On the one hand I would certainly pay an extra $100-$220 for ?Watch but FitBit's new products do have some features that aren't yet advertised for ?Watch.įor me, one major feature is a stated battery life of 5 to 7 days, and from having a FitBit Force that battery life isn't an exaggeration. Took you way, way too long to get back in the market after the Force turned out to give users massive allergic reactions. Sorry, Fitbit, but you have really missed the boat here. Wait, the Surge is $249, for a plastic device, with a non-replaceable plastic wristband, and about 5% of the functionality of Apple Watch? And they can't even ship til next year? That does suck, but that's certainly not a deal breaker for me at this point and I wonder how many iOS 8 users really even know what the Health app is for.
