Notifications in Winodws Phone and Surge

[gadees]

I purchased a Fitbit Surge to replace my Microsoft Band which I loved but was having problems.  I picked the Surge because it was reported to worked with my Windows 10 Phone.  I see from some old blogs that notifications do not work on a windows phone.  Is this still true.

Disappointing.  I'll check Ebay and Amazon to see if I can still find a Microsoft Band, great device I can get Caller ID, Text, E-Mails, News and more.  The Surge was a gift so I'll keep it, I may not be able to find a band and I'll just deal with it.

Hi @gadees, thanks for getting back to me! 

Sorry about your gift, I think that you can definitely use it to improve your workouts; take a look of the manual and the features that it has. Maybe it doesn't have that option, but it has too many others that you can find handy.
