I am mainly interested in step tracking and then somewhat curious about the ones that show you how well you sleep. I have not worn a watch since college.

My mom have this fit blaze with android it dont show text just shows new message now my wife got the fit blaze with iphone it shows the text.

I think it was less $$ and probably has a manly version.

Most of them have a screen that shows you your step count. You really only need the app if you want to do any kind of stuff with the data (like calculate calorie burn, sync to another app, share with your friends, etc.) On 8/29/2016 11:24 AM, Simon Westlake wrote: I believe so, but I haven't tried it. You'd need the app to do anything with it though, although it looks like there is one in the Windows app store at least.

Sends data to the phone via Bluetooth, phone uploads it to the Fitbit website if you want to sync it to other stuff (e.g. I sync mine to MyFitnessPal.) They just charge via USB, little proprietary cable that connects to the back. On 8/29/2016 11:20 AM, [email protected] wrote: Thinking of getting a fitness tracker.� Getting too fat this summer.
