For a non-heart rate activity monitor, the Fitbit Alta is great. Sleek and slim design allows you to do normal everyday activities without a cumbersome device on your wrist. Battery has lasted me between 7-9 days dependent on how much I have used or synced it while Bluetooth has continuously been one. I really love the Fitbit app over the Garmin app for nutrition and calorie counting. I haven't found anything yet that I can't get to the calorie counter to find with ease. Fits my very small wrist well with no issues. I have worn it in the shower with no issues either. The only con I can immediately recall is that when I'm outside and have my polarized sunglasses on, I can't read the screen to see the time, etc. I use the Alta for calorie counter, steps, distance, active minutes, sleep tracking, and exercise. I am highly satisfied with my decision to switch from the Garmin Vivosmart to the Fitbit Alta for the way that I use the device.

Love my Alta's sleek jewelry-like design. Is looks great everyday or dress up! Change bands for even classer look. Functions great for steps, shows distance walked and other activities. Acts like a watch wth date and time. Customize the display,information, and activities. Set alarms. Alta cheers you on and sends you reminders. Shows incoming calls and texts. Only regret is it doesnt show heart rate. An awesome buy and affordable.

The Fitbit Alta is slim lined and available in many stylish colors. It lets you track steps, sleep patterns and miles. I like being able to see the display with just a turn of the wrist. It does not read heart rate or number of flights of stairs, But I do like the hourly notices to get up and move and the multiple silent alarms that can be set. Warning! Using your new all to fit that can be addictive! Syncing cell phone and fit bit to be able to see texts and who is calling is also a neat feature

Handy device to track my steps/miles each day. It also tracks how I sleep at night...which actually is quite interesting in that it shows how restless my sleep actually is. I also get weekly updates on my IPhone to show my total steps/miles from week to week. A good incentive.

I love it. This is my first venture into activity tracking and I'm hooked. I love the sleek design, I have a small wrist so it fits perfectly along with my watch on same wrist. I love the reminder to move, step count and the synchronization to my phone. I've joined challenges and it's amazing. I'm so aware of my steps and I'm on the road to being healthier.
