Can I use a Fitbit Blaze if I don't have a phone?

[maunder01]

Shock horror, I am one of those freaks that don't have a personal mobile phone, because I find it really intrusive and don't appreciate being contactable whenever, wherever. Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to use a Fitbit Blaze without a mobile device? And what features won't be available to me? 

I have an ipod nano, could I sync it to the Blaze to access the music feature?

TIA

You can set it up on the computer

@maunder01,

I sync my Blaze with both my smart phone and my Windows computer, depending on what I am doing.

With out a phone, turn off the GPS when exercising as it won't be able to find a connection. Leaving it on will drain the battery faster. You also won't be able to see some data when you are away from home. That likely isn't going to be a big deal for you.

My phone is a Pixel 2 (Android). I silence the phone calls most of the time. I only allow phone calls when I want to receive them. I also turn off most alerts as I find them intrusive. I find that many of the newer smart phones provide the user the ability to be interrupted only when (if) they want to be. My friends know to leave a message when I don't answer. I have also blocked a lot of telemarketer numbers so that I don't even know that they attempted to call me. The new SPAM alert feature has been very useful as well. I get a lot fewer annoyance calls than when I had a land line phone.

Hope this helps and have a Terrific day!

A warm welcome to the Community @maunder01, @WendyB and @Goosse1962 thanks for stopping by.

Regarding your inquiry, yes, you can use your tracker with a computer, if you haven't set it up, you can follow the instructions provided in the How do I set up my Fitbit device? article and follow the steps provided there to pair it from your computer.

I am not sure which iPod nano you have, but you can check our list of compatible mobile devices and if your iPod is listed, you can use it to sync your Blaze too. The features you won't have are: GPS, notifications and music control.

I hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.
