In addition to added style, the Alta packs a lot of tech into a slim package. Like the rest of the Fitbit line, it tracks your activity levels, including steps, distance walked, calories burned, and the time you spend active per day. It syncs automatically via bluetooth to Fitbit’s easy-to-use app, automatically switches into active mode when it senses increased movement, and pings you when you’ve been sitting for too long (a godsend for those of us who sit in front of a computer all day).
There’s more: The Alta delivers smartwatch functionality—texts, calls, and calendar alerts are sent to a touch-sensitive screen—as well as sleeptracking, recording the time you spend in both light and heavy sleep. The battery gives you five full days on a single charge. And it’s water resistant, so you don’t have to take it off in the shower.
If you’re looking for a sleek, stylish tracker that will give you access to Fitbit’s well-stocked fitness app, now’s the time to buy the Alta. (And if you’re not a Prime member yet, what have you been waiting for?) If the Alta isn’t the right fit for you, here are five other fitness trackers we love.
