After a couple of months of wearing the Fitbit Surge and loving its monitoring functions, I developed severe pain and a swelling in my left arm where the watch was placed.
Love the function, fit and feel of this watch but am disappointed with the band durability
I love wearing it, and all it's functions and synch-ability with my phone and computer
The Fitbit Surge, script is much larger than others, I love to be able to monitor my heartbeat with just a swipe, many great other functions too, love the new Tangerine color, and the band with a latch.
At the one year anniversary of setting it up, it began to lose function, to the day.
Their was not an extended warranty option, so I had to plead, with the fact that having to pay $250 a year for a new device wasn't sustainable.
I absolutely love my surge, the only drawback is the fact that the band cannot be changed out.

I run 5k a couple of times and week and love the fact that this has the GPRS inbuilt, with the heart rate monitor, It has replaced my Garmin Forerunner 305, with a hear rate chest strap
Love the fact that every week I get an update on how many hours of sleep he gets, along with how much walking, etc.
This trackers have an evident design Flaw in the Straps, serious quality issues and the damaged straps are nor replaceable
The Surge is a decent fitness tracker except that the bands bubble up and look terrible in short order
My wife has the charge and it has a clip that holds the cable in place to charge instead of the plug (way better design) also the sleep tracker does not track rem sleep like some of the less expensive trackers.
I have no complaints with this fine fitness tracker and excellent app.
So I have had this watch for almost 2 years and it has been a good fitness tracker, gps works
GPS use drains your battery very quickly, but that's normal with any watch.
The Fitbit customer service agent was very eager to say that the battery is bad and that I should go for a new watch pushing to invest another $200+ on their product
I live that the gps is built in so long runs with music on your phone aren't draining the battery to also use
the blazeand it's battery stopped working and again horrible customer support!!!
I wish it had a better battery life, but I still wear it to this day
Very difficult to stop the time when finished with exercise, so my timing is not accurate
This time, not only did the band start to bubble after about 7-8 months, but the screens wouldn't swipe any longer and I would have to hard reset the watch just to be able to track my workouts
I had a hard time getiing it to stay paired with my phone
By late October of 2016 I returned my first watch to the store because it could not maintain proper time, step or mileage
Please do not waste your time or money eith this watch or company.
Besides that the display is difficult to read, and hard to control it with sweaty fingers.
It was running well until a week ago, no display at all.
water resistant but cannot wear it in the shower or swim with it... display is dim and small which makes it hard to read while running/biking... lastly the band is not replaceable and have already had to exchange it once be cause the band began to separate.... if Fitbit wants to be anything more than an everyday fitness tracker and appeal to athletes then a redesign should be considered.
Also, it has many more features and a bright color display.
