Fitbit Surge Review

If you haven’t noticed, Fitbit has been somewhat busy of
late, evident by the trio of new products they’ve recently
announced. First up was their most affordable new offering
in the Fitbit Charge, then followed by the heart rate sensor
packing Fitbit Charge HR, which now leads us to its latest
product – the Fitbit Surge, aka the “fitness super watch.”
That’s a peculiar attachment, considering there have been a
handful of smartwatches saturating the market, but what
makes the Surge befitting of that reputation? At its core,
naturally, it’s a fitness tracker, but one that’s on steroids.
Packaging contains:
Design
This is one seriously hulky sized fitness tracker, it doesn’t
want to be discrete looking.
Unlike the discrete style of its other fitness bands, the Fitbit
Surge is a giant sized looking that screams for attention
when it’s worn. No doubt, it’s hulkier in size than anything
else the company has designed before, but it’s somewhat
necessary to give it that substantial reputation. Hardly a
surprise to us, its design is influenced by the company’s
other recent bands, the Fitbit Charge namely, as the strap
features the same textured and flexible elastomer material –
giving it that rubbery feel and sporty look.
Aesthetically, it’s a hard-lined, edgy design that favors a
contemporary look. We won’t say it’s downright ugly or
incredibly gorgeous, but rather, it’s a safe approach for
them to take. At the very least, it’s pretty comfortable to
wear for long periods of time, as it contours our wrist
perfectly and feels smooth over our skin. Available in three
colors and three sizes, its similarity to a watch is evident by
the surgical-grade stainless steel buckle it uses, which
allows us to adjust it accordingly.
On the underside of the unit, we have the unit’s proprietary
charging port and heart rate sensor. Meanwhile, the display
is flanked by a total of three physical buttons – one on the
left to switch between its menus, and another two on the
right that are also used for navigation around the interface.
