FitBit Surge...anyone here have one?

I just got back into running and need a new sports watch (my old Timex Ironman crapped out)...in reading about it for the first time today, seems like the FitBit Surge may be what I want. Long battery life (well, longer than the Apple Watch), GPS, syncing with iphone, etc seems to make it a good buy.
What are the cons about this device?

Look into the Microsoft band as well. Just got one last week and chose it over the Surge.

I got the charge hr. Really like it. I looked at the surge but I couldn't find 100 dollars worth of added value over the charge hr.

MS Band is awesome...check it out first. I never have to pull my phone out of my pocket to check on texts/email/calls/alerts. Plus it does all the fitness stuff.

I had one and took it back. The HR monitor was very inaccurate and often lost my pulse completely.

I returned mine after three days. I simply did not like the size of the device on my wrist. Felt too bulky.

I have had a surge for about 6 months now.
GPS is quite accurate, and the battery life is pretty good (I charge mine once every 4 days with a lot of GPS usage). I like mine, but also use the steps function and sleep pattern stuff.
If you just want a GPS watch for running, look at the garmin 10. I have one of those as well and thought it was great (plus cheaper). But I wanted the steps and sleep functionality of the fitbit.
