Hi - I don't have a computer, only an iPhone and an iPad. Can I use a Fitbit blaze or do I need a computer/laptop to operate it?
Thanks

No computer needed, and a compatable phone will add a lot of function to the Blaze, that a computer won't give you.

The Blaze has aeveral functions that only work while connected to a smart phone, such as read messages, caller ID, connected GPS, calander notifacations, etc.
I computer is not needed to sync if you have a compatible phone, amd you'll still be able to see ypir stats through the computers web browser.

@Rich_Laue @Umado77 Very true Rich!

 

@Umado77 If you have an iPhone that's at least a 4s and above, you should be fine when syncing/setting up. Many Fitbit users are mobile-exclusive, meaning they use their devices exclusively with their compatible mobile phone!

Merged threads together regarding the same topic so things can look a bit odd.

 

Wishing a wonderful day #all
