QuestionDoes it track how many calories you consumeWill the device show how many calories I consumed so far, after I have already entered calories in the app?
Asked 9 years ago by Scubacat.
- Answer It can track them if you enter it on the food log, but the database is limited. I use my fitness pal because the food database is more extensive and it can be synced to Fitbit It will not appear on the device can be seen on your page at Fitbit.

QuestionFor Men only?Can a woman wear this also?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes women can wear it, I got one for my boyfriend for his birthday and loved his so I asked for one for my birthday. We both love them and as I have never had a problem with mine. He has twice broke the band on his and both times they sent him a brand new replacement! When I say they sent him a replacement they sent the entire product not just the band (they don't supply replacement parts, so they send the entire Surge Fitbit Replacement) I love the Fitbit Surge!

QuestionSeparation from phone notification?I currently own a pebble watch and if i leave my phone somewhere the watch will vibrate that i have become out of range(bluetooth). Does the Surge do the same thing?
Asked 10 years ago by hms1964.
- Answer The surge does not alert you that you are out of range. It will keep tracking and once it comes within range it syncs up.

QuestionDo I need a new ISP provider contract in order to get messages if I have a working ipad and android phone
Asked 10 years ago by Duck.
- Answer You do not need a new ISP provider, however we are having many issues with Fit right now. The community blog is exploding with text/call and snycing issues since many Android cells updated, even the mighty ios has had issues snycing, etc. Fitbit ignored, gave tech go arounds, and finally responded with, "We know about the issues but have no answers or time frame for fixing." So if you still wan't one, have at it.

QuestionAll day syncDoes anyone know how to cut the all day sync off in the fitibit app so all notifications will come through so it doesn't sync all day?
Asked 10 years ago by nc-glock.
- Answer When you open the app on your phone, it should go straight to the "dashboard" display. At the very top it will show which device you have, click on that. When you do that, it will go to the next display of your device and under that will have the option "use bluetooth". Click on your device again, this will then take you to a lot more options and just under your device you will see the option for all day sync and that is where you can turn it off and on. There are also a lot more options that are kind of cool so take a look! hope that helps.

QuestionWhat is the small black plug looking piece in the box? It looks like it connect to the back of the surge but there it is not mentioned in the documentation and there are no instructions for it.
Asked 8 years ago by Bluetooth.
- Answer The black plug is a wireless dongle in case you are syncing to a PC/laptop instead of your phone. If you are using your phone, just pack the dongle away with the guide.

QuestionDoes it have a timer function? I have a typical sports watch that I use the timer between sets when lifting to monitor rest periods. If not, does it at least have a chrono function?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It does have a timer. The watch doesn't make any noises so all alarms (timer, alarm, incoming texts) are marked by vibration. I mention this in case you take your watch off to lift--there's no audible signature so you will have to monitor it closely. Hope that helps.

Questiondoes the fitbit moniter your blood pressuredoes it moniter your blood pressure
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No, it does not monitor blood pressure just heart rate. Fitbit.com did have a tracking option for blood pressure but it was entered manually and would chart out the historical data. Fitbit made upgrades to the tracking website this year and blood pressure tracking was eliminated all together.

QuestionFB501BKL - FITBIT SURGE - BLACK LARGEMy maximum heart rate is 157....however when I workout and my heart rate reaches 140 - 143 my heart rate reading shuts down.... I even had a friend wear my fit bit surge to see if the same thing happened to her and it did. Is there a reason why this happens?
Asked 10 years ago by CHRIS.
- Answer Chris, I have not had this happen; I actually reached 162 for a short period of time and did not have an issue. When you say "shuts down" do you mean the screen goes blank, the monitor won't show anything over 143, or the HR doesn't register at all? This may be worth checking with customer service to see if this is common. ~GolfGirlRN

QuestionDoes this product sync with your phone and if so will your calls ring in on it? Also once the phone is synced will you have to be within a close proximity of the phone to answer your calls?
Asked 7 years ago by Pauline.
- Answer it is sync and it does gets the calls I get on my cell phone. I do not think I have to be within a close proximity to get my message, if you mean answer calls with this product I would not know since I did not know it could do it if it does. I will check the guide.
