Fitness tracker no app

[lordVoldemort]

An elderly family member would like a fitness tracker for Xmas but does not have a smartphone. Think he basically wants to be able to measure steps and heart rate, nothing too complicated. All of the ones I have had a look at need a smartphone to set it up, can anyone recommend a fitness tracker that you can use without a smartphone? Thanks

A Fitbit will show on the watch screen your steps and heart rate you don’t have to use the app.
the app just records it so you have the info the next day stored.

Thanks Cranky. He was told in the store that you need the smartphone to initially set up a Fitbit is that not the case?

OP I think you do need to do that and regardless I think you will be overpaying for a fibit (I love my fitbit) and not using the app.
One of the reasons they are pricey is the app
Have you checked Garmin or maybe just google "wrist pedometer"?
What a lovely pressie

Ok so this one does do the heart but you get the idea
