Automatic tracking with the Fitbit Surge
Your Surge tracks a variety of stats automatically whenever you are wearing it. When
you sync your Surge, this data is uploaded to Fitbit.com where you can view it on the
Fitbit.com dashboard or in the Fitbit app.
Tracking all-day stats
Your Surge automatically tracks and displays the following all-day stats:
• Steps taken
• Current heart rate
• Distance covered
• Calories burned
• Floors climbed
To view these stats, display the Clock and swipe left or right.
In addition to the stats displayed on your Surge, the following all-day stats are also
tracked but shown only on your Fitbit.com dashboard or in the mobile app:
• Detailed heart rate history, including time spent in heart rate zones
• Active minutes
• Hours slept and quality of sleep
Your Surge starts tracking your stats for the next day at midnight based on your time
zone. Though your stats reset to zero at midnight, this does not delete the previous
day’s data; that data will be uploaded to Fitbit.com the next time you sync your
Surge.
You can adjust your time zone at www.fitbit.com/user/profile/edit, or use the Fitbit
app to detect your time zone automatically.
Tracking sleep
Your Surge automatically tracks the hours you sleep and your movement during the
night to help you understand your sleep quality. You don’t need to press any buttons
or otherwise enter a “sleep mode” to begin tracking sleep. Simply wear your Surge to
bed. Wearing your Surge while you sleep has the added benefit of making the
Resting Heart Rate measurements on your dashboard more accurate.
To see your sleep data, sync your tracker and then view the Fitbit.com dashboard or
mobile app. On the dashboard you can look at the sleep tiles or go to Log > Sleep. In
the mobile app tap your sleep tile.
