This is my second Fitbit tracker. I switched to Garmin Vivosmart after having a Fitbit One and now to the Fitbit Alta. I was excited to see the Alta when it was launched because I thought it had similar features as the Vivosmart (except waterproof). It is comfortable to wear and light. The functionality of it however is terrible. Sometimes when you tap the screen it won't come on or you have to tap it really hard. When you receive a notification on your phone you have about 1 second to see it on the Alta and you can flip your wrist to come back up, but that is only right after it has buzzed. There are no stored notifications. It does not show an accurate number of steps. It rounds up. I still like the Fitbit app better than the Garmin app, but I would not recommend buying an Alta if you are looking for something even slightly more than a light wrist activity tracker. The extra features on the Alta don't work well enough to be considered.
