All-in-One Fitness Watch
The fitbit Surge is a very good fitness companion. Depending on the area of use, it brings exactly the functions that other companions do not.
If you use the Fitibit app together with the MyFitnessPal app, you will get even more out of it. Especially the additional motivators (badges, praise, warnings, etc.) help to live more consciously and healthier.Pro
- Constant pulse monitoring
- Fitbit app
- Automatic recognition of sleep phases
- Integrated GPS
- Battery life (depending on use GPS!)
- Other listed functions
Contra
- Rather large for small wrists
- GPS reduces the runtime down to almost only 3 hours
- Interruption of the pulse measurement during heavy sweating
- Unsuitable for swimming
- Only SMS and calls from the iPhone are currently displayed
fitbit again and again
I started with flex and now I'm continuing with Surge. Top pedometer. There is nothing better.
A great invemment for one's health.
Excellent product. For semi-sedentary people like me, this Fitbit Surge S really pushes you to get moving. Super motivating.
Pro
- Fast charging time. Just enough time for a shower to restore the device's autonomy.
- Autonomy
Contra
- Some fos the screen is not bright enough
- Syncing sometimes takes a little while
Not what I imagined - maybe the next generation will be better.....
I bought the Fitbit Surge to get hiking data and am disappointed.
A GPS activity tracker should automatically recognise and record and of course measure the metres of altitude uphill and downhill. I have to start the Surge manually and there are only "floors" up in the evaluation. While rummaging through my backpack, I once hit a button - and the recording was interrupted. However, I usually forget to start the recording at all. With the additional app Strava, I can at least find the altitude metres upwards on a recorded hike.
It also seems to me that in very steep terrain neither steps nor floors are correct.Pro
- Looks acceptable on my thin arm despite the enormous size
Contra
- No altitude metres+-
- No automatic recognition of the activity
Overall a good watch - but still with potential for improvement
I chose the Fitbit Surge because it is one of the few all in one watches (incl. GPS, activity tracking and integrated heart rate monitor) and because there are several wristband sizes. I use it for indoor activities (fitness/running) and outdoor (so far only running and no biking). I am very satisfied with everything. What could be better: Elevation not measured in floors, selection of training types for indoors and for jogging run time mapped to distance profile (incl. elevation).
Pro
- all in one clock
- No chest strap for heart rate measurement
Contra
- Altitude metres in floors
Good fun watch
Makes fun
The pulse measurement on the wrist is not completely accurate but otherwise the watch is recommendable.Pro
- Battery life
- GPS
Contra
- Pulse measurement wrist
