Thinking of buying the Versa for my husband for Father’s Day — neither of us have ever had a smart watch. The primary reasons he would use it are for call/text notifications while @ The gym & listening to music with Bluetooth headphones (both so he doesn’t have to have his phone on him). If the WiFi Connection is good @ Our gym, how close would he need to have his phone to get his notifications?? In his pocket—or across the room in a bag? All the way downstairs in the locker room?? (He has one of the newer iPhones if that matters). Thanks so much for comments or opinions!

To get notifications on your tracker or smart watch, you need to be within bluetooth distance of your phone (I believe this is 20 to 30 feet, but if there are walls in the way the distance is less). Wifi is not needed.
