Hi, @01dunster! It kind of depends what you want to do with it. To me, there are two big differences between the two trackers. The first is form factor. The Alta has a lot smaller, more delicate look than the Charge. I have pretty small wrists and the Alta definitely fits me better. The second is fitness tracking. The Charge allows you to manually track exercise and also has the connected GPS if you want to track your walks/runs that way. I've found that the auto-detect activities, which both trackers have, doesn't do all that well for a lot of activities outside of walking/running. Since I happen to also have a few other trackers, I like the Alta over the Charge, but I don't use it for working out, just for wearing around at other times.

Hello @01dunster and @MakMak.

 

I have moved this thread to the Discussion boards as I think it is much better suited for the type of talks that happen on this side of the Forums. Nevertheless, @MakMak thanks for chiming in and helping out.

 

@01dunster Perhaps you could find the comparison tool helpful. 

 

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
