We wrote the other day about the less-than-stellar review that Re/code gave the new fitness trackers from Fitbit. In the interest of fairness and completeness, we also note that Gizmodo has a set of reviews, and they like the Surge and the Charge HR much more than Re/code did, finding them respectably accurate.
Gizmodo dinged the entry level Charge for a dreadful clasp, and criticized the Charge HR and Surge for not being at all waterproof. The reviewer ultimately did not recommend the Surge, but for an odd and unfair reason: because it was more of a running-specific tool than a general fitness tracker.
