Does it display exact step count? null

The alta will display the exact count up until 1,000 steps. After that, it will show it in a decimal form such as 1.3K. If it's paired with your phone, the app will display the exact count.

I have monitored the steps by walking and looking at the app and the device at the same time. From what I can see it appears to be very accurate.

Yes. It will give you a number of steps count on the display of the band. You can tap the band to go thought different screens with different info on them.

Sometimes I think it's a little off and misses steps throughout my day.

I'm not sure how to answer this. The value displayed is dependent on the display you choose (2,143 steps displays as 2,1,43 in horizontal displays and as 2.1K steps in vertical displays). If you're asking whether the tracker accurately counts your steps, I can't say. I see it count some arm movements as steps when I'm sitting, but my daily counts don't seem wildly out of line with other trackers or pedometers I have used. In any case, so long as you are tracking apples to apples (FitBit to Fitbit) you can see your relative activity levels without worrying if it's an "exact" count.

Yes has the step counter, but no stairs counter.

Yes, it will track your number of steps.
