How Your Reebok Pulse Connects

Authors list

The Reebok Pulse relies on Bluetooth to communicate directly with your smartphone. This ensures a low-energy, reliable connection for real-time tracking of steps, heart rate, and notifications. Wi-Fi is not used for direct watch connectivity because Bluetooth offers consistent pairing without needing network access.

Why Bluetooth?

  • Low power consumption: Preserves battery life on both the watch and phone.

  • Stable connection: Works indoors or outdoors without relying on Wi-Fi coverage.

  • Immediate sync: Activity data and notifications update instantly when paired.

Using the Reebok Connect App:
While your watch uses Bluetooth to connect, the Reebok Connect app requires Wi-Fi or mobile data on your phone to:

  • Sync data to your Reebok account in the cloud

  • Access online features, software updates, or backup services

  • Download watch faces or app content

Tips for Smooth Connectivity:

  • Keep your watch within Bluetooth range (~10 meters / 33 feet) of your smartphone.

  • Ensure the Reebok Connect app has internet access for cloud syncing.

  • Restart the watch or app if you notice delayed updates.

Disclaimer:
Direct Wi-Fi connectivity on the watch itself is not supported. All cloud features rely on the app using your phone’s internet connection.
