Do you have to sync it to your phone? Does it use Data?
This is a present for my dad and he practically has no data every month for his phone (it's a wireless card he lives in the wilderness). Will syncing use his data and can he just use it without syncing to his phone?
This will be a great gift in that situation! The band comes with an ANT USB connector that you can use to sync it with your computer if you don't want to use it with your phone. The app uses data to sync your stats with your online profile, so for the user on limited data using the PC to update your records is the best way to go.
The band also functions by itself very well. I actually only sync mine once every few days, but still use it regularly to track steps taken, distance traveled and calories burned throughout the day. It's also been great as a watch!
