    I thought it always needed the phone nearby, no? I’m really only interested if it’s 100% standalone.

      Need the phone to sync, the watch can keep track of health data until it gets back close to the watch. If you have the cellular version, and an applicable data plan, you can make and receive calls with it without your phone, too.

      Strictly speaking, they also have wifi, but power management on them (due to the limited battery) makes it pretty difficult to actually use effectively.

        I honestly don’t care about health data, and would prefer it to not track that anyway for privacy reasons. I’m pretty healthy, so it’s really not a concern I have.

        I just want to carry less crap when I’m riding my bike.
