's still selling and it's all just kind of a repackaging of the same feature sets in the same technology with slight variations on features and price

Fitbit Alta HR review

 Compared to my Apple watch, Its barely there.  The Alta HR is great at auto tracking exercise, including weightlifting. By monitoring your heart rate it will add up any minutes you are exerting yourself and count those toward your exercise goal. Although the weightlifting isnt noted specifically, my cycling, running, and walking are somehow magically tracked and noted

 I had a Pebble watch at one point, and it synced fine with Apple health. Fitbit of course purchased Pebble, so they should have the technology, but they are surely doing this on purpose to keep people in the Fitbit world.  So, in conclusion, I am currently keeping the Alta HR in my pocket to compete in Fitbit challenges but keeping my old clunky Apple watch. I have a feeling that my Fitbit's days are numbered, and if they don't soon provide support for other devices other people will go the same way

This was a bit tough to review.  My comparison is mostly with the Apple Watch 1st Gen. Although Fitbit says they are not competing with the Apple Watch, a used first gen Apple watch can be found for under 200 bucks, so yes I believe they are now competing, and in short the Apple watch for the most part blows the fitbit out of the water, with a few exceptions. Here is what the Fitbit Alta does well and why I'm torn between keeping my old Apple watch versus the Fitbit:  The Fitbit app is great

  So, in conclusion, I am currently keeping the Alta HR in my pocket to compete in Fitbit challenges but keeping my old clunky Apple watch. I have a feeling that my Fitbit's days are numbered, and if they don't soon provide support for other devices other people will go the same way. Why not an Apple watch app or something for the Samsung Gear? I think at this point its about fitbit trying to hang onto every last dollar, unfortunately they dont seem to realize that their gold is in their software and I for one would happily pay a premium for it.

Its ok.

 Yalta HR is comfortable to wear, it doesn't get in the way much, and it's certainly a welcome break from my bulky Beaver active. HR it's visible enough to say hey I track my health, but not ostentatious enough to draw unwanted attention. Battery life is fairly middling, and although it claims it can manage seven days I've found mine tend to start running low at around five. I've seen better from far more feature pack devices, but it's long enough to not to be an issue for most use case scenarios

 I've been challenging my wife with the Weekend Warrior Challenge, which has been a fun way to encourage a few more steps out of a space. Do your fear what you'll get when you mess with the warrior? So the big question is whether or not the typical Thr can improve your health and help you lose weight. The answer that is yes. If you diligently track your calories consumed in calories burn, then make sure to maintain the deficit

 You should see daily weight loss. The heart rate monitor will only help to make that calculation more accurate, and the automatic activity tracking your screen list is personally useful. Less driven users will likewise benefit from the ability to track, run, and monitor their sleep and resting heart rate. as they say that which is monitored improves, That's it

Anyone who is used to want to fit this entry-level fitness trackers before will know exactly what to expect from the fitbit of the HR. Simply put, this is the fitbit alta plus heartrate monitor what that means If you're getting a device, it is great for active users and it will reliably track steps taken, sleep quality, and basic activities. It has one of the best Pat ecosystems out there and a solid design that's comfortable to wear. However, this is not a device meant for serious athletes or even anyone with more than a passing interest in running or other activities such as CrossFit

The battery life is far better and I found I didn't really need all the smart features. I'm not much of an athlete so I just needed the basic fitness tracking.

I prefer fitbit because of the long battery. I’ve only used my apple watch a handful of times because I always forget to charge it. And I never really explored it’s features because it’s always dead. I gave it to my brother and he seems to enjoy it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I still have both. Apple Watch SE and Versa 2. Fitbit is literally a fitness tracker and is more geared towards health. Apple Watch is an extension of your phone. I want to be more into my health so I’ve started wearing my Fitbit again instead of my Apple Watch.

I ordered an Apple Watch SE last month and actually returned it in favor of a Fitbit Inspire 2! 

Things about the Apple Watch I liked: fun watch faces, easy access to Siri/ability to use voice to set timers, music, hand washing timer (a little dumb, but hey), and Apple Pay without getting out my phone. 

Ultimately, though, what I wanted was a fitness and sleep tracker. The Fitbit does that for 1/4 of the price and with the 1-year Premium trial, the sleep tracking is so much better than the watch. Plus, it’s less bulky on my wrist and if I break it, it’s not a tragedy. The Fitbit has also been much better about not tracking my random movements (especially knitting!) as steps than the watch was. I can also get some of my phone notifications on it and it has a vibrating alarm, which I loved on the Apple Watch.

Plus...it was really hard for me personally to justify a $350 phone accessory. Some people love their watches! I was not one of those people. 

Hope that helps!

I just wanted to know which would be the better investment overall. For both fitness tracking and smart watch but mainly as a fitness tracker

Those of you who owned a Fitbit and Apple Watch, which did you prefer and why

It does its job in keeping track of steps taken and reminders to get moving. It also tracks heart rate and miles walked. However, I have tendonitis in my feet so I use the exercise bike at the gym more than anything; unfortunately, the Fitbit Alta HR doesn't recognize that. But it does recognize, as "cardio," when I mow my lawn so I guess that's a bit of a trade off

  The smart phone app is pretty good and the device communicates well with it. One thing I've had trouble with -- and I see others have similar complaints about this particular model, is that it doesn't monitor my sleep correctly. I'm very impressed by the detailed charts and graphs it sends to my phone, but it doesn't start monitoring my sleep until around 3 am or even later. I've set up both my bedtime and wake up times but the Fitbit doesn't start registering anything about my sleep for several hours

I've set up both my bedtime and wake up times but the Fitbit doesn't start registering anything about my sleep for several hours. Clearly, this is a glitch within the device since so many people are reporting similar problems on Fitbit's website.  So, I like it as far as keeping up with my steps (I've set it to the standard 10,000 a day) but the sleep monitoring is a bit disappointing

Helpful but with some glitches

 So I’m now looking for a new tracker. I want something small (the charge is to big for my kid sized wrist) The main things I want to track is sleep and heart rate.

I used to have a Fitbit Alta hr and it was a great tracker, not to big on my wrist and it was good at tracking sleep and hr (steps and flights of stairs I feel like that was meh at tracking). After the Alta I bought an Apple Watch which I liked but after awhile I noticed I was getting a rash where the face sits on my wrist, plus the sleep tracking I’d have to log into the app everyday and the battery life was not great. So I’m now looking for a new tracker. I want something small (the charge is to big for my kid sized wrist) The main things I want to track is sleep and heart rate

 My phone is a Samsung A50, and is not among the listed approved devices that is compatible, however other people who have my phone have reported success in getting their Alta HRs to synchronize their data, so I took the chance. Set up took a few tries and lots of frustration but I got it eventually. For the first two weeks it worked okay. I had All-Day Sync set up, but my device would still have issues syncing, I could eventually get it to sync by tapping the sync button over and over

 So it is being returned and refunded. Again, before buying double-check that your phone is compatible with the FitBit you intend to buy.

 For the first two weeks it worked okay. I had All-Day Sync set up, but my device would still have issues syncing, I could eventually get it to sync by tapping the sync button over and over. Then into the third week I noticed that the Alta HR wasn't syncing at all when I opened the app and saw that it had been over 24 hours since the last sync. I did all the troubleshooting that FitBit's website says to try and it yielded nothing

  I'm beyond disappointed that the Alta HR has failed both means of technology and that the FitBit company does not appear to be making any moves to include more phones among their compatible devices, as the Samsung A50 has been requested to be made compatible by people in their forums for a year now. How it fails to work on a Windows 10 computer when their website says they are compatible also disappoints me.  If you think your phone is compatible, I would still recommend the Alta HR to users, however be prepared for the chance of having issues synchronizing. I really wish it was compatible with my phone, and my computer for that matter, but I'm not going to get a whole new phone/computer just to make my FitBit work

Want to Love It but Lots of Hassle, Returning

Hello! Does anyone have information on how long different Fitbit models are supposed to last? My battery on my sense has started discharging really fast with no change in behavior or app usage. I’ve done the routine troubleshooting (restarts, make sure app and phone are most recent versions, make sure firmware up to date, check any hidden settings that are on) but no change. 

I went from 4-5 days between charges to sometimes 2 days or sometimes 1 day. I’ve had the watch for about 18 months so I know I’m outside of warranty, but I was curious if anyone else had a similar lifespan issue for their battery. Thanks in advance!

Fitbit lifespan info?

  Band - 1 star - The band didn't hold up super well. I guess it's been close to a year, but there is a little plastic brace that hooks onto the fitbit device on top and a little groove on the bottom to lock itself in place. Over time, the brace was strained and slowly got looser and looser, especially when I started to try to wear the band tighter as instructed. Eventually the little plastic brace cracked and then broke

Overall - I got it for $50 on a black friday sale and it was money well spent. It has its flaws but I still use it daily.  Sleep - 5 stars - I primarily enjoy using this for sleeping. I love its sleep tracking

  Exercise - 2.5 star - I think it generally gets heart rate correctly during stationary or near stationary workouts. However, when running, it seems to always shoot right up to 160, even when my neck pulse doesn't feel anywhere close to it. I am afraid the device relies alot on either cadence or some sort of algorithm if it can't sense the pulse properly

  Sleep - 5 stars - I primarily enjoy using this for sleeping. I love its sleep tracking. I suppose I can't comment on how "accurate" it is but I do tend to feel when I've had a good or bad night's rest and the fitbit algorithm usually confirms it based on the data. A bit anecdotal but I like it
