Does the watch guide you down the right track without a phone, iphone etc... {Referring to video}

I'm not sure what video you are referring to, but: you need a smart phone in order to use the watch. Without a smart phone it won't do anything except for tell you what time it is. Setting the watch up wasn't super easy, but they have a website and they give you the step by step. In retrospect I would have just bought a heart rate belt that I could have linked with my iPhone - saved the money. As the watch can not run independently with the heart rate monitoring belt without a smart phone.

We decided to get the one withOUT GPS and haven't missed it one time. I guess unless you're really hardcore its not needed. I would say get a GPS for tracking and a camera for pictures but don't mix the two.

Yep. Once you setup your watch, it will give you the option to select which application you would like to export data too. I have mine set to MapMyFiness(same as MapMyRun, but allows me to check their other apps like MapMyRide,MapMyWalk, ect.)and Strava and they both work great. You since the watch via connecting straight to computer or through bluetooth moblie device. I'm using an iPhone 4s and it works great. I only plug my watch in now to recharge battery and download firmware updates. It's so convenient with the Bluetooth connection. Forgot to mention you will need to download the free TomTom MySports app on your mobile device to sync your watch to via bluetooth. After a workout you will then sync your watch to the TTMS app and it will update your account. Once your TTMS account has been updated it will automatically send that same workout info to your other apps. (MapMyRun, Strava, ect.)

Sorry, NO, the GPS cannot be used without the phone within Bluetooth distance. (I thought the question in my email was asking me if I could answer the question, not what the answer to the question was!) If you plan to go running with this watch then you will need to keep your phone with you as well.

Just the watch. You'll probably want a bluetooth hr monitor, like the TICKR Run.

Yes it a watch as well. When I initially received the S2, I used it as a watch. However the problem was there was not enough battery life when I went to play. The GPS function quickly drains the battery, I would say its good for a round and a half.

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

you can use the watch on its own yes, just need a phone to set the clock up how you want it. You do lose phone function, so no calls or text. you can still take pictures and movies from it.

No. I couldn't get the app that they recommended to use for iPhones to even work with my watch. I was hopeful, but you won't be able to receive notifications on your watch from your phone, ie no text messages on your watch.

You need an iphone or other smart phone. The Martian watch is a bluetooth accessory, not a stand alone item.

You can watch it online and also get text mesages ,the gps would switch to live track if the divice goes out of range

Yes, as far as I know, you need some sort of Garmin watch to be able to connect and track your runs.

Yes, you have wifi on the watch, you need a sim card before you can try to see if it will do the hotspot itself, but it works better than my phone at scanning for hot spots. As for Battery back up? I had no idea it had that

The watch operates independently of your cell phone. You must put a SIM card in it, and it will work as a cell phone on its own.

Yes. It's useless without the app. I use an android phone too and hope there's an app soon. I use my iPad to monitor the device.

No it is only for home use. Try ICAM since you can watch you home from anywhere with a smart phone or iPhone.

You set goals with this watch. No target zones just a status bar of how close you are to meeting the goal for the day. Calories steps miles are all metrics used by this watch.Also if you are looking to use the blue tooth feature u should plan on owning an Iphone.
