The editors didn't like

  • Bulky for some
  • Priced for serious runners
  • The Surge is prone to accidental swipes (especially during sleep) and never defaults back to the time until you do it yourself
  • I hate when my watch-type accessory fails to meet the most basic criteria of a watch
  • The Surge is water-resistant but not sh
  • Fitbit Surge tries to be a jack-of-all-trades
  • Master of "run
  • " but it falls short in every way. It's not as accurate as the Garmin's top-tier fitness tracker and not as subtle as an activity band. It's big
  • Bulky and doesn't have all of the premium featu
  • The design feels old and clunky. It can't be worn while swimming or when in the shower. The heart rate data isn't accurate and notifications are limited to text messages and calls
  • Smartphone notifications basic
  • GPS accuracy debatable
  • Uninspiring design and display
  • It's not cheap
  • Expensive
  • Big and reasonably ugly
  • Not amazing as a running watch
  • Inconsistent sleep tracking
  • Battery life is not great
  • Drab
  • Unattractive design
  • GPS battery life is poor
  • Elevation measure inaccurate
  • Smartphone notifications are basic
  • Uncomfortable as sleep tracker
  • Design is large
  • Clunky
  • And dated
  • Not really a smart watch
  • Monocolor display
  • Setup is a bit fiddly
  • The food database for calories consumed is USbased by default
  • So you need to head into advanced settings and change it to UK you can scan barcodes but we found some more popular items
  • Like chocolate biscuits
  • Weren't listed
  • Bulky

  • Fitbit Surge is meant for budget-conscious power users who are in need of a smarter running accessory. In this way, it runs laps around Fitbit's more casual wearables, like its Fitbit Flex or Fitbit Charge, thanks to GPS-mapped runs, basic music controls...

  • Great, easy to navigate app, Fairly accurate pulse monitor, Very versatile
  • Expensive, Big and reasonably ugly, Not amazing as a running watch
  • Had Fitbit not made such grand promises about Surge, it might be easier to be impressed by the product itself. It is designed on a fairly bulky scale, but the build quality is good, the Fitbit app is strong as ever and in many ways it's a very polishe...

  • Abstract:  The Fitbit Surge is one of the latest activity trackers from the veteran accessory maker, and it's billed as the top of the line model too. Lauded as a "fitness superwatch", it packs in constant heart rate monitoring, GPS tracking and can sync up with you...
