Activity recording / GPS
Can it track and record your jog or run (by this I mean your route or path) using the watch's GPS without needing to have my phone on me? Or do I need to have my phone with me to utilize the GPS tracking feature?
Yes, you have to have your phone nearby, it connects via bluetooth. I carry my phone with me anyways in case of emergency, either in my hand or a fanny or bike pack. If you don't want to have to carry your phone with you, you need the Fitbit Surge.
