“Do you have to have your phone on you at all times and connected to Bluetooth for the watch to do tracking and data collection? I like to ride without a phone and would want to depend only on the watch.”

While I do carry a phone, I don’t sync the Forerunner to it. I sync the ride data once I get back home using the Garmin Connect app on an iPad. I get the same data I get in MapMyRide or Strava including maps of where I rode. Could leave the phone at home but I carry it “just in case.” I also let the Forerunner sync to my Edge bike computer so I can see heart rate on my handlebars. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The device will track your data under the correct activity profile without a phone. However, without your phone you wouldn't get any notifications. Debbie with Garmin
