Fitbit Surge or any other suggestions??

What do you want to use the device for?

Assessing what features you want is a good start.

Personally I think the Fitbit One is the best device. Instead of wearing on the wrist, it clips to the bra/waist/pocket. Has been very accurate for me. Some of the wrist device have issues of not counting accurately while pushing a cart. Though the Surge (I think) has a GPS feature that the One does not have.

The reports I have read: wrist-worn HR monitors are not necessarily accurate. Chest straps are better. I think some people buy the HR version wrist devices thinking the HR function works 24 hours a day to give an accurate calorie reading. It doesn't. HR is useful during steady state cardio for calorie purposes, or for using to gauge your resting heart rate.

I agree with most of the above.

The HR function is very inaccurate, the watch is huge, it won't track pushing a cart or stroller or steps holding a treadmill bar, and if you have a smart phone with you, that already has gps.

I would get a One or Zip and see how you like wearing a jazzy pedometer. They can be terrific for motivation.

In terms of HR accuracy, Mio Fuse seems to do a quite good job when compared to chest straps. Although it lacks GPS if it's a feat that you're looking for.

Here is my story:
Last Fathers day my wife got me a fitbit charge(non HR), and I put it on and loved it. It was substantially mroe accurate step wise then my phone app, and it gave me my TDEE. For GPS tracking you can use the fitbit app on your phone, run keeper, mapmyruns, whatever you choose since most of us seem to carry the phone anyway the GPS is a non issue for me. The battery life was great, it didn't last the full 7 days they are supposed to, but did last maybe 4-5 days on a solid charge. While doing burpees a few months after I got it, the hard plastic where it screws into the band underneath broke. I called fitbit and explained what happened, they sent me out a brand new fitbit, even though the old one still worked fine, and they didn't want the old one back.

My new fitbit charge arrived, charged it up, put it on and the next day the battery died. This fitbit needed charged daily, so I called fitbit again. They gave me a case number and asked me to sync the fitbit with my phone after it was fully charged and when I got a low battery alert. I did that. Called them the next morning gave them my case number, they looked up the info, apologized profusely and sent me another fitbit that day. This fitbit has functioned perfectly, no charging issues, and I love having it.

Fitbit has the best customer service, and I feel confident recommending it to anyone.

I've had my Fitbit One for over 2 years. Never had any issues. Last summer we became a Fitbit family. My husband also got a One, and my son got a Flex. He didn't care for it, and opted for the One. My oldest daughter was afraid that clipping something to her clothing would end in disaster (aka a laundered Fitbit) and so she took the Flex. My youngest has had issues with taking care of things, so I was only willing to invest in the basic Zip - similar to the One but fewer features tracked.

One night while working, my husband's One fell out of the holder. Hard to know for sure if it was lose in the holder or if he simply didn't put it in squarely. Fitbit replaced the One.

About 6 weeks after getting the Flex, it stopped holding a charge. As in, charge it fully and within 12-18 hours it was dead. We went thru the recommended trouble shooting steps then Fitbit replaced.
