I have an iPhone and i have never recieved a text on the blaze, I have on the other hand get phone calls but sometimes that doesn't happen. If you want a smart watch you should look elsewhere. This is more of a fitness and health tracking devise! I love but it might not be your best fit.

I've been over 30 feet away and it still received my text messages and indicated a phone call. Not that I can answer the call but at least I knew who was calling.

The bluetooth will not work if you leave the phone at home or in a car. I can get notifications in the same room, or a couple of rooms away/down the hall maybe but not much further. Very helpful though in meetings and when my phone is in my purse.

I think about ten yards. Not going to work other than a treadmill run.

Bluetooth has a fairly short range. I've had it work up to about 100 ft but that would be the max. Typically you need to be within 40 feet or 1-2 rooms away. For anything more then that the device would need to have it's own connection of some sort.

You must have your phone with you for the fitbit to connect to it.

About 20 feet. So it won't work if you leave your phone behind :/

Lisapizza · Answer

You would have to take your phone with you. If you are in the house, it will pick up texts when you are in the other room from your phone, but not when you are outside.

Bluetooth connection is like any other. While The steps will still register the calls & texts probably won't.
