Anyone have the alta and then upgrade to the alta hr? Is the heart rate monitor worth the upgrade?

    I have the Alta - I don't care about the HR part - 1) reviews I read have said it isn't incredibly accurate on the firbits, 2) I have a naturally low HR so the info I get from them is useless, 3) I don't have any reason I can think of to monitor my HR - getting my steps and calories is enough for me :)

    I had the Alta, the HR monitor didn't do it for me either. I've since moved to a Garmin Vivomove cause it was cuter but I miss some Alta features! lol

    i recently bought the garmin vivosmart hr+
    i love it. it does everything you would want it to do and is so accurate. only let down is sleep tracking but im not bothered about that. They do say it tracks your calorie burn more acurately with hr?!
