Fitbit Surge

The Fitbit Surge is a 'super fitness watch', but what exactly does that mean? Well, it's an activity tracker just like the Charge and Charge HR, utlizing the very same motion sensors. So you can track steps, distance covered and even automatically...

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

Fitbit Surge review

Fitbit's GPS-touting 'superwatch'

Built-in GPS ; Heart-rate monitor ; Classic watch clasp ; Works with most phones

Dated '80s-like design ; Not completely accurate ; Weaker battery life ; Proprietary charger

Fitbit Surge is the most powerful Fitbit with GPS tracking, real-time workout stats and a heart rate monitor. But it's stepped up specs and touchscreen LCD make it bigger in size and price. It's also now pitted against more serious fitness trackers.

Fitbit Surge review: large fitness tracker makes big promises it can't quite keep

Does Fitbit's ‘Fitness Super Watch' super enough to live up to its hype?

Great ; easy to navigate app ; Fairly accurate pulse monitor ; Very versatile

Expensive ; Big and reasonably ugly ; Not amazing as a running watch

Fitbit Surge review: Bridging the gap between activity tracker and sportswatch

Described as the ultimate fitness superwatch, the Fitbit Surge places the company in the sportswatch category for the first time, competing against the likes of Polar and Garmin. The Fitbit Surge offers plenty of features: GPS tracking, continuous...

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 Surge review

Hands on with the Fitbit Surge – an heart-rate monitor and activity tracker with all the bells and whistles for the serious sports and fitness enthusiast.

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....

Fitbit Surge review

The Fitbit Surge was one of the first watches to include all-day fitness tracking, GPS, smartphone notifications and an optical heart-rate sensor. But a lot has changed since it was first announced in 2014 . The competition has since caught up to...

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.

The only GPS-capable Fitbit will appeal to casual runners, but more serious athletes should look elsewhere.

Fitbit Surge review

(Rating Hidden)

Billed as a 'super watch', the Fitbit Surge is far from the latest Fitbit activity tracker. It has a built-in heart rate monitor and GPS, so you don't have to depend on your phone to track your run. It's got a generous display, but does it do a good...

Fitbit Surge review: The most expensive Fitbit, but not the prettiest

The Fitbit Surge is the most fully featured Fitbit out there, but it's neither cheap nor pretty

Let’s get one thing clear right away: £200 is an awful lot of money to spend on a fitness tracker, even one as fully featured as this. I’d personally be more inclined to ditch the GPS, buy a Blaze and put the remaining £40 towards a good pair of...

The Fitbit Surge, with its built-in GPS, sleep tracker and some smartwatch features, is the most powerful Fitbit to date.

Fitbit Surge review

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...

Fitbit's latest round of fitness trackers are some of the best out there, improving on previous models with at a glance information and slick designs, and the Surge takes things to a new level with a rather chunky design and a large watch face to feed...

If you're already in Fitbit's ecosystem, upgrading to the Surge is a doddle, but if you're a newcomer you might be a tad overwhelmed. Fitbit's aiming its Surge at top end athletes who need to get the most from their statistics, and as a result, all the...

The Fitbit Surge is the top-end fitness tracker in the company's lineup, and it has the tracking skills to boot. Its GPS and heart rate skills aren't quite the most accurate, but it's hard to argue with an all-in-one wristwatch that packs both in,...
