Fitbit updating Surge software with several new features
Owners of the Fitbit Surge activity tracker should be on the lookout for a software update rolling out for their devices. Fitbit has packed in several improvements to the device in the latest update to help users keep their activities on track. The biggest change for the Fitbit Surge is the addition of alerts, called Run Cues, based on time and distance marks. Users will find these can be helpful in setting their pace as they pursue their training goals.
According to Fitbit, the update includes some improvements to help extend battery life. Fitbit says the tracker will go for 10 hours, versus the previous mark of 5 hours, when using the active GPS and heart-rate sensor. They also included a new timer and stopwatch tool that will make it easier to use the Fitbit for workouts that use timed intervals.
The update should start hitting users on Wednesday.
