Yet another FitBit question

My husband bought me a fitbit for my birthday. Or rather a gift card for one. I am a runner, mostly, and am looking at either the Charge 2 or the new and not yet released Alta HR.

First, for those of you with the Charge 2--what are your likes and dislikes?
Also, how accurate do you find it for calories burned?

Thanks!

    The question for the new alta will be whether the thinner band with commensurate additional light leakage will be as accurate measuring your heart rate as the wider charge 2.

    I suspect, without knowing, that ultimately you will have to decide between an increment in accuracy vs an increment in style.

    I have the Blaze and I like it but it is a bit large. The smaller form factor of the Alta has some appeal. As long as it counts steps, measures heart rate and tracks sleep its a win. I love to look at a run and see where the hills are based on my heart rate.

    Is it fairly accurate in calculating how many calories you've burned whilst walking or exercising?
