Fitbit annouces the Charge, Charge HR, and the Surge. Amazon FireTVStick Impressions

My Fitbit force just broke.  Since they are recalled, they won't replace it for, but I can return it and get my money back.  I am excited because they just announced three new models.

The Charge is pretty much a replacement for the Force, and at 129, the price isn't too bad. The Charge HR is the same, except with the inclusion of a heart rate monitor.  This model is only $150. That's awesome.

But, the model I am most interested in is the Surge.  At $249, this fitness smartwatch, has GPS, a heart rate monitor, and is able to receive some phone notifications. It can also control music.  I cannot wait to use this model.

Check them all out on the Fitbit website.

Amazon also released another contender into the streaming stick world.  The FireTVStick is only $39, and it packed with all of the usual features.  I am excited that you will be able to use the
gamepad that is used with the FireTV.  Right now, Amazon Prime Member can pre-order it for only $19.  Check out the FireTVStick.
