QuestionIs the fitbit surge water/sweat proof?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Definitely sweat proof, I wouldn't wear it in the shower and would try to keep it from getting too wet other wise. I wear mine all day every day except the shower and I'm fine. (I'm a nurse so for example I was my hands an ungodly amount of time per day and have never had a problem)

QuestionBatteryWhat kind of battery does it take or does it plug in to charge. How long does a battery last.
Asked 10 years ago by golfer.
- Answer The battery is built in. Just be sure you have your charging cable handy if you're using any fitness training program. Regular use it'll last one week. GPS tracking exercises like a jog around the park, 5 hours.

QuestionSizeNeed help determining the size how do you determine the size that you need - small or large
Asked 10 years ago by Shay.
- Answer I have small wrists but bought the large as I read that it should be loose for certain workouts. There are plenty of holes of adjustment so it will not be too big. Also, I use my original Fitbit Flex to keep the Surge in the proper position, which is supposed to be a finger width or two above your wrist.

Questionwater proofis the surge waterproof

- Answer No just sweat/water resistant. Water proof means it can be submerged. Resistant allows only a little wetness. Only damp cloth to clean and no soap.

QuestionWatch VisibilityIs the time always visible or does it require a button press or screen tap to activate/show the time?
Asked 10 years ago by Chris.
- Answer No the time is not always visible - given it retains the last viewed screen (e.g. if you last viewed steps it stays on steps). It's as easy as pressing the home button twice to return to the time screen no matter which screen you are on. It hasn't been a bother to me.

QuestionCharging cordWhere can you buy a replacement charging cord for the watch Surge
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Call fitbit support. The best part of fitbit, aside from their management website is really their support. I started out a couple of support cases via their online chat and both times I was shocked to see how accommodating they were. Not sure if I just got lucky and caught them in the weeks prior to going public, forcing the support agents to be super supportive but both times I had issues they were resolved. Im sure if you call them or open a chat online you will be extremely satisfied with the results. Ask them how to acquire a new charging cable and see what happens. Trust me.

QuestionWhich Fitbits are waterproof?
Asked 9 years ago by ATOMIK.
- Answer i wear my fitbit flex all the time, even when i'm washing the dishes and showering. I have not had any issues or problems with it being under water. You may just want to air out the band to help dry up the inside.

QuestionCan this watch track your heart rate if you are lifting weights?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes...I use mine during Crossfit. The only issue, at times, is that occasionally, big wrist bend movements may cause the tracker to lose heart rate. It comes back in less than a minute and I haven't noticed any spikes or dips in the overall heart rate through the workout.

QuestionWhat features make the Fitbit Surge worth $100 more than the Fitbit HR?I'm trying to figure out what features (and why those features) make the Surge a better idea than the Fitbit HR. I have a flex.
Asked 9 years ago by GingerSunCity.
- Answer I had the Charge HR and opted to go with the Surge. I needed a larger face. It does a better job of tracking heart rate due to the wider band.

QuestionWhy would I want this instead of Fitbit Charge HR?I want to know why I would pay an extra 100 for this watch over the Fitbit charge?
Asked 9 years ago by GingerSunCity.
- Answer I thought the same thing until I got one. The face is larger. You have more options when it comes to tracking your execises. There are eliptical, hiking, treadmill and even circuit and weight lifting options. You can also get your text messages. It also functions as a gps while running. I haven't used that feature though.
