While I like my Android Wear watch, the Sony SmartWatch 3, I find using a smartwatch for phone call and text notifications to be my primary use so the Surge may be perfectly fine as a smartwatch for many folks. You can read incoming text messages so may be able to leave your phone in your pocket more. While the Fitbit Charge and Charge HR show caller ID information, the Surge will also show you text notifications. The stated battery time of five days matched my actual experiences. The custom charger plug fits into the back of the band and takes a couple hours to fully charge up. I removed it when I showered since it is not fully waterproof, but it survived a few rainy days just fine. I was able to sleep, travel, commute, and exercise with it without any issues at all. It is extremely comfortable and I honestly forgot I was even wearing it most days. The piece that secures the extra strap piece has an extension that helps lock the band onto your wrist. The Fitbit Charge HR is very similar to the Fitbit Charge with the addition of an optical heart rate monitor on the back and a typical watch post and slot securing clasp.
