Is the Fitbit surge like any other gps watch?

Does it tell you how fast/ far you are running when you are actually on the run? Does it do both miles and km? Does it vibrate when you hit eg each k or each mile? Is it any good?

Yes, yes and yes! I love mine, it also monitors heart rate without having to wear a chest strap, and records elevation too so you can see how hilly your route is!

I used to have a dedicated Garmin running watch and the Surge does everything that did plus cake normal tracking like a basic Fitbit does on top of that.

Not sure where that cake came from Grin

Now I'm trying to work out how to get cake on the Fitbit app! Cake

Thank you. I might just get one now. Does it tell the time too?!!

It does! And counts steps, flights of stairs, calories burned, and heart rate even when not in GPS mode :)

Wow!!

Is it really big to wear all the time? Do you sleep wearing it?

I wear mine all the time - it tracks sleep too and I love getting lots of little graphs - I don't find it really big as the strap is really soft and it's quite comfortable (especially compared to my clunky old Garmin, I felt daft in that even on a run!).

Does it need a charger?

I love mine. It has a charger that plugs into the mains. I charge mine whilst I'm having a bath every day.

Tried to five Argos some money for it today but somehow they kept crashing and I still haven't placed an order ☹

Is there a reason my iPhone would start to use all its data allowance as a result of having the Fitbit surge? I never use the allowance but suddenly j have used 80% of it two days after getting one?
