Fitbit Surge Fitness Super Watch – Works well, but design flaw lets it down.

I previously had the fitbit flex but wanted to upgrade and this is pretty much perfect for me. The exercise tracking settings are great as are the general settings like step count, floors climbed, calories burned etc. I’ve found it to be mostly accurate at tracking all these things and in particular with the heart rate which is far more accurate than i expected. The fit of the watch itself is really nice, the buckle clasp feels really secure and it fits nicely on my wrist. I have a fairly small wrist but the watch is very comfortable and i like the size of it; i quite like how big it is and that its quite masculine but i can understand how maybe that’s not for everyone. The display is easy to read in all lighting levels, bright sunlight and at night when the back-light comes on when you touch the screen. The battery lasts about a week for me as i have the heart rate monitor constantly going but this doesn’t bother me and it only takes about and hour and half to two hrs to fully recharge. The silent alarms work brilliantly too and ensure i don’t wake up the rest of my housemates when i get up early to workout and also help me set discreet reminders for during the day to take medications etc. It lasted very well through vigorous workouts and the screen has no scratches but i have noticed that the strap has started to bubble slightly which is something others have mentioned too but at the moment its purely only a cosmetic fault so i’m not too concerned but will contact customer services if it gets worse as i would hate to lose this watch as i love it so much.

Struggled with this product to be honest. There are many pros, but there are some glaring cons. I bought this back in august 2016, and it was a really easy set up. Connected to my iphone with no problems. The app is great, very clear, nice easy way of tracking exercise, calories and steps. It looks really nice, and fit perfectly. The plastic strap is comfortable and feels strong. The screen is good and clear, but i had to turn off the ‘automatic light up’ function, because if i moved my arm in the night, i was suddenly woken up by a blue light filling my room (let’s just say, it felt like ‘close encounters of the first kind’). Overall, user friendly and great exercise tracker. Now for the con, and it is a large one.

Here are the specifications for the Fitbit Surge Fitness Super Watch:

  • Maximise training, maintain intensity and monitor calorie burn with automatic wrist-based heart rate monitoring
  • Surge automatically monitors how long and how well you sleep

TOPsic Compatible Garmin Fenix 5 Straps : Great

I couldn’t stand the silicon band that came with my 935. Softer and fits better for my smaller wrist. Soak them in vinegar water for overnight to take out the smell. Fits perfect and the price is right. Don’t know why people are saying poor quality. Feels and looks like the original. Great straps to switch in — almost identical to the actual straps that come with the watch, though perhaps a very very slight bit more flexible/softer. Great straps and will be buying other colors as well. No reason to buy from garmin and spend >2x as much, these are great. Close to a garmin original but half the price. Catches work well on my fenix5 – look like the original which fell apart after 2 years. No issues with the 40-50 activities i’ve done since buying (cross bike/running). Will look to buy again if i need any more. Good fit and looks good now have yellow and blue :). Like that it arrived with tools required – easy to fit. Fits great, and very secure. I got the neon green one for biki...

Samsung Mobile UK Qi Quick Charging Station – If bought for a note 7 ensure you have a compatible quick charge wire for the dock

Do need to buy compatible wire separately which i was expecting and brought in advance. Can place fingers around charger to use phone and charge at same time. Ok but doesn’t come with a cable or plug. Great samsung galaxy qi wireless charging stand. Works perfectly after using it for a couple of months. Easy and straightforward charges my samsung s6 phone just over 2 hours from 0 battery life. Blue led indicator lights up whilst on charge and when fully charged led light turns green. Purchased from amazon directly. I love being able to see the time without picking up my phone or who’s calling or the date. I love not having to plug it in or out every time i want to use it/charge it. It’s white matching my desk and my other wireless charger and stops the cable always falling down the back. The blue light is a little bright for the bedroom but sort of acts as a night light. It takes a little longer to charge than the cable, even as a fast charger, but it’s an acceptable level. Buying...
