Fitbit, no doubt fearing complaints from people whose showers are modeled after fire hoses, discourages you from wearing the Alta in the shower. You can choose what kind of time display you want, and in which orientation. The OLED screen isn’t as bright as the one on the Fitbit Charge 2 you can’t see it at all in direct sunlight. To detach the two band halves, you press hinged metal buttons on the back (top). The new bands are interchangeable with the original Alta-which means that you if you own the original Alta, you can now get the better buckle mechanism. (There are also dozens of great bands for sale on Amazon-for as little as $10.) There’s even a gorgeous, shiny, stainless-steel, bangle-type band ($100) that takes fitness trackers into a whole new realm of jewleryishness-but, because it’s a bangle that dangles away from your wrist, sacrifices the heart monitoring. You can pop out the Alta’s brain module to insert it into a different band: another silicone color ($30) or a leather one ($60). You can hold your phone up and look around, turning your body, and see the stunning view that you’d see around you-no matter how gritty and depressing your actual location. For example, Adventures is a cool, semi-augmented-reality feature: As your step count grows through the week, it tracks where you’d be if you’d walked the same distance into the hiking paths in Yosemite, or the route in the New York City Marathon. Fitbit’s app uses clever cues to prod you to move more, and reward you when you do. The Fitbit’s job isn’t just to measure you it’s also to inspire you.
