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.
