Hi community,

I have had a Surge for a week or so and I really love it. It is really pushing me. I am after advice..I am a professional in my job and my tangerine Surge really doesnt suit my attire where as a Blaze would be great for me, cosmetically.

 

I like to play soccer and also train in the gym and really like the "distance" part of the device as it pushes me harder.. Would I lose out because the Blaze has no GPS?

 

Would I lose anything from having a Blaze?

Hi, @Lloydyh85 , if you have your (compatible) phone with you then you just connect your Blaze to the phone's GPS and you don't lose out on anything.  But you probably don't carry your phone while playing soccer... but since Fitbit supports multiple trackers on a single account, if you got a Blaze you could swap back and forth between Surge and Blaze and use whichever one suits the occasion better...

You will get distance estimates based on your stride length when not using GPS.

Thank you for this.I want it to be as accurate as possible.How does it calculate my stride?Based on my height I suppose?
I am tempted to get a Blaze for casual day (Office) and wear my Surge to train as long as I keep my data?
