Notifications
Over 200 different iOS, Android, and Windows phones can send call, text, calendar,
and other types of notifications to your watch. Keep in mind the phone and watch
must be within 30 feet of each other to receive notifications. If you’re not sure
whether your phone is compatible with this feature, go to
http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
Calendar requirements
For calendar events, Ionic shows the title, location, and time of the event in addition
to any details you’ve entered. To receive calendar alerts on your watch, make sure
you allow the calendar app on your phone to send notifications.
Calendar notification
For iPhones and Windows 10 phones, Ionic shows notifications from all calendars
synced to the default Calendar app.
For Android phones, Ionic shows calendar notifications from the calendar app you
chose during setup. Choose from the default Calendar app on your phone or several
third-party calendar apps.
You can also turn on notifications from third-party calendar apps under
App
Notifications
