Hey everyone - I've been a Surge customer since it was introduced over two years ago. I love the device, but hate not being able to swap out a broken strap. I'm past my warranty and am now considering purchasing a Blaze. I do not use the GPS on my Surge so that is not a big concern. Just checking to see if any other previous Surge users switched to a Blaze and if so are you pleased or disappointed with your decision?

Love my Blaze! It does have connected GPS . Different than the surge.. I think you will like it.  Alot smaller than the surge, which is a big Plus!

The blaze has better software and overall a better product. The killer for me is the lack of GPS or the "connected GPS function"

Hi @MtnLvng - If GPS is not an important feature for you, you can really look at all of the trackers and pick the one that will work best for you. Try the link below as a starting point:

I would just wait for the new Fitbit smartwatch that is set to come out this fall.  I am trying to make my surge last until then but the way the band is breaking it might not make it that far.  I have tried repeatedly to get them to switch me out trackers but all they offer is the 25%.  Some other users have said that they were able to receive a blaze in exchange for their surges.
