Hello @yukonred as for data, you should be able to do this. The easiest way to find out is to try it,  simply turn data and wifi off then go for a walk.

Bluetooth will need to be turned on so that the Blaze can connect to the phones GPS. I'm not sure how recording your  runs will affect memory but your Blaze should store 7 days of data. I would suggest trying to sync every couple of dwys tyrough a free wifi hotspot.

@yukonredGo and enjoy you journey.  Provided you keep your charge up for recording on the Blaze it will hold 7 days of minute data and a further 23 days log daily data. After 30 days the oldest days drop off.

 

When you are in an area to sync turn your phone syncing features on.. and sync. You never know, you may frequent a Cafe or similar where someone has a PC with a dongle. So don't be surprised when you go to sync most of your data is already in your account. The Fitbit will sync via any PC if you are within range.
