@SunsetRunner  I believe your Fitbit will still collect data without bluetooth being turned on in your phone. However, you will need to have bluetooth turned on in order to sync the data from your tracker to the Fitbit app on your phone. Your Fitbit app will notify you on your phone if bluetooth isn't on.

Bluetooth will also be needed if you want to receive notifications.
