The company's latest offering will help inspire the wearers achieve their physical goals by constantly providing data to the owner. With its current design, Fitbit is aiming that the device will be worn at all times and not just during fitness activities.

The company is boasting Fitbit Alta's five-day charge capacity, day-in-day-out. Users need not worry about their fitness tracker lacking the juice during their training period. The device can also be synced to a smartphone or a computer so the individual can keep a record of their accomplishments, such as the steps they made, distance traveled, burned calories, and even active minutes. It also reminds the user to be active all throughout the day.

The Fitbit Alta is ready for pre-order on the company's website or thru Amazon for US$129.95. Currently, there is still no exact date when the fitness tracker will be released.
