You're not stupid, you're just learning new things!

 

Yes, if you want call notifications, your bluetooth will need to be on.

 

Love it when I get a call that I get a buzz on the wrist and can see the name before I even pick up the phone. You will need to have the phone within about twenty feet of the device to get the call notification.

Hello and welcome to the forums @mmshoeme

 

You only need to turn on the bluetooth in order to sync. There are times when I have my bluetooth turned off and then I'll turn it back on later in the evening to sync the steps.
