  • Die Fitbit Surge können wir als alltagstauglichen Fitness-Tracker absolut weiterempfehlen. Auch wenn das Gerät leider nicht wasserdicht, sondern nur spritzwassergeschützt ist. Zu den größten Pluspunkten gehören der integrierte GPS-Sensor, Herzfrequenzmess...

  • Schrittzähler, GPS-Tracking und der Pulsmesser funktionieren bei der Fitbit Surge. Das wenig ansprechende Design und die Softwareprobleme verhindern jedoch eine uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung. Zukünftige Software-Updates könnten hier freilich nachträglic...

  • Fitnessuhr für Sport und Fitnesstracker für den ganzen Tag, Display immer gut ablesbar, integrierte Pulsmessung, Ohne aktiviertes GPS lange Akkulaufzeit
  • GPS saugt den Akku schnell leer, GPS trotz hohem Energieverbrauch mit Abweichungen von mehreren Metern
  • Die unverbindliche Preisempfehlung für die Fitbit Surge beträgt 249,95 Euro. Direkt beim Hersteller könnt Ihr sie bereits bestellen. Bei Amazon sind bisher nur geringe Stückzahlen erhältlich, für die die Händler einen Aufschlag von rund 100 Euro verlangen...

  • De Fitbit Surge is een alles-in-één gezondheidsgadget en scoort op vrijwel alle terreinen prima. Het blinkt echter nergens in uit. Reguliere stappentellers zien er vaak minder lomp uit en zijn ook een stuk goedkoper. Voor het meten van je sportactiviteite...
