Can the Aria 2 sync without WiFi?

[cannoncd]

Since Aria 2 now has Bluetooth, am I able to sync weigh-ins to my phone without WiFi?  Or, does the Bluetooth just a feature to expedite the WiFi setup?  Full disclosure, I'm overseas with tightly controlled access to WiFi, so I would not be able to connect it at all (except to my phone via bluetooth).

Thanks!

Do you mean the Aria Air rather than the Aria 2? The Aria Air does not use wifi and relies on the bluetooth connection to your phone unlike the Aria and Aria 2 which use wifi to directly connect to the fitbit servers.

However, once your Aria Air connects to your phone over bluetooth your phone will need wifi (or mobile data) to connect it the fitbit servers so you may still have a wifi connectivity issue.

Thanks for the reply Steve,

I think my question could have been better phrased, although I think you've already answered it.

Can I sync the Aria 2 through Bluetooth - similar to how the Aria Air is sync'd?

My phone is able to connect to WiFi, but I cannot connect a peripheral devices (such as a scale).

ok, I understand now. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm afraid the Aria 2 does require wifi access as it directly connects to the fitbit servers
