have a sore throat so my voice is going to be a little raspy er than usual cific kind of has a special place in my heart because the super flex 2 is the first product I reviewed on this channel it's a pretty bad video so don't watch it but today I have to submit out to HR in the mail and the biggest upgrade to the new Alta is the heart rate monitor on the back so should you go with the Fitbit Alta HR or just pick up the Fitbit charge - first I want to talk about the price because it's a little strange at the time of this recording the original script that also without the heart rate monitor currently retails for the same one 2995 the Fitbit Alta HR is currently selling for one forty nine ninety five or one 7995 depending on the color the Ultra HR also comes in a total of six colorways the Fitbit charge two currently also retails for one forty nine ninety five or one 7995 depending on the color as well why would Fitbit price the new alter HR as the same as a Fitbit charge - when the charge - is all around better than the alter HR I can see fit they're cutting the price of the Ultra HR to one twenty nine ninety five and just continuing the original Auto once the stock went down in the coming month if you're interested in picking up either one of these variables I have a link in the description with the best deal on either one of these Amazon routinely puts the Fitbit charge two on sale now let's jump into the unboxing Packaging is practically identical to the Fitbit also in true fitbit fashion the packaging feels very premium when you open the letter you'll see the alter HR itself you only get one wristband so make sure you select the right size when ordering yours inside the box you will also find a QuickStart guide that tells you to download the Fitbit app to your phone and warranty information below that you'll find the charging cradle for the Fitbit Alta HR the also HR is very similar to the original also but there are two major differences that stand out first up is the heart rate monitor and die that's why it's called the Alta HR but the other difference here is the class the original alter has the stupid setup that's always a pain with a butt to put on but this new also has a proper clasp on it something I am very happy to see the addition of the heart rate monitor did increase the thickness of the alter h or slightly but it's not that noticeable just like other fitbit products the fitbit alta HR feels very premium the spam is made out of that soft touch silicone material that we've come to know and love from flippin the casing itself is made out of stainless steel I'm not entirely sure what comes the screen I don't know if it's a hard plastic or Gorilla Glass but overall the main unit is very well put together the Alta HR also has the same interchangeable voice fans as your original with the same quick release mechanism and if you want to buy extra wrist bands you can get them directly from Fitbit or from some third parties McCune under Fitbit Alta HR is not a traditional touch screen instead it responds to the force from your tap which is good because this type of screen responds actually when you try to use it when you're sweaty you can change the style and layout of your watch face in Fitbit mobile app but for the most part the auto HR will show you the time your steps taken calories burned distance walks heart rate and your active minutes the rippen also HR is a really simple yet elegant finished tracker that will show you your stats in a very simple and streamlined manner spec wise the Alta HR connects your phone via bluetooth it has a seven day battery life with normal use but it's really molecule five-day battery life you charge the alta HR by placing it in its cradle that really reminds me of a predator the Alta HR is splash proof but not waterproof which means you better not try swimming with it also the Alta HR will show you notification for incoming calls and text messages you can't really do much like respond to a text or an Android code all the auto HR does is notify you that someone is trying to reach you I've said it before but when buying a fitness tracker you're not just buying the hardware you're also buying into the software and sip it hands down still has the best fitness tracking app on the market it's super easy to use but still very in-depth inside the app you can get detailed views of your calories burn steps taken distance walk active minutes floors climb track your exercise track your sleep quality track your completed remove reminders and now you can also check your heart rate readings with the alter a charm sip it also has challenges you can complete and medals you can earn to help you stay motivated if it also now has guided workout routines through their new fit star apps overall the new Fitbit ultra HR is what the original Fitbit alter from last year should have been the heart rate sensor is a very welcome feature that finally makes alcohol as a product the design is elegant but skews more towards women but at 149.95 it's a little hard to recommend over the equally price and superior Fitbit charge - if Fitbit ends up selling we alter HR for one 29.95 and manages to make it swim proof then it's a knockout hey if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed the video if you could please high-five the like button it helps the channel grow if you like videos like this subscribe there are more product reviews and fitness advice videos coming for more check out Jim Carrey that net and I'll catch you next time
