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

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...
The heart rate monitor and USB connection on the SurgeOverall, I have to say I was a fan of the Fitbit Surge and I think it is a great piece of fitness tech.It's very light and, despite its size, which may bother some, I found it uncumbersome.Importantly...
Nice design, easy to use, great Fitbit platform, good running companion, continuous heart rate-monitoring, GPS tracking, good activity tracking
GPS battery life is poor, elevation measure inaccurate, smartphone notifications are basic, uncomfortable as sleep tracker
The Fitbit Surge offers plenty of features: GPS tracking, continuous heart-rate monitoring, basic smartphone notifications and music control are all present within its slim and well-built design. Fitbit's platform and app are fantastic too, deliver...
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...
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...

Activity tracking is great, Very easy to use, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, Automatic sleep tracking,
Smartphone notifications basic, GPS accuracy debatable, Uninspiring design and display, It's not cheap,
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...

The Fitbit Surge has an always-on display, all-day fitness and heart-rate tracking, and GPS to track a variety of activities. Fitbit's software is still one of our favorites and has the largest social base
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
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....

The Surge is a great fitness tracker and dumb simple. I just slapped it on and synced it up and BOOM instant life stats. The app is fantastic at sharing the info with you, Auto-sleep tracking is brilliant, Battery life seems great; haven't had long enou
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
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...
Durable and water resistant, Quick and accurate GPS tracking, Accurate resting and continous heart rate tracking
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...
