Fitbit for international travel

[GrampsFit]

My wife has tried to use her Alta as her only watch for international travel. You used to be able to sync to your phone Without an internet connection. At some point in expanding social functions this capability was lost. Internet in many locations outside the states is very expensive. We have done ocean crossing cruises with new time zones almost daily. I was going to get her one of the more watch like Fitbit's. But we travel too much. Guess it will have to be an Apple Watch. Bring Back The Ability To Sync With Only Bluetooth!

Welcome to the Forums @GrampsFit! Thanks for sharing your feedback about the syncing feature and your Fitbit devices. Fitbit trackers have always needed to have an active internet connection to sync your data. However, you don't need to sync your tracker everyday. Fitbit devices can store daily totals for up to 30 days.

I hope this helps! 🙂

Sorry, but "solution" does not solve the problem of time zone changes where internet is expensive or otherwise not available. Need ability to set your watch function with just Bluetooth connection.
