HR and Step Calorie Counting

[Julia_Anne]

Hey all. Just got the Blaze, and I understand that it does not GPS track without being paired to a phone. However, during most of my workouts on an indoor track, I won't be carrying my phone with me as I run. I'm hoping that I can rely on HR and step count to compute my calories effectively. Does the Blaze work well for this, if you do not track movement via phone?

Yes, that will work fine. It's basically what the fitbit is made to do. The GPS offers a potentially more accurate distance and provides a nice map but your calorie burn will be fine without it.
