A:AnswerYes it does, you can use the built-in gps or connect it to your cellphone. At the end of the ride one can see on a map the total distance and other important stats.
A:AnswerYes, it works alone. If you have a laptop you can synch it with that too. The advantage of synching with a phone or laptop is that you can keep track of total lifetime steps, do challenges with others and other fun, neat stuff.
A:AnswerI know you asked this long ago, but the answer would be no. Not with just the Fitbit. If the person had their phone on them you could use the FindMyiPhone app or Android equivalent
A:AnswerOn my old fitbit all I had to do was turn my arm over and I can see the time
I am finding with this new one I have to tap it several times to finally see the face
A little annoyed that I have to use another hand to get this fitbit going, unlike a normal watch where you can always see the time
