My wife wants to upgrade from her old Flex (we have been gluing it back together every few months for the past year). She is thinking about the Surge but she does not have a smartphone, she does however use my old iPhone as an iPod around the house, currently syncing her flex with it. Her concerns is how much functionality of the Blaze would be missed by not being connected constantly with a data enabled smartphone. I understand that notifications (calls, texts, calendar, gps etc...) would not function, nor would they be missed, but would the rest of the functionality work as a standalone device, to be synced when she returns home?

@bbarrera hit the nail on the head here!
@RoundeyeSamurai Just about every feature will work nicely without a mobile device to use as a point of reference, with the exception of music control, call/text/calendar notifications, and connected GPS. You'll still be able to track all of your daily statistics (time, clock faces, alarms, steps, distance, calories, floors, etc.), and once your wife gets back home to sync, all of her information will still be there.
Hope this helps!

Hi there, so just to clarify, is a smartphone necessary at all or is it okay to just use Blaze and occassionally sync it to PC? I am not smartphone user but just received a Blaze for a gift. Wanting to track activity and steps and perhaps set up reminders for pills. Thanks for any advice!
