Bluetooth

[Carrie Greicar]

I am looking at getting a fossil Q venture and I was wondering if anyone knows the bluetooth range. How far can I be away from my phone on and still receive messages and notifications? Thanks

Bluetooth range is hard to quantify. Depends on stuff like walls, furniture, especially metal stuff, and on interference from other electronic signals. It's also hard for me to estimate because if the phone is out of Bluetooth range I still get my notifications through WiFi.

All that being said I don't know how good this guess is, but I would guess the range is about 15-20 feet or about 1 room away

I have the Fossil Q Explorist, which is similar enough to the Venture for comparison. At work I'll often leave my phone at my desk when I'm moving around talking to people. Many times I've had notifications come through when I was across the hall over 50' away. Normal Bluetooth range may be 30', but you can get a good signal further than that at times.
