"Motivation is your best accessory with this fitness wristband built with all-day activity, auto sleep, SmartTrack™ and reminders to move," the company wrote on the device's description.

According to the listings on both websites, the FitBit Alta is currently priced at $129.95. For this price, fans will get to receive many amazing features and benefits from the FitBit wearable device—most especially the ones who are health conscious and fitness junkies.

Fans who will order the FItBit Alta will be able to run the device for up to five days of continuous usage—without the need to charge it every now and then. For tech enthusiasts, the battery life of a device, whether it'd be a wearable one such as the Alta or other else, is definitely an important feature.

The FitBit Alta offers an auto sleep tracking system where it monitors the wearer while he/she is sleeping as well as a silent alarm that can be set at any given time. Aside from the night time tracker for the Alta, there is also a feature that tracks the user's activities for the day like steps, distance, calories burned, and active minutes.

Just like any other wearable device, the Alta also has a wireless synchronization system that lets users connect the watch to their smartphones or even computers. With that in mind, once synched, the Alta can also show the wearer some notifications on their watch whenever they receive a call or a text message from their phone.

The FitBIt Alta, according to Wareable, is scheduled to become available in the United States this March, and will be sold to everyone else, specifically in other regions, starting next month.
