Do You Need a Smartphone to Use a Smartwatch?

From what I understand you do not need a smartphone at all if you want a smartwatch.

That's a good question. I hope someone here has the answer for you. I avoid any kind of watch, I have a hard time reading small print

There are some watches out there that can give you cell service so you can use more functions. And while you don't need a smart phone for most watches to work, you do need it to track and record data . It would depend on what you're using it for, and what you want to get out of it. Fitness trackers like Fitbit, do everything on the watch, but you need the app (and pay for it) to get all the features. So, it depends on what you're trying to do.

I have no idea, I barely use my smartphone.

I’m clueless. Hopefully someone knows.

I have witnessed folks talking to their watches. Is the watch another form of smart phone?

If you only want to track your steps and monitor your sleep, perhaps a smartbracelet will be much more suitable. It is less expensive and its battery can last longer than a smartwatch. Of course its price is also lower.

It isn't a requirement to use a smartphone with a smartwatch, but as Kayla described below you get more functions with it. I think I killed my smartwatch charger I need to order another.

A lot of it can be read on the watch. But for more information on sleep quality you need the app. Fitbit has an app that you can download on most computers. It's free so check the play store on whatever you are using.

Sorry I can't help but I'll be reading the comments with interest.

Most of the information I look at is on the Fitbit app. If you can get the app on your computer, you wouldn't need a smart phone. Do you have a tablet? My tablet is easy to get apps on.

I am sorry because I am clueless on this subject. I'm not interested in owning a smartwatch. Can you get any apps on your flip phone? It's been a long time since I used a flip phone, I can't remember all that it did. You could get a good smart phone from Wal-Mart, like an LG which I use. I think we paid between $50-60 for it. We use Tracfone as our provider because it is cheaper than when we were with Verizon. We buy cards as we need them, maybe 2-3 times a year versus what we were paying Verizon monthly ($60) Tracfone is part of Verizon so you'd be using their cell tower networks. Just a thought.

I don’t know . I count my steps with my phone.

I think you do
