I walk a lot during my work day and really wanted a fitness tracker to see if 8 was actual hitting 10,000 steps a day so I was very pleased when I received a fitbit Alta as a gift. I'm also happy to have received the pink leather band with my alta the traditional black plastic band isn't too stylish imo.

Cons:
*Sleek & stylish w. a lot of third party band options. I bought a metal band and have worn my fitbit to weddings and events. No one is the wiser. It makes for a gorgeous watch.
*Having a watch 24/7 in the age of smart phones, I'm actually surprised at how convenient having a watch OK my wrist has become. No more struggling to find it in my purse. I also LOVE that the Alta tells me whose calling and shows me what's app messages.
*step tracker... What it's actually for! It's fantastic and just looking at my steps throughout the day motivates me to move more... That and it's friendly reminders to move every 2 hours. I love the customizations and really feel like I make healthier choices wearing it.
*the fitbit app - being able to connect with family and friends encourages friendly competition and again gives me more reason to keep moving.

Cons:
*wish it read my full what's app messages and not half.
*wish it could give app notifications like a smart watch
*pricey and you know a new generation is bound to come out... I.e the fitbit Alta Charge.

Overall, I love my fitbit and recommend it. The battery lasts about a week which is much better than a smart watch and it doesn't take that long to charge.

I love it. I previously owned the Fitbit Flex and the Fitbit Charge. I enjoy the small screen on this one. It's very comfortable and I LOVE that you can change the bands on it. It's awesome especially if one band gets torn or just worn down. It holds a charge for quite a long time. I've owned it for about 2 weeks now and have only had to charge it once since buying it. Very comfortable, I do find if you clasp the band too tightly it does leave a few marks but other than that it's comfortable. The vibration is pretty strong and it's very helpful showing phone calls on the screen, it has saved me from missing calls.

I love my Fitbit. I use it everyday to count my steps and give me an estimate of how many calories I am bringing during a normal day and during exercise. My only problem with it, is I'm not sure how accurate it is.

I love my alta!! I work in an office and can often tend to get stuck at my desk. The alta reminders to move have been really helpful and made me much more aware of how long I've been sitting. I have a smaller wrist and it doesn't look to large. I also love the challenges with friends in the app. Great product and would definitely recommend it!

I love my Fitbit. They also take good care of their users. My strap was not staying on and I got a free replacement. The only reason I took off half a star is because, I don't find the sleep tracker very accurate. I get up for washroom breaks quite often in the night but it never shows on my Fitbit. When I wake up in the mornings, it's also not tracked. I have to manually sync my tracker to the app to "inform" the system I'm awake.

This watch keeps me on my toes
I love that you can challenge friends and track your entire day. The reminders to move are great!!
I'm always trying to beat my previous day. On my lazy days it surely shows
So happy I bought this!!

I got one of these as a mother's day gift to myself. A couple of girlfriends also got them around the same time and I am way more active than I used to be, so for me this thing is working! We challenge each other which really motivates me to get out and get walking. The fitbit app also comes with a food tracking area which is decent, or is also compatible with other apps like myfitnesspal or weight watchers. The sleep part of the tracking is not super accurate or useful to me. Otherwise I am enjoying this gadget!

I have been embarking on a new way of eating and wanted to be able to accurately get my calories burned. Decided to splurge on the alta. It is a bit pricey. However once set up it is super easy to use,lightweight, and easy to read. I love how it has the watch built right in ao I don't have to worry about wearing one as well.

I've been using this for 4 days so far and i'm really happy with it. It is able to auto detect the activity that i am doing and it lets me know when i have a new text msg or call. I'm not sure if it might over estimate the number of steps but its a really good device to let you know how active you have been for the day. I think it is really good for getting encouragement to stay active throughout the day.
