this is the Fitbit Alta HR and it's my new favorite fitness tracker and according to Fitbit it's also the world's slimmest fitness tracker with continuous heartrate but despite that sensor the battery will still last seven days which is pretty damn impressive given its small size the Alta HR is also the first Fitbit to get a new sleep feature instead of simply tracking how long you slept it will now measure when you're in light deep and REM sleep cycles but this feature will also be coming to the charge - and blaze later this month now aside from the heart rate sensor this is essentially the same Alta tracker we reviewed a year ago it has swappable bands and contract steps distance calories burned active minutes and sleep it will also display notifications for incoming calls text messages and calendar alerts but like I said with the original Alta the screen is small and these notifications can be hard to read and while the tracker can automatically detect various activities like running and biking you can't manually start a workout like you can on the charge - nor does it have guided breathing sessions but that's not a huge trade-off overall I think this is the Fitbit tracker most people should get it slim has great battery life and not a complete eyesore like the charge - can be plus it still has a heart rate sensor for more accurate tracking really the only downside is that's not swim proof like the Flex - the Alta HR is available now for $149 that's the same price the charge - so really unless you care about the stopwatch and workout modes the Alta HR is the Fitbit to get more information check out my full review over at CENTCOM you
