Fitbit’s lineup of activity-tracking bands runs the gamut, from the totally basic $60 Zip to the powerful cardio companion, the $250 Surge. The new Fitbit Alta is a sleeker, more stylish fitness band than the company has attempted before, and with its launch, the wearables market leader has hit the sweet spot. The Alta is a slim, affordable, versatile fitness band that you can take from the gym to the office to after-work drinks without looking like an overzealous weirdo.

The $130 Alta is one of two new Fitbits released this spring. The Fitbit Blaze (http://www.macworld.com/article/3054052/hardware/fitbit-blaze-review-dont-call-it-a-smartwatch.html) is more fully-featured (and more expensive) than its little sibling, but it might be overkill for people who don’t care about on-screen workouts and text message notifications. Those people may want a subtle but useful band that nails the basics: accurate activity- and sleep-tracking and positive reinforcement to meet their fitness goals in a stylish package that doesn’t scream, “LOOK AT THIS GIANT FITNESS TRACKER ON MY WRIST.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3079058/fitness-hardware/fitbit-alta-review-my-favorite-fitbit-by-far.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
