The Vivosmart is more like a Fitbit. I don’t see it as a stand-alone device.

Does it still count steps and track your heart rate without internet?

I tracked a 20 day trip down the Grand Canyon on my VivoSmart.

I think it has the storage for a few months worth of continuous tracking before it needs to sync to free space.

Based on my experience using a Vivosmart 4 for sleep tracking, often in remote areas w/o mobile signal, it does store that data to be synced later. Obviously it has a finite memory but I don't recall having ever lost data from the device.
