Fitbit ’s Surge smartwatch hasalready been leakedwhat feels like a million times , but we now lie with passably much all the remaining details , thanks to a pre - fiat page onBrookstonethat hangs every last detail out to dry .
As antecedently suggested , the Surge will carefully tread the telephone circuit between smartwatch and fittingness picket . The touchscreen display is self-aggrandizing enough for text and call notifications , as well as control your music — but that ’s passably much all the smartwatch features you get , since the Surge does n’t appear to be running Android Wear , but rather Fitbit ’s own software .
What you do get , however , is a raft of seaworthiness - focalize features . There ’s a build up - in GPS , so you could expend the Surge as a running ticker without having to hale your telephone set around with you , and there ’s also a heart - rate sensor , much like on theSamsung Gear Live . For the sleep fanatics out there , the pre - order page lists sleep trailing as another feature film , which hopefully also hints at a battery life history of more than one day .
One thing the pre - order page does n’t lean , though , is terms . Previous leaks from The Verge have suggested a $ 250 price detail , which would put it smack - smash in the middle of the current crop of Android Wear devices , and towards the high end of current fitness watches . Still , if the battery lifespan is decent — and this particular Fitbit does n’t give its drug user rashes — the Surge could definitely compete for a slice of the smartwatch pie .
