The Fitbit Surge is Fitbit's latest fitness tracker, pairing together features from their previous trackers with GPS, a heart rate sensor, and a watch, making it their most advanced activity tracker to date. Having used other wearables to track fitness be...

As far as activity trackers go, the Fitbit Surge seems to go above and beyond without packing the device with too much extra junk. It has what it needs to make it a fully capable tracker with tons of benefits, but doesn't add anything useless like a cam...

I'll start off by saying how familiar I am with Fitbit. I have reviewed 3 of their latest activity trackers. They all went from good to great, adding cool features and slowly evolved in build and design. The Fitbit Surge however is different from any of t...

The Fitbit Surge is great entry-level step into running watches. As breathable and lightweight as the Surge was, it was difficult for me to sleep with and wear everyday, especially with certain dressy outfits. And of course, not wearing the Surge ever...

Wearable fitness trackers can enhance fitness. But only if you work out. Don't expect a health tracker to act like a personal trainer; they only log biometric data that users can apply to their exercises. There is therefore a single benchmark for the effi...

The Surge didn't do a great job of helping me optimize my workouts. And its GPS functionality is wasted. In theory, the Surge could have correlated heart-rate and caloric burn along with location. This would let users know the most effective points of the...

But, as Fitbit's product billing and the Surge's feature set would suggest, it's not really a smartwatch. There are no third-party apps. Notifications are limited. It's more of a souped-up version of the Charge HR , a Fitbit with an always-on watch face.T...

Constant and mostly accurate heart rate monitoring gives a more complete picture of overall fitness, and allows for more accurate calorieburning estimates. Touchscreen interactions are intuitive and swift. Automatic syncing with Fitbit app over Bluetooth.
Not waterproof. No builtin cycling activity monitoring. Bluetooth Classic notifications take extra toll on smartphone battery. Trouble measuring high heart rates...

No. Not unless running without your phone but still having GPS track your course is of the utmost importance to you. The Surge is a great fitness tracker, but its also $100 more than the Charge HR, and unless you have that very specific need, it is not $...
