Surge, charging and wearability

[Xgymdude]

I have a Surge, used to use it all the time but injured my back at work and stopped going to the gym. I have recently started to use the tracker again, one of the main issues I have is charging the device, as it cannot track heart rate etc. whilst it is on charge, I think a kinetic charging system would be invaluable as well as waterproofing. I not only use my tracker as a tracker but also as a timepiece. Thanks
