good activity monitor

Verified Purchase:Yes

I had been thinking about buying an activity monitor for a while but at a recent family reunion after seeing how many of my cousins had them I decided to get my own. I did the research and decided on a Fitbit Alta. For the price, I think this is a good product for measuring my exercise. I like this model because it has a large screen that shows the time, day and date with a turn of your wrist. With a tap it shows my steps, calories expended, time it takes to reach this level and distance I have walked. It also tracks my sleep patterns. Very interesting results. It vibrates when I reach certain levels or when I am inactive it gives encouraging messages. Also, what I really like is that it vibrates and then displays messages and phone calls coming to my smart phone.
Cons: hate the strap. I find it very difficult to snap together. I had to use some pliers at first to get the 2 snaps in the holes.
It is impossible to read the screen when out in the sun.
Also is not water proof. That would be a nice feature.
Over all, I am very happy with the Alta. It is comfortable to wear even at night.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Can it be worn on your ankle and still be accurate? I can wear on my wrist at work but wanted the Alta instead of the One

I bought the large strap version for just that reason. I think wearing it on your ankle is actually more accurate. All you have to do is move your arm and it counts it as steps. So, on the ankle is really counting your steps. Also, if I am doing something where I think it will get wet, I put it on my ankle.

Why does my fitbit not always activate and show clock feature when I turn it towards my chest...and have to tap it mutiple times to activate screen

I have the same issue. It's all in how you turn your wrist.
