The new Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime smartphone is highly sought after and priced very aggressively in regions like India which is also the same region where Fitbit is targeting its Fitbit Alta. Thus it makes perfect sense for us to try linking both devices and see if it works.

Just do a search for "Fitbit" on Google Play to find and install the Fitbit App.

  

When you launch the App, you will access the login screen. Since we have a Fitbit account already, logging in is quick, and you go straight to the main dashboard.

   

  

To add the Fitbit Alta to the Fitbit app, tap on the three lines at the top left of your Fitbit app and select the Devices option from the list. Select the plus sign at the top right of the Devices tab and the App will ask you which Fitbit tracker you want to set up. As such, select 'Alta' from the list. 

   

After that, you can then select 'Set up your Fitbit Alta' and agree to the terms & policies. 

  

To allow the App to find the Fitbit Alta and sync with the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime, you will need to turn on Bluetooth and Location settings on your phone. The Fitbit App then goes through a series of screens that introduce the Fitbit Alta to you, including a nice video showing how to hook up the charging cable.

   

To connect the Fitbit Alta with the App, you will need to key in a 4-digit code generated by the Fitbit Alta into the App. 

   

Once the App has connected to the Fitbit Alta, you can set up the name. The App then goes through quite a lot of other useful tips on how best we can use the Fitbit Alta.

   

   

 

At this point, you can also customize which wrist you want to wear the Fitbit Alta on and what type of clock face to use.

   

    

Once setup has completed, the App will be able to sync automatically with the Fitbit Alta.

   

The seamless setup and communication between the stylish Fitbit Alta and the popular Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime make them an ideal pair for your daily fitness regime.
