FitBit Surge - worth it?
Does anyone have the FitBit surge? I have the Fitbit one and its over 4 years old and starting to fall apart, so I am thinking about upgrading to the surge, but not sure if the 250.00 price tag is worth it.

I bought this for the sole purpose to use when weight training, but I do like the…

Excited to be doing this
Good morning, So far I have done workout 1 for A and B on stage 1 and I have to say that I enjoyed it very much. I have no idea of the calorie burn as the FITBIT really doesn't register weight lifting, so I will be buying a HRM today so I can monitor my progress as the weeks go by.
