Customers regard the Alta Activity Tracker (Large) favorably for its sleep tracking, ease of use, and comfortable size. Many appreciate the long battery life and stylish design, along with features like step tracking and notifications. However, some users wish for a heart rate monitor and improved water resistance. A few also noted challenges with the clasp mechanism.
We have bought a lot of Fitbits. My 9-year-old daughter's needed to be replaced, so we got her this one. It works great. She is able to set her step goal and watch herself achieve it over the course of the day. When she is a little short of it, she takes an extra walk, so it is helping her move more. The only thing we don't like about it is the lack of a buckle on the wristband. Snapping it closed is a little tricky, and it is not as secure. Also, the band did start discoloring a little on the edges shortly after we got it. Be aware this model does not have a heart rate monitor, which was fine for our daughter. I myself have the Alta HR, which has the heart rate monitor and a buckle on the wristband.

Amazing fit but I love how you can see who's texting and calling you! I'd recommend it to everyone! It monitored my steps and never realized how many steps I take a day!

I bought this for my daughter and she wears it all the time. She loves to get the notifications and compete with others in their total steps. It keeps her active and reminds her when to get moving again. She wears it playing soccer and running and has no issues from wear and tear. The battery lasts about 6 or 7 days which is amazing because I have the charge HR which will last about 4 days if I turn off the Bluetooth on my phone. I like her having the Alta because it helps us monitor her sleep patterns and how well she sleeps. Fun and useful.
