Got mine a few days ago and love it, though I will say compared to what my old chest strap polar ft7 would give for a heart rate and calorie burn during a workout, there is a considerable discrepancy. Weightlifting and cross fit.0

Just upgraded from the flex to the surge. So far I'm loving it. https://www.fitbit.com/user/24PBZ90

I had the Force for over a year. Just got the Surge two days ago and was super excited to test it out. It's awesome but I am now having a problem with other app syncs. I use Fitbit, My Fitness Pal and Map My Run. Back in December I had a problem with double counting exercise in My Fitness Pal. I contacted them and it had something to do with the Apple Health App. Needless to say, the problem was resolved and life went on.
So, yesterday, I went for my run, using my Surge's GPS and also Map My Run app (I really wanted to test the accuracy of the Surge) Everything was great in terms of accuracy except when I went to log my food in My Fitness Pal app, I noticed that my exercise entry was posted twice. I went back in my journal and noticed that every exercise had been posted twice. Some entries were different by a minute or two, but calorie burn was the same.
I disconnected each app. Deleted the app, re downloaded and opened the apps up again. In the Fitbit app, the exercises were only there once but after a minute of the app syncing to I have no clue what, all of the exercises posted twice again in each app.
Basically, I have sent emails to both Fitbit support and MFP support to try to help me figure this out. I was wondering if anyone else is having this same issue? Any suggestions as to what I should do. I wish that you could just delete the Apple health app because to me, it's pointless and isn't compatible with many of the other apps that I use. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!0 -

Been using my Surge for a few weeks now so far I love it. I still use my flex since the battery runs down faster on the Surge. Add me: //www.fitbit.com/user/2CF7LT

I have had this same exact issue. If I use mapmyrun and my fitbit while i'm out, it shows up twice on mfp. But if I use only the fitbit, it doesn't carry over onto mapmyrun. I've had to not use Mapmyrun in order to keep that double posting from happening. And I'm not sure why my fitbit runs aren't syncing to mapmyrun.0 -

I have mine for just over a week and really like it. My concern is the calories burn while doing day to day activities seems high. I would like to hear others opinions on this.0 -
Hi there. My profile: https://www.fitbit.com/user/37R6DY
First half day using FitBit Surge. Don't quite understand the Calorie adjustment, more reading is required.0 -

I too am surprised at how many calories it says I am burning. By following 12wbt and keeping to about 1500 calories a day, I should be shedding weight. I am hoping the accuracy will improve over time.
In the meantime, this is interesting:
