Honestly wish I had this instead of the Apple Watch. Or, rather, I wish I had this and an extra $300 instead of the Apple Watch.

@joshuapinter true story!

Looks like an attractive addition to the Fitbit lineup. Was hoping for it to have Heart Rate capabilities, but I think it is the best-looking wrist option available (at least in the Fitbit lineup). Not sure if it is innovative enough for Flex or Charge users to update, but should be promising for customers looking to buy their first Fitbit.

@mstanz11 It looks great, and I love the reminders, but as a Charge HR user, I definitely won't upgrade until it has the heart rate support.

It's also pre-order only with no mention of when it will actually ship. :(

@design_love The Fitbit Alta will ship in March.

@jeremiahlee, I see that the Alta lacks continuous heart monitoring as with the Surge HR. My Surge HR fell apart pretty quickly and I like the slim form factor of the Alta, but is the Alta (and Flex, etc.) less accurate at counting calories?

@therobbiedshow Fitbit products have a year warranty. Contact customer support if something has broken. Heart rate data does allow Fitbit to more accurately estimate calories burn. If that feature is important to you, you will be better served by the Charge HR or Surge.

@jeremiahlee why not have HR in the Alta?

I like this a lot - less clunky than the watch and reminders to move are just what I need.

I like the design! It would be good to wear just like a watch.

This is the sleekest fitness tracker I've seen. Can't wait to get it!

What's with Fitbit releasing this new stuff right after the holidays? Seems like a really good way to make some angry customers

@abiv probably didn't have enough stock to do that

No GPS, no heart rate tracking? :(
