how is it so far?

I kind of like it.

One device for all functionality. But doesn't give running info as good as Garmin, and I doubt battery good enough for full marathon

i thought it can last for afew days ?

was considering between that and charge hr , went with charge hr since i dont really need the gps functionality. :/ , maybe later if an upgrade is required, i'll buy what ever latest from fitbit... :0

I'm referring to the 5 hour GPS battery life. But yeah if you don't need GPS for running, I reckon Charge HR looks more elegant

Heard that the best apps till now, fitbit still the best, isn't it?

How's the surge u been using so far? U used more.on jogging? Long battery life?

If use for gps (10k) daily then need to charge every alternate day

The app is simple and intuitive, but not as many data collected compare to garmin if u r an avid runner.

Bro most wearable's HR monitoring is not accurate. The only accurate one is Mio Alpha/Fuse. Check it out.

Accuracy is a relative term.

It depends on your need actually, unless you are having heart problem or you are a hardcore endurance athlete, I would say the HR reading variance is still acceptable for most technologies.

Mio may be a good optical HR on its own but the ecosystem / app is quite weak compare to fitbit
