FitbitZip Wireless Activity Tracker, Charcoal

I needed some encouragement to be more active. The Fibit Zip allowed me to tangibly see how inactive I had become. I soon realized I was only walking about 1,200-2,500 steps a day. In my mind, I was moderately active as I spent a good portion of my day on my feet cooking and cleaning, so this was quite a shocking revelation. It turns out, my day consists of a lot of standing, so while I may not be lounging all day, I'm certainly not expending a ton of energy. Here are some of the lifestyle changes it inspired:-I now park my car in the outmost part of the parking lot-I pace around my house in 10 minute spurts to get another 1,000 steps-I get up and walk in place during commercial breaks-I walk around different grocery stores comparing prices (getting steps in and saving $$)-I go on nightly walks and dont stop until I hit 10,000-I'm much more motivated to clean knowing I'm getting valuable steps inIt has become a personal challenge to find ways to sneak extra steps in. I am so pleased with the purchase for the awareness it has provided me. Highly recommend!

My wife loses hers every other month, sometimes she finds it.

This is my second Fitbit zip. I have had it only a month the and the battery needs to be replaced. I had one for many years and it stopped working ,but the battery always lasted more than a month. I am very disappointed that it says the battery will last longer on this new one and already I have to replace it. If it was not for the battery having to be replaced in less than a month I would have given it a 5 star rating.

This device sucks battery power so expect to have to change the battery every day. Also it wouldn’t sync with the app. Very disappointing since I love this style and wanted to keep my Fitbit info without having to go with a watch type.

I just love this little thing! It motivates me to keep moving and as a result, burn more calories than I would without this motivation! The larger one counts steps taken and sleep, this little one just steps and calories (and the time! what a bonus!), but it's only half the price- and I don't thing steps are worth another $50. I can track my own sleep, too. I've gotten mine tied in with sparkpeople.com which is a free weight loss tool.

I LOVE this! My daughter got one for Christmas and promoted it on her blog mealsandmoves.com. As soon as I saw how it motivated her to move even more than she already does I decided I really needed one!! I ordered it, it shipped quickly and I immediately set it up and got to walking!it's fun to see just how many steps we can take in one day. I like the web support. Mine has worked right from the get go!! Love that it can sync with my iphone 4s!I have since bought two more for gifts for others!2 thumbs up!

Not sure why it arrived with a mostly dead battery, disappointing. Also following all the instructions, the android will find the ZIP but the phone app says it needs to sync. It is only useful for looking at to see you mileage for the day, does not sync to keep track of it for the week or to be able to use for your health connections. I did follow all the instructions, have uninstalled and reinstalled. Very disappointing for the price.
