Does my Windows 10 PC need bluetooth and or wifi to connect the Versa to it?

Hi

My Windows 10 PC is connected to my router via ethernet cable.

Does my Windows 10 PC need to have bluetooth to connect it to a Versa or do I just need it to be on the same network via ethernet (for the PC) and have the Versa connect to my Wifi network?

Thank you

Sync over wifi doesn't work, wifi is only for downloads. You need Bluetooth  https://www.fitbit.com/eu/shop/accessories/wireless-sync-dongle

Dongles don't always work with the Fitbit Ionic (specially true for setup). I really wouldn't recommend to purchase one because the Versa essentially has the same software so it has to work as poorly as the Ionic.

@Lufalulz fair point well made - to be honest it worked for my partner that way with his Charge 2 and the dongle is only 7 euros, so I got it in case the worst happened as I have a desktop PC. I guess it's just to give the guy some hope if he doesn't have a laptop with the technology the Versa demands. There's almost always a way to make it work, it just needs patience..

Yes, the dongle is actually the best thing there is to painlessly sync with the Fitbit trackers. If the watches would work 100% of the time with that then it would be beautiful.

Based on previous @knowsnofitness messages, I think once the Versa is setup it will be enough with a dongle and any Android (4.4+) phone even if it's not supported. For some one who really likes the Versa and would even be willing to use it as a somewhat standalone device that should be good enough.
