Fitbit Alta HR review

It's got a new heart-rate sensor, but is the Alta HR still a tracker's delight?

Not water-resistant ; Screen can be unresponsive ; Lacks an altimeter and guided breathing

A fine all-rounder with excellent autopilot tracking, but the Alta HR falls just short of greatness

No altimeter ; I don't use it often, but the option to see how many floors you've climbed is essential for many. Even the Fitbit One had an altimeter so why Fitbit keeps omitting it in some models is beyond me. ; No "Multi-sport" ; It means you can't...
