Review: FitBit Surge Fitness Watch The FitBit Surge seems to be a jack of all trades, master of none. Yes, it has GPS tracking capability, but I am convinced data points such as elevation gained are inaccurate. For instance, on one ride I know involves more than 4000 vertical feet of climbing, the Surge reported 2250 vertical feet.

I get mine 35% off because I work for a cellular provider. I think I might try it. I drowned my charge.
just so you know and i know this video is old now so the site might have changed but they say if you use the gps it reduces the battery life. never using the gps you should get about 7 days but if you turn the gps on you get about 10 hrs of gps use
is the surge safe because i have seen people with rash from the watch
been researching. I noticed on another review of yours, you stated that the Charge stopwatch does not time laps. Does the surge have that capability?
Lousy quality product from FItbit. Within a year the button unable to function. After get a replacement, less than a year the bluetooth system fail. The device unable to sync. Really disappointed with the quality Fitbit product. Not worth the value at all.
I went swimming with the watch on and the screen backlit was gone..So not complete waterproof. Good news is the Fitbit replaced my watch without any cost or much investigation..
Thanks for review. You didn’t mention, Fitbit needs to be worn 3 fingers away from your wrist for workout. I thought that’s a bit lame and uncomfortable
All my Fitbits have broken. They are all garbage poorly made crap. Their product is shit and their stock price reflects thAt
Hi Techy Agent,
Thank you for your detailed review! I’m torn between purchasing the Fitbit Surge and the Garmin Vivosmart HR.
What I’m looking for is:
1. 24/7 HR Tracking Activity Find out how much calories I burn throughout the day.
2. Weight lifting
3. Martial Art (Optional)
Which one would you pick? Fitbit Surge or Garmin Vivosmart HR?
I’m leaning towards the Vivosmart HR, but just wanted to hear your opinion.
what are all the different exercises can the fitbit surge track? for example running and spinning. but can it track things like cross trainer and stuff.
What i am trying to say is what are ALL the activity’s it can track accurately.
i love mine. however the band is crap and not interchangeable. mine had huge chunks off it. very difficult to get bestbuy to replace it.
May I thank you for all of your videos. I have spent 2 days reading about fitness trackers and watches-reviews, specs, etc etc. It got to a point where I need to chart my findings for comparison. I understand that I just won’t be able to get the few basic things I wanted-splash resistant, comfort, reminder to move, heart rate, steps and miles. Nothing comes with all of that. I watched all of your videos and wish I found them before, You are so clear and concise. You say what we need to know. Most often I go to reviews and the first 1/3 of the video is the person talking about themselves or personal subjective opinions. I think they like to hear their own voices. You cut right to the chase. You offer facts right away and helpful things to know like the info on the charging cable. Keep doing what you do. Thank you for saving us time and being so informative especially to us non-tech people.
hey guys… my surge does scroll back to the main clock face after about 5 seconds of being on the HR or steps view
I do not like the fitbit surge but i do like the blaze can you make a video of the blaze i would like,it and please make it. A very deep review
Do you think this screen and/or the edge of the screen is more durable than the blaze?
I`m about to buy Garmin VivoSmart. Which one should I go for, Fitbit Surge or Garmin Vivosmart? I was kind of sure of what I wanted to buy, but after watching your video, I just don`t know anymore.
I was think on this device to improve my development has a runner, how accurate is the HRM? Wouldbyou recommend this for HR Zones trainning?
Mr. RizKnows
First, THANK YOU SO MUCH For Your Video On The FitBit Surge WoW❣️
Googled Reviews On YouTube And Your Account Came Up. I Was Curious About So Many Features That The Un-“Informational Video” Provided By FitBit.com Did Not Explain. FitBit’s Was More Of A Commercial To Buy Not Explain. I Know That A Future Purchase Of This Device Is Still The Best Option For My Activity Lifestyle.
Second, On Your Videos, Try Panning Out A Little More {Center The Camera} So The Viewer Can Actually See The Device Or Displays ‘Fully’ That You Are Speaking Of. Several Were Cut In Half Or Slightly Off The Screen; Like Your Lovely Face In Some Areas Of The Video. Just Slightly OCD For Me ��
��Thanks Again For The Super Job On Reviews #Peace #Love #LiveLife #GoPro
Appreciate the videos! Check out some of my stuff if you get a chance. I think the online fitness community really needs a change and break from the unrealistic standards and unbalanced approach that seems to be the criterion today.
Great video, thank you for your positive energy.
Blessings and Love,
Dashama
Do you have a video on how to use the gps features of the surge? Can you map your walk without having to use the phone app at the same time?
How do you charge this device? And must you own a laptop in order to use it and help track all the workouts??
Hey Guys Just started a post on fitbit community about the Surge Feedback please go check it out It would help this great product improve!!
Thanks for the review, it was really helpful. Forget the Apple Watch, I’m getting the Surge.��
I referee soccer matches and I was wondering what you think would be the best watch for what I want…I like the large, noticeable band for looks…I definitely would like the following info…Steps, Calories Burned, HR monitor, Distance Traveled, and DEFINITELY a GPS so that I can view runs outside of soccer, plus field coverage during my games…After viewing this video, I’m very interested in buying this watch, however, is there something cheaper that’ll do the same as I’m searching for??? Thanks ahead of time!!!
Hi Ryan, the message’s delete themselves after you get 7 text messages!
FYI It does have cycling You have to go into the fit bit mobile and select it as 1 of 5 exercises.
Any idea how the gps works off the beaten path? I’m considering one for single track mountain biking.
They added Bike in the latest firmware update. You just need to go into the app and add the shortcut to make it show up on your watch
I love your videos. would you consider comparing the Fibit surge & the Polar M400? I’m torn between the two. thanks!
Is the Fitbit surge hr accurate at higher bpm’s if worn higher up on the wrist?
hey riz. I’m from Sacramento to and just came across your channel. awesome reviews. I just got the surge and it is working great so far. I also just saw a review for the Polar m400 and starting to get mixed feelings about the fitbit surge. I do resistance training 3-4 times a week and run about 3 times a week. is the surge still best for me or should I got with polar? it seems like the Polar chest heart rate monitor is more accurate but I don’t know how much more.
Just got tuned into your videos and you’re doing great work, congrats. I like that you talk fast and accurately without pauses and you keep it moving. Just wondering if you’ve also done an update on the Peak Basis since last year and whether you would recommend the Peak over the re-designed Surge? Thanks a million and keep up the great videos!
hey riz! what’s the best fitness tracker for people who lift weights?
Does this need wifi connection for it to work? Say if I’m away from home would it still work normally? Just with no phone connection
Does your Fitbit sometimes show two horizontal lines for heart rate when you work out?
Do you think there have been any updates to the device?
Also what would you recommend as a better device? I am currently considering buying either the Charge HR or Surge not sure about the other devices out there.
PS i think your videos are the most useful among all the ones I have seen so far crisp and concise keep it coming!
Great review…. I like the practical suggestions especially that you cannot default the clock after a timed interval.
im looking for a cheap gps running, maybe multi sport running watch. out of the three. tomtom spark/runner models, cheaper garmin models and the surge, which ones do the best job?
Is it possible that some just stole your review? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbT-1N6MQHM
First I just wanted to say your review are very good. And I was wonder Which fitness tracker would you recommend for those are just going to use it for running?
If your running laps, there is a lap mode but does it recognised when you complete the lap with the GPS or do you have to click a button on completing a lap?
I don’t have a phone just a iPad and iPod can the gps still track without a phone? PLEASE ANWSER QUICK!
Should i get the FitBit Surge or the FitBit Charge HR if I am 15 and go to school etc? Thanks
I’m surprised that your heart rate is above 158. An active athlete will have much lower heart rate. 158+ is what you expect when someone who just got out of the couch for the first time and started running. Or may be you were doing extreme workout though it seemed like you were just running. May be sprinting? (cardio type quick burst race and rest )
Watch my Fitbit Surge Review #2!!! https://youtu.be/Xcs-AqUrrGo
what.. your back lol glade to see you back on here man! hit me up
will you plz help me? which is best to buy charge 2 or surge.??
Thank you for this. I currently have the fitbit flex. I was looking at getting the surge and was worried about the HR monitor but you have done a very good review. Will buy one thanks to this review!
This Watch is is garbage and i hate that Pebble got disclosed, because they made awesome watches for a fair price. A touchscreen on a clock is one of the most worthless feature in the whole “smartwatch” stuff. Mostly people wear a clock for asthetic reasons where a clock, no matter how much it was, does not look better than a china rip-off due to fingerprints.
Great videos! QUICK REQUEST: Would you mind putting links in your description for other notable competitors (ig: video reviews on your channel and/or Amazon)? This way I can remember what other items to check out as I search for the PERFECT buy!:) thanks!
Very good review!Can you tell me what connection is needed for caller ID application, bluetooth or wirelless?I am asking you because i am using handsfree bluetooth sony SBH50 and i beleive that i can’t use both of them with bluetooth connection.
Finally i want to ask you if pedometer be good for my tennis sport!Thank you!!
Enjoyed the review!
I’m on my feet all day at work and walk a ton, if I understand what you were doing it can distinguish these steps from an actual run? Did you let it keep a Blue Tooth connection to your phone all the time or just do periodic data dumps? Any concerns about durability?
Best reviewer on tech by far. amazing style! I can watch these reviews all day even if I cant
afford the products. its such a good production!Well Done
Thank you techy agent my stepdad got this watch and I had to help him learn how to operate it and this video significantly helped me
Hey Jim, that was very helpful, one thing I wondered about was in changing music tracks whilst working out? I use Google Play Music and wondered if it was possible to change tracks/pause etc between the app and this fitbit? thanks
who said they fixed the skin problems and how did they obtain the data. nice watch had a reaction after the 1st day.
Are the updates related to sofware/firmware only? or is the hardware itself updated?
Thanks for your review. Just bought one and I can’t wait to start using it. The GPS in the Surge was the deciding factor for me.
Question… What is your opinion on using it for HIIT workouts. Such as punching on the bag, running doing box jumps and some kettle bell work?
does it need to be in a certain distance to the phone to be able to access texts?
Great video. I also have a Fitbit Surge and although it has some glitches, like you said it is a keeper. I have also noticed my Surge picks up steps while riding in my car. I turn it off when getting in car but sometimes forget to turn it back on when getting out of the car. Love being able to track my walks. In my opinion walking in GPS mode gives more accurate distance calculation.
Great informative review. I know everything I need to know to make an informed decision. Thank you.
Great review! I’m currently In the process of wanting to upgrade from the Fitbit Ultra to the Surge. I tried the Fitbit Charge, but wasn’t happy with the band and the Surge seems like It would be quite fitting band wise. I was curious as to all the options the Surge had available and this review answered all those questions.
Great video! Have a question! What about shooting basketball and cardio fitness workouts
You can’t submerge it, the liquid will leave the heart rate monitor inaccurate.
I just bought the Surge and I am really happy with it so far. I have had it 3 weeks. I have two questions: how has the durability been (ie: screen scratching?) This is a HUGE concern of mine. I just bought IQ shield to alleviate this concern. I see a “Bike” exercise available. Does this mean that the Surge now tracks cycling via GPS? I mainly use it for my runs as I am training for my first 5K in September. I also love the “weights” workout tracking as well. I also have the Flex, which I have had for over 2 years. I love that I can alternate between the two and not lose my steps as the app allows me to switch back and forth. Will you update your video with the biking information?
Got one for christmas and it has already taken in water from wearing it while i washed my car, no submersion. just outside washing my car, came in and took watch off to dry me and the watch off and its hosed… screen has water behind it…contacted FITBIT and got a email stating it is NOT COVERED. 1 week old, wearing while going about my day, 250 bucks down the drain
what are all the different exercises can the fitbit surge track? for example running and spinning. but can it track things like cross trainer and stuff.
What i am trying to say is what are ALL the activity’s it can track accurately.
I want a Fitbit that can display weather. Is the only one that can do that the ionic?
I just want a fitness band that has a GPS chip to track my running activities. I don’t want to carry my HUGE phone with me. What do you suggest please?
Seems to be conflicting info on if it’s waterproof and also whether there’s a cycling mode?
This is the most stupid thing ive seen lately,so you people need a tech thing to tell you if your heart beats faster you will burn more carbs,OBVIOUS to most people!
Hey Jim, my Surge defaults back to the clock after about 15 seconds. Is there a way to set it up so it will always shows my heart rate and not go back to the clock?
Read somewhere that cycling was removed. Any confirmation on that or if cycling is now supported?
Guess one thing the Surge has is a longer battery life than the Charge HR. Am still undecided on the two. Not had a fitness tracker before, but an HRM is something I highly desire. As for GPS/Compass my smartphone does that, and I have a basic Garmin GPS too for tracking and batteries last 24 hours. So perhaps the Charge HR is a better choice past the extra water resistance.
Does rain effect the Charge HR more than the Surge, or about the same?
And lastly I was really upset when I found that Fitbit dropped the ball for those of us with larger wrists. I know of working men, body builders, and huskier folks have larger wrists, and Fitbit has decided to exclude these demographics from being their customer.
Well, I did a Google search for “fitbit band extension” and found an local entrepreneur from Boise that has created 2 & 4 inch extensions. So now there is hope!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleBarR?ref=l2-shopheader-name
Hey there! great review. While in run mode, can the surge take splits? if so how many?
Also, if you turn the watch face “upside down”, ie, the face is on the underside of your wrist, the Heart Rate Monitor is way more accurate
So will the Surge sync wirelessly to your phone or do you need to hook it up to your computer to view daily stats/workouts?
i have one, and it is a buggy mess.
Jasmine Masters would say: Just as i thought… TRASH!
Do you know if a new fitbit watch is comming out soon?
What do you think, garmin vivoactive or the fitbit surge?
I’m an athlete and I run around 100km each week both intervalls example 10x200m etc and half marathons. Please help!!:D
Hi guys I have a question about the gps option please. Is there an option. To turn the gps monitoring off on the surge? Thank you
wrist rash after 1st. day, use only for tracking and timing events etc.
I have the fitbit surge and so far I love it. It’s nice to have a tracker that does its job and you don’t have to ask it to. It surprised me that it’s like the watch knows when you fall asleep and that’s cool. Sometimes with the heart sensing it can fall behind but it will catch up and for the most part the calorie burn count seems accurate. Battery life does seem to be really good also.
I need to know if this thing is ideal for indoor training in a gym using various equipment. How would one monitor calories burnt during a weight training session
I’ve had the surge for two weeks now. I’d just like to add to your point about accuracy of steps, like you it does seem to pick up movement while I’m driving, but also while I’m sleeping, all values reset at midnight but I find in the morning I’ve walked 100 steps in my sleep sometimes:) (I don’t sleepwalk) overall though it is a fantastic device! I would recommend it, for your workouts it is brilliant! The GPS has been great, the sleep monitoring is good, it tells you all you really need to know (in my opinion) and it’s very comfortable, I’ve had smart watches which are bulky but with the surge you ofen forget it’s there! I love it!:)
Thanks for the review. I won’t buying any Fitbit’s yet, but I have to decided which one is better. I was going to go with the flex until they upgraded.
@Techy Agent got mine couple of days ago..so do you think I can go go swimming with #fitbit #surge on?
Wow thanks for the insights! i was stuck between this and MioFuse, their band is 150 and way more refined for comfortable wear. i agree with your assesment on touchscreen getting in the way on surge. it also looks dull, poorly designed interface
Got one for christmas and it has already taken in water from wearing it while i washed my car, no submersion. just outside washing my car, came in and took watch off to dry me and the watch off and its hosed… screen has water behind it…contacted FITBIT and got a email stating it is NOT COVERED. 1 week old, wearing while going about my day, 250 bucks down the drain
Thanks the video.
I have Charge HR. Fitbit Charge HR also shows time. But screen is always off. If you want to see time then you need to tap it’s screen or press the button. Is Surge’s screen always on?
I intend to purchase a Fitness tracker cum smartwatch.I am confused between Apple watch,Fitbit Surge and Basis peak.Could you please suggest me one?My priority is a good fitness tracker band with HRM and sleep tracking.Also,suggest me some other models
@Jims I have Garmin fenix 3 but I need a fitness smart watch with wrist based heart rate, GPS inbuilt and always on display. what do you suggest.
Thinking about getting the fitbit surge. I have a 8.8 inch and the XL only has 8.9 I wouldn’t have much wiggle room. any ideas or suggestions on if i should stay the course or look else where? Thanks
good review brah, but how well does the surge track weightlifting workouts?
What information is given on the watch when using on a stationary exercise bike?
Hi! Thank you for your video, it was great. It was extremely helpful. However, I’m just wondering if one can see calories burned real time or do I have to wait until after the workout or even after syncing?
Hey, Was anyone able to set up text alerts on samsung galaxy s6 edge plus. I have tried a lot but i am unable to make it work
Does anyone know if this Surge Screen can get Brighter? It is difficult to see at times. The other Fitbit’s turn much brighter when turning your wrist for viewing.
I’ve been using the Fitbit Surge for about a week, but I’m really using it as a heart.monitor. Tonight, the firmware update showed up. Now it reverts to the clock screen after 10 seconfs, making it just a cheap looking and ugly watch, to me.
Awesome video in your opinion do you think I should wait and get the apple watch or get this
ik heb deze Fitbit Surge mijn batterij leeg daarna krijg klok niet meer juiste tijd en datum ook geen set up of tracker
Do these come in various colours? Right now in Australia we seem to only have the black one available at retail outlets but would love a different a colour!
So you can’t use it for swimming and Triathlons? I find it a pain to have to remember to keep taking off your watch for a quick shower at the gym.
Great video thanks. Do you think this device could accurately track total distance ran while playing tennis? Thanks!
Can you tell me how did you make the main display not change back to the time automatically? Mine will change back all the time and I don’t like that!!!

Excellent review “Surge will soon track cycling” Excellent news Thank you:)
RizKnows this or the garmin vivosmart hr? Please respond, btw really great video.
I’m 14 and want to begin working out properly and possibly running down the line should I buy this or a cheaper option?
