I'm a loyal FB wearer - previously had the charge HR and now the Surge. Wondering if FitBit has plans to upgrade the Surge to include some of the other newer features: Reminders to Move, Cardio Fitness, Guided Breathing sessions and On Screen workouts. If Surge could add these features in and/or come out with another watch that had all of those features, I think they would have a very competitive fitness watch! I would love to get the blaze next for its look and features, but I hate that it means I have to give up on some of the Surge features like built in GPS ( and wish it also included cardio fitness like the Charge HR 2).

If I'm not mistaken, the Surge does have the Reminder to move thing; I say that because I *think* I remember turning that highly annoying (to me) feature off.  😛

Thanks for the feedback! On the Surge, I can set a goal and it tracks it - but it looks like the 'nudge' to move (where it vibrates) isn't available 😕

Sounds correct; now that you mention it, the Fitbit app on my phone was the source of the annoying every hour reminder to get up to move; sure glad I turned that feature off.  🙂

Fitbit have a track record of not discussing future features until the time of release so I wouldn't expect too much by way of an "official" response to this question I'm afraid.
