The editors didn't like
Nonresponsive touchscreen

There's no heart-rate sensor
And it can't be worn in the shower. The tracker is expensive for what it can do and so are the accessory straps. The display is difficult to see outdoors and is susceptible to scratches

There's no heart-rate sensor, and it can't be worn in the shower. The tracker is expensive for what it can do and so are the accessory straps. The display is difficult to see outdoors and is susceptible to scratches, and notifications are hard to read
While ultimately a more stylish (but heart-rate free) version of the older Charge HR, the Fitbit Alta is a winning fitness tracker with solid style appeal...
Touchscreen is finicky, no heart rate monitoring, limited features
The Fitbit Alta is a good fitness tracker, but could very easily be supplanted by newer models that are rapidly becoming available. This model's main merits are its smaller size and slightly less expensive price, but at the cost of a few features...
Sends hourly movement reminders, Displays smartphone notifications, SmartTrack senses the type of exercise, Sweat and splashproof, Interchangeable wristbands, Easy-to-swipe touchscreen, User-friendly app, Sleek and comfortable fit, Automatic sleep trackin
Hard-to-use strap, Tough to read in sunlight, No heart rate monitor, Relatively short battery life

The Alta is one of the best fitness bands around for the average person. If you're training for a marathon, it's probably not the best pick, but it's a solid, well-made device that automatically tracks your workouts, steps, and sleep without any work on y...
Comfortable design with small dimensions and light weight, Durable and relatively fast charging battery, Convenient Fitbit app, displaying detailed info and statistics about your activity, Notifications in case of phone calls, texts and events, It tracks
The band requires more effort to be pinned on, Not a very responsive display
The considerable increase in the sales of wearable tech is not by any chance accidental for those who monitor the technological evolution. There are more and more manufacturers who offer a variety of smart watches and bracelets, which makes one's choice t...

In many ways, I feel like the Alta was a product released ‘just to release a product'. Not because it offered a unique selling point other than being a Fitbit branded product that'll sell by the millions. Just like McDonald's sells millions of cheeseburge...
Sleek, modern design, Silicone strap is very comfortable, 5-day battery life, Accurate step and sleep tracking, Affordable price point, Companion app is easy to use
Interchangeable bands are pricey, Silicone band can be difficult to put on, No waterproofing, Charging cable is short and awkward to use
If you're looking for an attractive, affordable fitness tracker that can handle the basics with little to no problems at all, you should consider the Fitbit Alta. Hardcore gym rats should look elsewhere...
