Fitbit Surge Accuracy Review. This one isnt really that accurate as different people take different types of steps and their not always all the same distance. Surge is much higher on average BPM like 20 and extremely high on max bpm like 50. 36 out of 5. The 5 average error of the Surge is a little greater than average.
While it may track stats such as steps and floors when placed in a pocket or backpack it is most accurate on the wrist. Just be aware that every company uses a slightly different algorithm in their devices for calculating steps. I wore the Fitbit Surge for a week alongside the UP24 which Ive found to be the most accurate step count wise for me and the differences were obvious. Its primary limitation is that it lacks the extensive feature set and customization of high-end GPS devices but the convenience of wrist-based HR and the addition of. Comparing with chest strap on Garmin and Polar alternate days on elliptical. Fitbit Surges GPS tracking isnt the most accurate Ive tested with noticeable smoothing around corners and at times off-track routes that are a street and a half over.
A 3 mile course my Surge would show 301 miles.
