            The main impact of the overall designs on how you'll use each tracker is that if you want a bigger screen, to easily glance down at, then go for the Charge 2 and make do with the larger device. On the Alta HR, there are no buttons so all interaction with the device is done by tapping on the touchscreen.Jun 13, 2018

            obviously, the screen on the fitbit charge 2 is slightly larger but its also much brighter, making it much easier to see in sun light. the fitbit charge 2 also has a button on its side allowing you to do more from your wrist than you could with the alta hr. the alta hr can only show you your stats.Mar 27, 2017

            The Fitbit Charge 2 has a shorter battery life, but has more features than the Altra HR. Then again, the Altra HR can be found for considerably less than the Charge 2. It comes down to what matters more to you. If you want a bigger screen or GPS and don't care about cost, then you should pick up the Charge 2.Aug 14, 2019
