Can you go for a run with the galaxy gear smart watch and leave galaxy note 3 home?
I like to use runtastic but feel the note 3 is to large to exercise with. I think the smart watch would be a great purchase if it will still track my workout without physically having the note 3 on my run. Is that possible?
Once the device moves out of its Bluetooth range, you will lose connection to the Note 3. Therefore, you will not receive message or incoming call notifications until you are back in range with your device.
The Gear is an extension of your smartphone. It does not have built in WiFi or 3G/4G radios so that it can act as its own device. It relies heavily on its connection to your smartphone.
However, you will still be able to check time, use the camera, and some apps (like the pedometer) that don't require a connection to your phone. Hope this helps.
