Hi, welcome to the Community forums, @kennaowlhooo! And Happy birthday! 

 

It's not necessary to have Wi-Fi connection, this feature is only used to download playlists and apps from the Fitbit App Gallery, and for faster firmware updates, but it's not required to sync your data, since this is done through a Bluetooth connection. 

 

You can find more information about how devices sync their data in this article. 

 

Have a great day!

Hi, @kennaowlhooo! There are some app updates that can only be done over wifi, but I have been using my tracker successfully without adding wifi to it.

You don't have to add it to the wifi. I will work fine without it. 

 

Happy Birthday.
