Hi @Maldonado7777, welcome to the community. 

 

Yes you can take your Versa 2 on a run without your phone. Just bear in mind you will lose the ability to track the run using GPS as the Versa 2 hasn't got onboard GPS (it uses the phones GPS), so you won't see a map of your run. It will still record your steps, Heart rate, calorie burn and distance (distance will be calculated using the pedometer - number of steps x stride length).

 

The only current Fitbit trackers that feature onboard GPS are the Ionic and Charge 4.
