" ... I love the hourly step reminders, but wish they would consistently tell me how many steps are left or if there was a quick way to look up that information. ... "
" ... I also feel like I am racking up steps quicker with the Alta which makes me think the charge wasn't catching all my steps, but I could be wrong. ... "

" ... It is very accurate - I have worn it with a chest HR and the most they have ever differed is by less than 5 beats per minute. ... "

" ... I keep tack of my exercise and burned calories. ... "
" ... Tracks steps accurately. ... Counts calories very well. ... "
" ... Love my new Fitbit Alta HR it is so easy to use and it is very accurate ... "
" ... I don't know if it is totally accurate because I feel I should be a lot skinnier with the amount of calories it says I burn verses the calories I know I'm eating. ... "
" ... The hourly reminders are helpful to keep me on track with my steps. ... "
