DSE has 15% off fitness gear, bringing the Surge fitness tracker band down to $296.65: click for Large or Small.

@@At 4:14pm today (Valentines day), DSE has a further 14% off with coupon code SHOWLOVE. This sale only lasts 14 minutes! See more details here. If the discounts stack, this will bring the Surge down to an unbeatable $255.12 !

The lesser model (Charge HR - with smaller screen and no GPS) is also on sale @ $169.15: see ozbargain post here.

EDIT: See the very in-depth review of DC Rainmaker (fitness watch review hero).

My summary: great sleep and general activity tracker, which works well enough for runs and basic exercise. It's not a precision tool, not for your triathlete, but great for the weekend warrior as it is super convenient (strapless HR tracking via optics), combined with GPS, step measurement, some basic messaging/call notifications and great integration with the fitbit app.

    Fitbit Surge is a multisport watch with no cycling mode and has to be taken off when showering or swimming. I can see some pitfalls right there.

    • dbglt on 14/02/2015 - 12:51

      Yes & no - no cycling mode, and it sucks if that's your use. Seems to be software that's lagging behind for cycling, and fitbit has said they will be updating it.

      RE: waterproof - seems fine in real world immersion tests and in shower etc, I think it's just a liability thing.

      See the very in-depth review of DC Rainmaker (fitness watch review hero).

      In summary: great sleep and general activity tracker, which works well enough for runs and basic exercise. It's not a precision tool, not for your triathlete, but great for the weekend warrior as it is super convenient (strapless HR tracking via optics), combined with GPS, step measurement, some basic messaging/call notifications and great integration with the fitbit app.

      EDIT: probably a good idea to put this in the post - thanks for the prompt.

        every review I have seen says (including the one above) the HR monitor is off under stress (when you want it) and the GPS is wonky … perhaps stepping up to a better watch will suit people (thee arn't cheap) or down to the lower model so your not paying for bad GPS. I was really keen on one of these but until the fix it I'm holding onto my cash.

    Still no XL sized units available worldwide, even on their website. They advised it will be "soon" with no date.

    Aren't all these fitness trackers wildly inaccurate

    • nafe on 14/02/2015 - 14:16

      Wrist ones aren't as accurate for steps as the pedometer based ones.
      My fitbit One is pretty good, and just stays in my pocket. I prefer to wear a nice watch to the fitness bands.

      From the link below by ms - http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2108876

      The Fitbit One and Zip were the most accurate.

    would recommend doing the sizing tool test https://www.fitbit.com/content/assets/surge/surge_sizing_gui… before buying.
    I normally where a Fitbit Force comfortably in a large but in the Surge I would need an XL.

      did you stand in the store and grab someone in 14min window?

  • SrMoure on 17/02/2015 - 11:44

    The waterproofing is a let down. Probably the next generation or another brand would do it. Also the HR monitor is not very reliable for what I read.
