Love this watch, perfect for resistance training! Tracks my workout perfectly, and also helps me keep track of my sleeping patterns!

My Fit Bit Surge is helping me track my fitness goals. It helps you watch your calories so I can become more aware of the calories I am I taking in. It also tracks my exercise, heart rate, and sleep activity. This is a great tool for any one with heart trouble and sleep apnea.

I was looking at the Apple Watch and the Surge. Although there were features I liked about the Apple Watch, it was more than what I needed. This device, the Surge, gives me the feedback I wanted plus more. It is nice to see who is calling or who is texting. This surge is perfect for the person that doesn't want to spend the money on something they won't use, this one, you will.

The Surge has made it fun to monitor my activity and rest. It also helps track my calorie intake which has helped me understand the impact of the not so casual snacking. This is a great tool for tracking activity and the GPS makes exercise memorable.

Great sports watch to keep up with any kind of activity and to monitor and improve your health.

The surge has performed very well. I like that it senses sleep well, the heart rate monitor was a key function I sought and it delivers on it. The gps tracking when exercising is great, I like the dashboard and the ability to look back and I also see additional functions (track food, water) that I will use in the future. Small downside to the device is its profile on the wrist, where it sits higher on one side of the device... Small inconvenience from time to time.

So far this has been a fun watch to use, yes I said fun. It has many features that find myself using daily. One for instance is the sleep tracking. I am able to see how well I'm sleeping, how long I sleep for and how many interruptions I have through out the night. This to me is a very cool feature. But probably the most talked about would be the heart rate monitor. It seems to work pretty good as in keeping track instantly of your heart rate but I have only compared it to a couple devices at the gym and was 50/50 on Comparison. But to me it seems more important that it consistently tracks my high and low range so that I can train in bpm I want.. over all I am pleased with the heart rate monitoring specially since you don't have to wear a chest strap... the one main negative I have for the watch is that it doesn't offer cycling/mountain biking training in the exercising apps. But FROM the forums this seems like something they are working on and will probably be available to up load. One last thing gps works great on all activities that I have tried..

This watch is great for fitness. Tracks heart rate, sleep patterns, steps, exercises and run or walks with GPS. No longer need an extra app to track my runs. Not for people looking for a smart watch. This is strictly for people interested in fitness. The screen is similar to a gameboy screen which keeps it simple and straightforward, i like it.

I love the text message notifications. Feels great. Clock Face options are good. Sleep tracker is good. Heart rate is good but not completely accurate. I use the timer and alarm constantly... Way quicker then using my phone. Syncing to my phone is easy. Great exercise tracking options and i love the swipe screen. Improvements in the battery life are needed and the screen could be more vivd and brighter. A more accurate hear Rate Reading would be excellent. Hopefully Fit bit will make some of these improvements in the next one. Overall... Happy.

For a while, I had been looking at multiple smart watches and fitness bands to see which one would best suit me. I finally decided to get the Fitbit surge and purchased it at my local Best Buy. As soon as I put it on it felt comfortable, I usually don't wear watched but it only took me a little while to get used to something on my wrist. The battery life is great, I charge it when I shower and never have low battery. The gps and all the fitness tracking features are awesome, I love seeing how many steps I've done throughout the day. The one thing that really bugged me was that I started getting a rash on my wrist from wearing the surge. It got really red and itchy and Fitbit only recommended to stop using the product for a while, it's an expensive product I just wasn't gonna put it away. After a while my skin rash went away and every now and then it'll come back. It's really important to keep the band dry to prevent any moisture on the wrist. That's the only flaw, other than that it's great! I love my Fitbit!

This Fitbit really does work to motivate you to keep moving and hit your fitness goals. Heart monitor works well and the item tracks equivalent stair cases using it's built in altimeter. Tracks sleep if you wear it to bed, Sends messages to mobile phone to encourage you to get in your steps daily and send awards for achievements like 50 or 75 staircases in a day. It sounds hokey, but it does motivate. Only downside is band which is a bit sweaty and not replaceable

The Fitbit Surge has been very accurate in monitoring my heart rate, how many steps I take while walking, as well as how many flights of stairs. I like how it tracks my sleeping patters and how I can compete with others who have Fitbits to bet goals. I think it is great that I can also link my iPhone with it and check out my progress there. It has been convenient to see text notifications when I receive them.

I bought this knowing it had some limitations such as occasionally unreliable heart rate info and not really being a water proof device, but I like the online FitBit environment so I decided to go with it. It has really exceeded my expectations. It's a great jump up from my Flex and I love the sleep tracking. The GPS is quick and as reliable as the GPS on my phone.

I have tried several brands in the Fitbit family since my Nice+ Sports Watch died. The Surge has an automatic sleep tracker, tracks your steps, heart rate, miles, calories, floors climbed. It also tracks your runs, and your exercise. It tracks your sleep quality to see how much sleep vs how restless you were during the night. The surge will track your steps whether you are wearing on your wrist or in your pocket. The battery only stays charged for about 4 - 5 days. The stair counter is not always accurate. Sometime it detects more stairs or less stairs then you actually did. I just try harder. This has a nice GPS feature. Sometime The Surge will automatically detect if you are riding a bike or on some type of exercise. Fitbit finally did it right, when they made the Surge.

I was skeptical about fitbits before my purchase. I read all of the reviews before purchasing and figured I could get most of the features through various apps or devices on my smartphone. After a week of using it and the fitbit app, I've realized that having all of the features (sleep tracking, step counting, heart rate, GPS, calorie tracking) in one app make it very convenient to set goals for improvement in my unhealthy habits. My only complaint is that the charger is very loose on my fitbit surge and pops off easily, even when i am setting it down on my bed to shower... Maybe I have a dud?

So, I upgraded from the Charge to the Surge. I did this because I would have to wear a watch along with the Charge to ensure that I didn't drain the battery constantly looking at the time. I love the Surge's multiple screen changes. I love the fact that I can track my heart rate, steps, different activities, stairs, miles, but what I'm most disappointed about is the battery life. I get about 4 days of charge before having to plug it up. It's quite frustrating! I'm not syncing automatically.....I don't have the backlight or the music feature on.....but still just 4 days. I keep it solely because I have one thing on my arm as opposed to two. One thing I will tell you....make sure that you purchase a screen protector as it has saved me from having a scratched up device.

Still getting accustomed to it... it's pretty big on my arm....but love the detail provided...and best of all...love that I don't need to monitor it to make sure the step counter got put in pause due to it's in sleep mode or paused itself like the galaxy did... love, love that it monitors my sleep automatically without me having to activate it.... and love the fitbit app with all it's tracking features... the history etc...and the camaraderie and motivation I get in watching my steps compare with friends - Only thing I wish is I could switch out the band surrounding it like I could with the gear fit... according to my mood or season.... it's huge and would've been nice to be able to change out the band to fit my personality more or girl it up some.

This has helped get me motivated to move by tracking my activities and reminding me if I am close to my goal. It tracks steps, sleep, heart rate, stairs climbed and various fitness activities. It is very easy to get started using. It is comfortable as well as stylish.

I purchased the Fitbit Surge. I like it because it serves the main purpose as a nice watch. But it tells me the number of steps taken in a day, gives me my heart rate, can monitor my sleeping patterns, calculates the number of miles completed, calculates the number of calories burnt, and sends me e-mails on my progress.

I was looking for a better way to keep track of my fitness and health. The Surge does that very well. I can track all my activities as I do them or enter them later. It coordinates all the information to give an overview. Wish the battery lasted longer and it is a bulky to wear but very happy I made the purchase.
