This is

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
FitBit Surge extremely sporty design, the suit will not do such a watch, and every day they are not so different, look strange.However, having overcome first impressions, such as szhilsya with them a few weeks later they started to like me. Not in terms o...

When the Surge was first announced at the end of last year, we were massively excited, and the company's claims that it was a “fitness super watch” seemed reasonable. A few months on though and the Garmin Vivoactive has been announced, with its endless ar...

All-day heart-rate tracking is a step in the right direction, but the smart features aren't nearly smart enough and the fitness side of the Surge is too basic to justify the higher price....

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 it's also £80 more than the Charge HR, and unless you have that very specific need, it is not £8...

Inconsistent sleep tracking, Battery life is not great, Drab, unattractive design
The Surge is an interesting move for Fitbit. This is the company's most feature-packed device so far and as a result is the most expensive, too. Fitbit isn't offering anything that's not already available in similarly priced sports watches, however. It d...

The watch is nice. It offers plenty of features, feels ok and has some crazy accurate GPS. It doesn't look the greatest, but it doesn't look bad. The touch-screen is very responsible in most situations and I found the information to be useful. The heart-r...
