Fitbit - Alta HR Activity Tracker + Heart Rate (Small) - Black

I absolutely love my Alta Hr, I have a hard time trying to find a smart tracker to fit my tiny wrist and its perfect and very comfortable and tracks everything that I want. The battery life last forever, i'm going on 5 days now and i'm at half the battery life . I had the charge 2 for a week and it hurt my wrist and was uncomfortable to me, everyone is different the choose is yours. I'm in love with my Alta Hr.

Before reviewing this product, I did tons of research on youtube, and talked to friends about the fitbit alta, and the hr. I was originally thinking of buying the fitbit alta because of the cheaper price. On, the fitbit alta hr it has a heart rate monitor which is not on the original alta. That is 20 dollars more. At, first I thought it was pretty useless, but the salesman at the store was very helpful. In, my opinion, the fitbit alta hr is the way to go. Features: steps,heart rate, miles traveled, calories burned and sleep. Set up: Very easy on my computer Clip charger: I was going on vacation and felt that putting the charge into my laptop was really inconvenient. So, I took my apple usb charger and put the fitbit alta hr usb charger end into there. Then, plugged it in. The results were impressive. Battery life/ charging: Battery lasts 4-5 days. Charge 3,4,5 hours. (*I highly recommend going to the store. At best buy, the customer service was helpful. ) Finally, you may ask, why get this if the fitbit alta is the same except for the heart rate monitor? WELL! The fit bit alta has a weird 2 clips band that is not stable. It could end up falling off! The hr has a traditional watch clasp which is way more sucre. Also, knowing your heart beat is pretty darn cool. ___________________________________________________________ WORKOUTS: For an average workout, I think this was very helpful. It's light and not bulky like the charge 2. It's simple, and not complex. The only down side is this is not waterproof. So, don't take this swimming, or showering! I hope this review helped you form an opinion, but both the alta and the hr are great devices. Also, If this helpful you, check the box below! Thanks for your time!

I was a bit apprehensive about buying this product as I saw comments that it was hard to tap and switch between the different on screen options but overall I have had no issues tapping. I think the key is to tap under the screen and not on the screen ( I maybe wrong but it works for me). Happy with this purchase.

I've owned the Charge HR and the Alta. I loved the look of Alta but missed the HR feature. I'm so glad they brought HR to Alta! The new clasp is a big improvement. I bought the gray. It's a nice nuetral alternative to black.

I left a review the day I got it complaining that the heart rate monitor is broken. But Best Buy apparently doesn't let you edit reviews, so I have to give this 5 stars on a second account to balance out the 2 stars I have before. I give it a 3 for anyone super concerned with heart rate accuracy and a 4 for anyone else. It does seem to help if you move it up your wrist, keep it tight, and if you wait a bit before trusting the reading it's giving you. The tracking may not be as accurate as the Charge 2 or Apple Watch, but it's manageable.

I was really looking forward to getting the Fitbit Alta HR and at first thought it was great, but after a few weeks I noticed I was hitting my step numbers while sitting. My heart rate was 85 - 95 while sitting as well, which was about 20 beats too high. When working out or running it was way under. Only around 110 when I could easily count 150 on my own. You have to stand still and sometimes it updates to a more accurate reading (after about a minute) but not ideal to keep stopping while working out. Ironically the more active you are, the less accurate it is. Tried tightening but that just caused irritation...and the same inaccurate reading. I don't usually write reviews but given the level of disappointment in the main feature (HR monitor) and the inability to comment directly to Fitbit, I feel I should warn others that if they want an accurate heart rate monitor, this isn't it.

This has been my favorite activity tracker yet. I had a Garmin which I threw away and got the charge HR a year ago now I upgraded and it is as light and comfortable to wear to sleep. The sleep stages and HR information is very cool and gives you tips on how to make it even better. To the people who wrote bad reviews after the software update Fitbit did this product is flawless 7 days of battery and HR never gave me an issue. Definitly recommend this for comfort and stylish

I refused to listen to all the other reviewers thinking they had something against fitbits in general, and bought this the first day it was officially released. What a mistake that was. Constantly freezing, requires a hard tap, heart rate sensor just throws wild numbers out there. Returning tomorrow and going to get the blaze instead, this thing was a major disappointment. I usually never write negative reviews but I definitely feel the need that this item needed one.
