Fitbit Alta HR
Gadgets|June 2017

I am not physically active. I find working out at the gym aimless, and the whole burning calories part makes it feel too much like work. I need motivation to get my mind excited rather than anxious for exercise. Recently, I got my hands on the newly launched Fitbit Alta HR, the updated version of the Alta health and fitness tracker, now with continuous heart rate tracking. Is this the key to giving me that push to take better care of myself?

DESIGN

The Alta HR is designed to be an extremely low profile fitness tracker. It is 25 percent slimmer than the Charge 2. From a personal aesthetic standpoint, I prefer it slim.

The metal pebble fits almost seamlessly to the band to form one solid accessory. No one will be able to tell how the band is attached. The pebble is fitted with a scratch resistant glass face, and while the size of the watch is smaller than most trackers out there, the information is easy to read.

Like other Fitbit trackers, the Alta HR is available for different wrist widths. The band is improved with a buckle and loop locking system which makes it feel more like a watch and keeps the tracker secure around the wrist.

The standard version has a band made of rubber, available in fuchsia, black, or blue grey. A special edition is also available in gunmetal black (the pebble is colored the same), and soft pink (with a rose gold pebble). Leather bands and an all metal bangle are also available separately. Fitbit also announced that it will be working once again with various designers and design houses like Tory Burch and Public School to create even more fashionable options.
