Fitbit launched its new activity tracker called the Alta that will sell for Rs.12,999 on Amazon India from mid-March.

The Fitbit Alta focuses on the style factor and  it included removable straps. Unlike the Fitbit ChargeHR, the Fitbit Alta will allow you to swap the band straps to your favorite colors. At launch, Fitbit has released the Alta in black, blue, teal and plum bands which have a satin finish and a silver coloured stainless steel tracker. According to the company, a gold coloured stainless steel tracker is on the cards as well.

The regular classic band accessories in colours such as blue, teal, black and plum will cost Rs 2,999 whereas the Luxe soft and premium leather bands in colours such as graphite, camera and blush pink will come for Rs 5,999.

In terms of features, the Fitbit Alta allows you to measure your daily activity that includes walking, running, exercise and sleep. It also has the Reminder to Move feature which buzzes you at regular intervals to get moving. You can either opt for the default prompts that remind you every time about your goal of 250 steps or you can set reminders for yourself.

In terms of battery, Fitbit says that Alta can last for at least 5 days on a single charge and is compatible with around 200 Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices.

A new feature called SmartTrack is the automatic exercise recognition. It can make the difference between activities like walking, running, outdoor cycling, aerobics and sports like basketball, football and tennis. Like the ChargeHR, Fitbit Alta does automatic sleep tracking as well.
