    I was considering Polar's A360 if I was going to go with something that detects heart rate and had smart watch features. I love fitbit but I've always used Polar for heart rate monitors. I also liked the idea of being able to use one device for workouts and all day activity tracking. However, I decided to go with the fitbit Alta because I didn't want to commit to wearing a bigger watch everyday. Before that I'd been using the fitbit one that clips on my bra and is hidden.

    I don't know about the Charge HR, but mine fell apart so I decided to not get another Charge, I went with the Alta instead. I had already gotten a replacement once for my Charge and I didn't think I'd be able to get another one so I just bought a different model.

    They would have sent you another. I'm on my 3rd one. First one I broke by having it on to tight doing burpees, that replacement had a battery issue and that ones replacement has been perfect,

    I lost it and found it later in a box of cereal, Fitbit sent a replacement anyway. I gave away the one I got for free to my boyfriend's mom, who said she wanted it, I really doubt customer service would have sent me a new one and even if they did, I do not want the Charge anymore knowing that it might fall apart again in less than a year. Plus the stainless steel has nickel in it and I am allergic, it was giving me rashes. Since the Alta is half the size of the charge and the buckle isn't touching my skin, I shouldn't have any more reactions and I don't have to worry about it falling apart the same way since the Alta is designed for interchangable bands.

    HR is great so far. Sleep data is interesting as well.

    I really like my HR. The green light wakes(for HR monitoring) me up at night sometimes, but I'm a light sleeper and don't wear the band extremely tight.
