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

The award-winning Suunto Core comes in a range of stylish design options, packing easy-to-use outdoor functions in a robust construction. Combining an altimeter, barometer and compass with weather information, Suunto Core provides the essential features for adventures in the great outdoors. Designed to bring out the explorer in you.

OutdoorGearLab

The Suunto Core Alu is a classic ABC watch designed to get the basics right. It tracks total ascent and descent and offers both barometer and altimeter graphs, a compass, and a reliable, long-lasting battery. You won't be worried if you take this on a multi-day or even a multi-month mission. 
It's not filled with as many features as the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus and doesn't include a GPS. We also wish that the altitude and barometer graphs were a little sleeker. If you are looking for something a little more affordable, opt for the traditional Core, which costs a lot less. Despite its drawbacks, we figure that an altimeter watch should do one thing well—measure altitude—and that's something the Core Alu does.  

Switchback Travel

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar above is a modern sports watch complete with GPS support and smart features, but not everyone needs such a complex design (or wants to pay for it). For the best in ABC functionality without additional bells and whistles, it doesn’t get much better than the Suunto Core. Priced at $250, the Core offers top-notch accuracy with a premium barometric altimeter and packs in an impressive lineup of features, including sunset and sunrise times for more than 400 locations, alerts of changing pressure or disappearing daylight, and a seven-day altitude log for hikers. Tack on a sleek minimalist design and a wide variety of optional colors, and the Suunto Core is a true everyday multifunction watch.

The Suunto Core has been on the market for a number of years, and in that time users have seen a couple issues crop up. First, the band doesn’t always hold up well under heavy use, and a replacement piece will run you around $61 (or cheaper for a knock-off). Second, despite the large screen, some find the black background and white text difficult to read in sunlight. And finally, the Core is far from the cheapest option here—you can save money with watches like the Pro Trek PRG-270 and Lad Weather Master Sensor below, and even the GPS-equipped COROS Pace 2 is more affordable at $200. But for the best combination of quality, functionality, and durability, the Suunto Core is our favorite non-GPS altimeter watch of the year.See the Suunto Core

 The Amazon.com main image might have you think the display is a purple hue, but it is gray at all angles.  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch

 The watch needs to be removed for an accurate reading. • A tad bulky on thin wrists (not really a con, just worthy of noting for those who have smaller wrists) • Alti/Baro log review is limited by style of display. If this is a critical feature to you, I'd consider GPS watches • You can only set a single alarm. This is also such a huge oversight

  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch.

Attractive, functional watch – with needed improvements. Please rate, if helpful.

 At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery. Water resistance is decent, but no where near my Casio Mudman 9300, which was half the price and put up with a LOT more abuse. Granted, the Mudman does not have an alti/baro function, but for me those are more of a want vs. need

I was hoping to love this, but a few things bother me. The good: comfortable to wear, accurate instruments for a watch, sleek look, intuitive menus (subjective) The bad: battery life, prone to scratches/damage if used for its' intended outdoor purpose, fairly dim display even when backlit. At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery.

Good watch with some shortcomings.

 Plus I go swimming daily in the in-ground pool with the watch on without issue. The band is holding up good as new, the face of the watch has no scratches, and all of the buttons work perfectly. After three months of everyday use I have zero complaints about the watch. Glad I bought it

I've been wearing this watch for three months now. It works exactly as advertised to this point. I live in Florida and like to keep an eye on the weather when outside. The barometer function mirrors my home weather station closely

Excellent Watch

 The altimeter is a bit complicated and requires input to calibrate on a regular basis. Temperature appears to be biased by being on your arm and is not ambient. These are no big deals for me, i am enjoying the watch, and it is very comfortable to wear.
