Timing is everything. It determines where you need to be, where you’ve been and where you’re heading. The newest timing timepiece from Fitbit will be every traveler’s newest necessity for gauging his or her active lifestyle once it debuts in early 2015. Perfect for on the road, the Fitbit Surge is slim, stylish and definitely keeps track of where you’re heading by providing wearers with all-day fitness tracking, along with GPS and continuous heart rate monitoring.

 

The device is a great companion for travelers looking to maintain their health and fitness while on vacation, since the Surge provides the opportunity to track both activities and workouts with things like pace, distance, elevation climbed and route histories, all while exploring new destinations.

 

The Surge’s functions are easy to customize and record running, cross training and cardio activities in multi-sport mode. The watch even has an automatic sleep detection mode where it accurately keeps a log of how long and well the wearer slept.

 

With a comfortable and sleek water-resistant band, and a seven-day battery life, travelers can track all the best stats with ease. All Fitbit trackers sync wirelessly and automatically via Bluetooth 4.0 to more than 120 devices across iOS, Android and Windows platforms, but the Surge offers smartwatch features — such as call and text notifications, as well as music control — so travelers can easily stay connected. Available here for $249.95 at the beginning of 2015.

In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.
