You know, it's funny. The Fitbit Surge has actually grown on me more than I expected. We had a bit of a rocky start to things, mostly because my first few runs were in more challenging conditions with it – so it suffered a bit.Since then I've grown accust...

The Fitbit Surge is an activity tracker for the serious fitness enthusiast. We're not saying a more casual user wouldn't appreciate its looks and features, but the level of functionality and price put it properly in the market for the power user. The ever...
