Very simple questions..  in order for GPS to work, do I need to carry both my phone and Luxe when I walk/ride...  whatever the exercise?  or can I just wear the Luxe and upload to my phone later on?

Thank you.

Hi there, @SeltzerFan. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

 

Please note that Fitbit Luxe is not built-in GPS. It works through the GPS on your phone. For more information, see How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?

 

Hope that answers your inquiry.

Hello,

  No it doesn't answer my question unfortunately.  I read that link and it's not clear.  I am not going to go through all those instructions until I know if in order to use GPS, I have to carry my phone with me while I walk or run or bike.. whatever.  

So, do I have to carry my phone with me while wearing my Luxe in order for GPS to work?  Yes or No. 

 

thank you!
