Whats Included
  • Surge Fitness Watch (Large)
  • Owner's manual

Q: Is the fitbit surge water/sweat proof?

A: Definitely sweat proof, I wouldn't wear it in the shower and would try to keep it from getting too wet other wise. I wear mine all day every day except the shower and I'm fine. (I'm a nurse so for example I was my hands an ungodly amount of time per day and have never had a problem)

Q: Battery

A: The battery is built in. Just be sure you have your charging cable handy if you're using any fitness training program. Regular use it'll last one week. GPS tracking exercises like a jog around the park, 5 hours.

Q: Surge, charge hr

A: Screen is always on. Backlight does require you to touch the screen or push a button to light up if dark.

Q: Do i need my phone to map out my run?

A: Fitbit - Surge comes with inbuilt GPS tracking, which gives you pace, distance, routes and elevation climbed—without needing your smartphone nearby.

Q: Size

A: I have small wrists but bought the large as I read that it should be loose for certain workouts. There are plenty of holes of adjustment so it will not be too big. Also, I use my original Fitbit Flex to keep the Surge in the proper position, which is supposed to be a finger width or two above your wrist.

Q: can step tracking be turned off?

A: No, this is the primary function of a FitBit device.

Q: water proof

A: No just sweat/water resistant. Water proof means it can be submerged. Resistant allows only a little wetness. Only damp cloth to clean and no soap.

Q: does it track cycling

A: The surge does. You have to choose that as one of the forms of exercise on the fit it app,when setting it up. You can choose between several different kinds of exercise. Hiking,walking, and cycling now.
