PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Train smarter and go farther with Surge—a sleek, fitness super watch designed to help you reach your peak performance. With built-in GPS, multisport functionality, and automatic, continuous heart rate, Surge delivers the stats you need to measure your effort and maximize your training time. Add activity tracking, automatic sleep detection, music control, and text and call notifications, and you have everything you need to stay connected, motivated and in the zone—no matter what goal you’re working toward. 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 • Certain features like Auto Sleep Tracking and SmartTrack may be disabled when using this accessory. Classic accessory bands are the recommended accessory for high intensity workouts and sleep tracking. • Do not wear the Flex 2 Pendant accessory while sleeping or during high intensity activity, as doing so could create a choking hazard. • Flex 2 Pendant accessories contain magnets. Magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Consult your physician and the manufacturer of your medical device before using to determine if these accessories are safe for you. If the accessories may be interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or other medical device, do not wear the accessories. 

 BUYING GUIDE 
 Move it up: Since blood increases further up your arm, wear your tracker higher on your wrist to improve the heart rate signal during workouts. Start by moving the device up to three finger widths above your wrist bone, then experiment with slightly lower placement. Keep it secure: The less your tracker moves during exercise, the more chance you have of maintaining a heart rate signal throughout the activity. Do not wear the band too tightly, as this can restrict blood flow and goes against our wear and care guidelines. Hold steady for ten seconds: High intensity exercises or activities that cause you to keep your wrist bent (like push-ups) or move your arms vigorously (like dance) may interfere with heart rate signals. If you stop seeing a signal during these types of activities, hold your wrist steady for ten seconds during breaks to get your reading.

 Now Fitbit claims upwards of seven days of battery life. I felt like it was maybe more like four and a half or five days before I was getting alerts on my inbox letting me know that my device was running low on juice. Getting and receiving notifications and inbound call notifications on it were pretty easy and actually helpful so I kind of have enjoyed having notifications right on the wrist. Now you can also set up the watch to be able to control the music player on your phone however you have to set it up using an always connected Bluetooth mode and so that tends to drain the battery of the watch just a little bit more so I found that I haven't used that feature just because it feels a little bit gimmicky

 My experience was that it was very accurate. I don't live around any tall buildings and it was a cold but otherwise clear day and so it spit back data that seemed to be very accurate and I was very pleased with how it performed. One of the other major features of this device is the heart rate monitor and it's basically an optical heart rate monitor that they call their pure pulse technology. But make no mistake it is an optical heart rate monitor similar to what the basis peak uses or the MioFuse

 The device is very well built, it's very durable. So of course like all of the other fitness trackers on the market, this device is built out of plastic and rubber and those very synthetic materials that you'll find on any device that needs to stand up to sweat and water and rain and all of those kinds of things. I was initially concerned that the glass screen would be the acculacy of this device as far as build quality and durability goes but after using it now for several days, it's a small enough screen that, and durable enough screen really, that it hasn't scratched and hasn't come into any sort of jeopardizing positions where it could have been cracked or broken. And speaking of the screen, it's very bright, you can see it in bright daylight

Fitbit Surge - Complete Review

I switched to one from the fitBit Surge a few years ago. Main complaint is that for a full marathon or longer training runs, I've found the battery with GPS on won't last, so you have to carry your phone as well for those.

How does an Apple Watch stack up against for example a Garmin Forerunner for running in general?

<div class="md"><p>How does an Apple Watch stack up against for example a Garmin Forerunner for running in general?</p>
</div>

Apple Watch for running?

[The quick answer: Not 100 percent accurate. The slightly longer answer: It's not perfect, but no calorie counter is, and Fitbit is likely as good as any.](https://mashable.com/article/how-accurate-fitbit-calorie-count)

 * A 2017 study found the Fitbit Surge had a median error of 27 percent when counting calories burned.

How do I burn 3100 cals a day when I go gym for 1.5hrs and I walk there and back which is a total of 2 hours.
 

That’s 3.5hrs of exercise

But when I’m at home and don’t go gym I lose 2.7k cals? 

So a difference of 4 hrs of exercises is 400cals?

There is no way this is accurate

  Sleep feature is nice, but not accurate. I got up this morning and walked across the house (wearing the Surge all night and this morning) and it marked me as asleep the entire time.  I still like it better than the Flex/Pebble combination, though. I like that it will display the phone calls (but if I touch it to light it up, it goes away before I can read it

.  The sleep has improved. Now it is better at recording my sleep periods.  Update: 2 Aug 2015

 Battery life seems good.  The clock seems good, as well. I was wearing a Pebble on one wrist and a FitBit flex on the other. Replaced both with the Surge

Does fairly well, except....

 Fitbit's new Surge is the company's most expensive and feature-packed tracker to date. Here's how it stacks up. Surge boasts built-in GPS, heart rate monitoring, activity tracking, phone notifications, music control and more at about $250 in three different colors. The heart rate monitor is extremely useful for working out

 The Surge's user interface can be a little counterintuitive. Some functions are controlled via swiping the screen, while others are controlled by hardware buttons on the side. All of these features come at a price. The Surge is the most expensive Fitbit wearable

 That number is an indicator of how hard or little you're pushing yourself. The GPS feature is also a plus for people who run or hike and want to conserve their phone battery for calls. The Surge's user interface can be a little counterintuitive. Some functions are controlled via swiping the screen, while others are controlled by hardware buttons on the side

Fitbit Surge | Tech Review | TIME

 Swiping right reveals your steps, with a small horizontal bar going across indicating how close you are to achieving your daily goal. The next screen is your heartbeat in real time. Next here is your estimated distance traveled, calories burned to follow, flights of stairs climbed and last it goes back to the clock. And speaking of clocks here, there's 4 different faces that you can choose from through the app here

 Out of the three bands Fitbit offers, the Surge is the biggest model. Some people may be accepting of this, considering the Surge blurs the lines of being a smartwatch and an activity band at the same time. But when placing this right next to the Charge HR, I'll be honest, it does seem quite large, and from my personal experience in regards to aesthetics, it doesn't look bad at all once you personally see it and actually wear it without any other comparisons. I don't have a huge build, but to be honest with you, it didn't look awkward on me

 With this alarm, this will silently wake you up by offering a pretty strong vibration to your wrist when it goes off. For the basics, you can set up a one-time alarm, but more beneficial for those who have a consistent work schedule, you can set up which days for it to go off. For example, the work days, Monday through Fridays here, or you can just set it up just for weekends only. It's always a great feature to have when you don't want to wake other people around you

 Next here is your estimated distance traveled, calories burned to follow, flights of stairs climbed and last it goes back to the clock. And speaking of clocks here, there's 4 different faces that you can choose from through the app here. Flare is what you've just seen here, but the other 3, Orbit, Digital, and Analog, are on your screen. So overall, the display stays on all the time, which is a huge plus, and I don't have to look down and press a button to see what time it is when I want to

There are 7 days in a week. And the fēnix® 7 multisport GPS watch is built to go strong for all of them.

Use trusted button controls or a new touchscreen interface to access selections. Gain performance insights and metrics that help you manage your exertion and build stamina.

And to complement your tamer days, connected features include smart notifications (when connected to a compatible smartphone) music storage and Garmin Pay™ contactless payments in supported countries and payment networks.

OutdoorGearLab

The Garmin Fenix 7 is the best GPS watch we've ever tested. This model is intuitive and accurate, with a battery life that'll last through most ultra-distance events. The Garmin user interface is our favorite, and the extensive feature helps improve our time outdoors without being annoying or difficult to use. We appreciate the durable design, sleek look, and bonus features like massive music storage, Garmin Pay, onboard maps, and integration with Garmin's robust online ecosystem.
While this is a great watch, the price is high, and many will find better value in other lower-priced options that don't have as many features. Taking the time to learn all about the feature options and how to set them up is a time investment as well. That said, if you can afford it, this is the best GPS watch in today's market.

Switchback Travel

Garmin’s Fenix 7 undoubtedly is expensive, but it’s hands-down the best backcountry-ready sports watch collection on the market. With a number of variations (including three sizes and Solar and Sapphire models), the powerhouse line boasts top-notch build quality and durability, a crisp and easy-to-read screen, accurate tracking for a wide array of activities, and enough advanced metrics to satisfy even the most discerning athletes. Importantly, the recently updated Fenix 7 builds off of the success of the 6 Pro with music storage, contactless pay, and far and away the best available watch-based mapping: you get preloaded maps (including detailed contour lines, trails, and geographic place names) and extensive navigation tools for activities ranging from hiking and mountaineering to trail running and skiing. And the 7 also features a touchscreen (this was one of our only gripes with the 6 Pro), quite literally putting all of these features right at your fingertips.

The biggest downsides of the Fenix 7 are cost, complexity, and weight. Prices have been increasing in general, but the $700 MSRP for the base 7 puts it out of reach for many people (the Solar version is $800, while the Sapphire Solar is $900). Moreover, the tech is overkill for someone just looking for the basics like distance covered, elevation gain, and barometric pressure. In that case, the COROS Apex above is a better option, and the revamped Instinct 2 Solar below is even more impressive in terms of solar-powered battery life (for $350 cheaper than the 7S). Finally, even in the smallest "S" form, the Fenix is on the bulky and heavy side, and you will feel the extra heft during activities like running, mountain biking, and XC skiing. But for backcountry adventurers looking for a rugged and highly capable sports watch, it’s our top choice. Of note: models of the Fenix 6 are still available (often at a discount), and it's also worth checking out the new Epix, which offers a similar feature set with a high-end AMOLED screen.See the Garmin Fenix 7

The Instinct 2 Solar gets our top pick for its durable construction and long-lasting solar power, but explorers who want top-of-the-line GPS navigation should look to Garmin’s premier multisport watch, the Fenix 7. Like the Instinct, the powerhouse Fenix includes quality ABC sensors, accurate tracking—thanks to GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite compatibility—and features like wrist-based heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. Importantly, the Fenix 7 (available in standard, sapphire, and solar versions) also has the best available wrist-based mapping: detailed contour lines and extensive navigation tools that excel for activities ranging from hiking and mountaineering to trail running and skiing. Finally, while not quite up to snuff with the Instinct 2 Solar, the latest version of the Fenix also got a serious bump in battery life, which is helpful for extended trips.

The biggest downsides of the Fenix 7 are cost, complexity, and weight. Considering that you can get a capable altimeter watch for less than $200, the $700 MSRP for the Fenix will put it out of reach for many (the solar edition is $800, while the sapphire model will run you $900). What’s more, the tech is overkill for someone just looking for the basics like barometric pressure, elevation, and temperature—and when it comes to getting the most out of your altimeter watch, sometimes less is more. Finally, even in the smallest “S” form, the Fenix is on the heavy side due to its stainless steel build, and you’ll feel the extra heft during activities like running. But if you value the Garmin’s slick navigational features and don’t mind paying for extras like WiFi support and music storage, it’s one heck of an altimeter watch.See the Garmin Fenix 7  See the Garmin Fenix 7S

Best GPS Watch of 2022 - GearLab

 Before with the F6x, it would take a few steps to lock out in the open.  Out of the box, my F7x was on the 7.20 firmware. Earlier this week while sitting at my desk, I received a vibrate alert and the message onscreen said it was upgrading to new 7

20 firmware. Earlier this week while sitting at my desk, I received a vibrate alert and the message onscreen said it was upgrading to new 7.24 firmware. It took only a few seconds and it rebooted the watch

 With it fully charged and all sensors on, it said 20-day battery life. Simply amazing. My F6x on a full charge said it would last 10 days but it worked out to be only 5. The big dip came when Sleep Score was introduced but it could have been the battery was on its way out

 The F7x does not disappoint with battery… until I saw the Instinct 2 Solar specs. I pulled it out of the box on 1/26 at 80% charge and only charged it on 2/10 when it reached 20%. With it fully charged and all sensors on, it said 20-day battery life. Simply amazing

Amazing watch with nothing missed from older models

Battery life is great, tracking is excellent, and I'm really impressed by everything it does and how well. Also a huge fan of the transflective screen vs AMOLED. Indoors, it looks like a normal watch and not my phone. In bed, I can check it without being blinded

Perfect, except the music player

 I really want to give this 5 stars.  THE ONLY ISSUE is the fitness tracker/recommendations. I have been working out A TON ever since I got this, which was sort of the point. This watch wants me to slow down and do more "low aerobic" activities

 I have been working out A TON ever since I got this, which was sort of the point. This watch wants me to slow down and do more "low aerobic" activities. As a result, for two weeks it has been warning me I'm "unproductive" and my stats (VO2 max and heat acclimation) have backslid inexplicably even though I'm working out all the damn time (in summer heat, no less). Sure, I may be overdoing it a little, but this watch can't seriously think I'm trending backward in terms of my fitness level

 Battery life is superb. Super easy to use, and they seem to have thought of everything (example: turning off touch screen while you're recording an exercise activity but still allowing scrolling/functionality with intuitive button presses). The data collected are really helpful, especially if you sync them with Strava (subscription costs extra). I bought the HRM-one heart rate monitor to pair with it and it works very well

Probably Deserves 5, But...
