Fitbit Alta Hr
Love the way it was made so you can change the wristband easily and change it to a different color wristband. The charger cord is unique with a clip to keep the charger attached to the fitbit so it can charge. I love all the options on it like if you want the time vertical or horizontal. You tap it to see the time, heart rate, steps, calories burned, miles, and active minutes.

Misleading - NOT a Fitbit Alta HR
The description for this Fitbit is totally misleading. It is NOT a Fitbit Alta HR as stated, it is just a Fitbit Alta I wasted time ordering this and waiting for it to arrive only for it to be the wrong item. Please amend the title/description so that others are not misled also and waste their time and money.

    NOT A FITBIT ALTA "HR"
    I like the Fitbit and have always used one for the last 8 years but the advertisement for this one is wrong. It says that it is a Fitbit Alta HR and it is not. It does not measure your heart rate at all......It is merely a Fitbit Alta with NO "HR".

    FitBit not Compatible to some phones
    The Fitbit was for a gift. She loved the fitbit; was able to get it going and download everything she needed with ease. It was very user friendly. After 12 hours, it would not sync. She has found out her phone is not compatible. check the compatibility listing if buying. My daughter has used her notebook as it has Windows 10 and that is compatible. She has not taken it off since Christmas morning.

    A Good Way to Keep Moving
    I have had this FitBit for only two weeks, but I have already lost 1.8 pounds! I am not doing the diet part of the app. I am just moving more. My favorite feature is that it reminds you to get up and move 250 steps an hour. That simple buzz has increased my step count by an average of 1500 steps a day. I am pretty average in the amount of exercise I do a day, but I have already noticed that I think about moving more. You can set your own goals, whether steps, weight loss, miles, calories, or others. It hasn't been as hard as I first thought it might be, mainly because the band itself gives you so much encouragement. It does celebratory buzzes and graphics when you reach your hourly goal and when you reach your daily goal. Plus the app has an easy to understand dashboard that also celebrates as you get to each of your daily goals. Another feature I like is that it tracks your sleep pattern. It tells you not only how much you sleep, but whether it was REM, light, or deep sleep. It also tracks your heart rate over the day, not only so you know if your exercise is vigorous enough to be cardio, but also things like resting rate and accurate calorie burn. A couple of things to be aware of. When you first get it, CHARGE it before you try to download the app. I did it the other way and it was quite a hassle. Also it does need to be charged about every five days to a week, unless you always charge it while taking your morning shower. I try to charge it while I am neither active nor asleep - such as when watching television. At first I had a hard time getting the band to the right tightness. I made it too tight because I was concerned that if it wasn't snug the heart monitor could not read very well. It is like a rubber band and made my hand tingle. But adjusted to a looser (not snug at all) fit, it still works just fine and I notice it as little as I would a bracelet or watch.

    Improvement on Charge HR Except for One Feature
    About a year ago I purchased the Fitbit Charge HR wristband tracker. I enjoyed it very much, but thought I'd give this streamlined version a try too, the Fitbit Alta HR. My original Fitbit has been very helpful to me as I work on losing weight and practicing a regular fitness routine. For the most part I like the Alta HR better than the Charge HR. I like that the band is thinner, and you can replace the strap with other straps (purchased separately), changing up the color and/or material. My Charge HR strap was not replaceable, which proved to be a problem over time, as the strap would begin to deteriorate and separate from the product. I like that I have the freedom to replace the Alta HR's strap. The display on the Alta HR seems to be a bit more advanced than the Charge HR. I've enjoyed using the “remind to move” feature, where the Alta HR will vibrate at 10 minutes before the hour if I haven't been active enough. If I haven't covered 250 steps in that hour, it will inform me how far I've got to walk to achieve that goal within 10 minutes. When I do cross that line, it gives me a congratulatory message. One thing that I've really enjoyed with the Fitbit products is the ability to track my workout energy expenditure. The Fitbit can track my steps taken, my heart rate and calories burned (which is customized based on my personal body stats). If I've had a really tough workout, but the Fitbit tells me that I've burned 500 calories, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. One drawback to the Fitbit Alta HR is the lack of a workout button. On the Charge HR wristband, I could press and hold a workout button, and it would begin to specifically track my stats during that period of time. When the workout was over, I'd press the button again. I would know down to the second what my body was doing during that period. Yes, the Fitbit does track the same information over the course of the entire day, but it's interesting to see what's going on during a specified period of time. With the Fitbit Alta HR, there is no button, and the Alta merely “senses” when you've started your workout, and decides when you've stopped. The problem with this feature is that I want to be the one to decide when my workout begins and ends. For example, some workouts that I do might be pilates-based, and at the beginning of the routine, there might actually be very little movement or increased heart rate. According to my Fitbit Alta HR, the workout hasn't begun. On the other end of the spectrum, sometimes when I finish a heavy cardio routine, my heartrate might be slightly elevated for several minutes after the workout. Technically the workout is “over”, but my body doesn't know that. While this is helpful in my weight-loss efforts, it annoys the critical part of my brain that wants to look at a specified period of time. I actually contacted the Fitbit company about this issue, hoping that they would have a work-around. Unfortunately, they do not at this time. They stated that they would pass my concern on to their engineers, so perhaps they will be able to employ a solution through product improvement, or perhaps through their smartphone app. Overall I do like my Fitbit Alta HR. In general I find it to be an improvement on my Fitbit Charge HR. My main reservation is the lack of a specific, controllable workout tracking function.

    AMAZING HEALTH TECH!
    Getting fit has never been so accountable. The Fitbit Alta logs in all types of incredible data, but, before I get into that, I want to make mention of the box within the box that holds the Fitbit Alta. It was a struggle getting the initial box off. I'd to tear it off as it was snug. The box inside of that one held the Fitbit. It's streamlined & attractive, but, it took a few moments to figure out that the side panel flips back to reveal the product which is enclosed. The charging cord is way too short & the instructions, a tiny piece of paper with even tinier writing wasn't very helpful. I had to look on Youtube to find out how to learn to use the Fitbit & all of it's immersive functionality. What's more, there are some connectivity issues with regards to my laptop & tablet with functionality. Hence the four out of five star rating. What I find, absolutely, fascinating about this product is your personal accountability. You log in how many glasses of water you'd drank & the foods, snacks & meals you consumed during the day & it matches the calories for intake for the day against the total output of calories during the day. It challenges & also changes the choices you make, especially, when you see how many calories you're ingesting or the fat content. This is a fascinating must have experience.

    Fitbit Alta HR
    This is one of the latest exercise and fitness devices on the market. The Fitbit Alta HR provides many functions to monitor during certain hours or all day if you so choose. Here are some of those functions: heart rate, sleep quality, distance traveled or steps taken, calories burnt, time of exercise. These are but a few to select from. The watch bands come in several sizes and you can buy extra ones with different color and style. The Fitbit Alta HR comes with a charger attachment which can be used with your computer or other universal charging device The Fitbit Alta HR keeps track of the charge. You can also request with the Fitbit App other reminders to keep you motivated and check on your goals and progress. You can SYNC wirelessly with IOS, Android & Windows Mac & PC computers along with you smart phone systems. Initially I had some difficulties setting up the device and SYNC with my Android smart phone. I believe this was because the device needed to be charged first before trying to set up. You don't have to be a computer geek to set it up and there are lots of "how to" videos on YouTube to help. I have been enjoying this little device but need to remind you as stated on the box "Not intended to provide medical or scientific data." One of the things which I continue to have problems is activating my Fitbit.....you can do this either with turning your wrist or tapping it twice. I guess I need to be a little more forceful???? Also, I wish the various readouts would display for a longer period of time. I have been wearing this for about 2 weeks now and perhaps there is a adjustment I can do to correct this. Reminder, it is water resistant but not water proof so take it off for swimming or taking a shower. Good Health to You!

    never ending applications
    The Fitbit Alta HR Heart Rate Wristband is so much more than I thought it would be. It has so many useful and helpful functions, some of which I have not had the pleasure of trying as yet. It monitors my quality of sleep, is an alarm clock, clock, heartbeat monitor, count my steps, notifies me when I get a text message, or a phone call, the list just goes on and on. The only small setback is, it is not waterproof, so I have to be careful to remember to remove it when showering or washing dishes. Too bad it won't warn you when you are about to get it wet. I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to keep track of their daily healthy movements and actions.
