Tech Blog Lauds Fitbit Surge Fitness Tracker (FIT)

Fitbit (NYSE: FIT) received a bit of praise from one tech blog on Wednesday, though the author ultimately decided to forgo wearing the device any longer.

TheNextWeb published a piece on how the Fitbit Surge helped one author to lose 28 pounds in three months. The author (whom is actually a photographer) noted that he isn't a beginner at weight lifting, has "cut" before, and was also in a caloric deficit phase.

Regardless, the author largely praised the Fitbit Surge versus other fitness trackers, mainly for the data he was provided.

But, the author decided that the Fitbit Surge wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as a normal watch. So, there you have it.

Fitbit is trading around 3 percent higher Wednesday.
