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

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

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

Not really a smart watch
Monocolor display
Setup is a bit fiddly

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...
Abstract: My Surge arrived on Dec. 8. I'm already benefiting from it and recommend it. However, I wonder how I'll feel about it when the Apple Watch finally arrives. (Apple says its Watch will ship "in early 2015," though rumors suggest it may not arrive until spri...
Review: Calorie Counting With The Fitbit Surge Last issue's first look gave us a basic first impression of the Fitbit Surge, and given the time I had to test it out, I had a better experience on what I actually liked and disliked about this popular fitnes...
Too large for small wrists, battery life takes a hit when GPS is on
The Fitbit Surge is actually one of the more advanced fitness wearables and packs a lot of features for a reasonable price. At RM968 it may sound expensive but wearables with similar features from other companies cost much more.The Surge is fairly large a...
Abstract: Fitbit products may have been selling in stores nationwide with fans and geeks like us knowing about it, however the company itself has only recently started showing its presence here and have started bringing its full range of fitness tracking devices to...
Abstract: Fitbit's Charge 2 is the heir to the fitness gadget company's most popular fitness tracker, the Charge HR. The latter has been my personal favourite with its accurate step-tracking and heart rate monitoring abilities. But it is looking dated with new rele...

For its price, the Fitbit Surge is a competent running watch with fairly good distance tracking and heart-rate monitoring. That is, if you do not mind its awkward looks...
Abstract: Hailed as a “super watch” that marries fitness tracking and some smartwatch capabilities into a single device, the Fitbit Surge is the most powerful Fitbit to date.It packs in a heart rate monitor that tracks your heart beat and sleep patterns, a pedomete...
