Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The watch syncs to your phone with the fitbit app. If you want a gps watch for runs or bike rides that has a really nice app, wireless sync, and integrates with strava, this watch is a good choice. I personally love this watch i got it for christmas i... Read More

My only complaint is that the last update seemed to shorten the battery lifespan by a day. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued by garmin.

Comes with all the features of the cheaper fitbits. Fitbit app is very user friendly compared to the other company's app. The fitbit owner's manual is right on the app.

Cons

I'm * without until a better competitor shows up. Fitbit knows it is a manufacturer's defect but they wouldn't do anything about it.

The surge is old technology that is no longer receiving any updates. My fiancé cheaper alta hr which is significantly cheaper has rem and more detailed sleep log. Setting it up is impossible with iphone or pc.

The watch starts buzzing every few seconds. These are disposable watches for sure. The wrist band contains the bluetooth antenna, so once it breaks, its difficult to replace, and renders the device inoperable.

Not athlete-friendly. Was never taken in the shower nor swimming, only perspiration from running. The devices i’ve owned are also adverse to water and sweat intrusion.

Quality

I personally love this watch i got it for christmas in 2015 and it is pretty durable.

Very nice accurate band only problem -screen is b&w.

The device is not waterproof, as it clearly states, yet i have worn mine every day through showers, swimming in pools, and to the beach.

The watch starts buzzing every few seconds.

Price

I am surprised, however, that people are still buying it in 2019, but whatever - hopefully they are getting them a little cheaper now.

Shipping

I deployed to kuwait with it a few times - no problems.

They sent the replacement out quickly, and the replacement surge has now lasted me almost 4 years.

Competitiveness

And the accuracy has been excellent, and i have done many comparisons with other devices.

I did purchase a garmin forerunner but it doesn't have as many features as the surge.

Unfortunately, they have been discontinued by garmin.

Recently the screen went blank, and i decided to buy another fitbit surge.
