Fitbit - Zip Wireless Activity Tracker - Magenta

I would recommend this to anyone that absolutely cannot find the time to exercise, this counts steps walked, calories burned and much more. Being able to see this makes me move around alot more!! I've lost 5lbs without even trying.

Have used this tracker now for about two weeks and just having it on my hip makes me want to take more steps to meet the daily goal so it is working.

One of the two things I make sure I wear everyday. I always try to get 10,000 steps a day. It's great paired with my iPhone. If only it also tracks sleep, that would be the best. But overall it was a great buy!

The FitBit Zip is awesome. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to track your steps/distance, this is the right device. It's super small and not noticeable under clothes. I put it in my pocket if I wear jeans, or I clip it onto my waistband if I wear shorts or a skirt. The steps seem accurate. I really enjoy earning "badges" for accomplishing new things -- i.e. walking over 20,000 steps in a day. Overall, this is a great motivator. This device has made me aware on the days that I haven't been as active (getting only 3,000 steps in a day is a bummer!).

I have really enjoyed my Zip. It functions exactly as it should and provides me with helpful information about my daily activity. What I really love about it is the community function via the fitbit website. This allows you to link up with others (friends, family, etc.) who have fitbit products also and you can compete with them daily to see who has taken the most steps. I am competitive by nature so this has really encouraged me to up my game. I always enjoy when I come out on top and have bragging rights, and when I fall behind I become more motivated to up my activity for the next day.

Well, my friends have talked me into keeping a fitbit on me to track my daily walking/activity. Well, first thing you will notice is that this thing will hurt your feelings. Everyone says a normal active person should be taking 10,000 steps a day - well after a day with just 2000 steps - you realized it is either going to become your new best friend or a specter that will haunt your days. I decided to befriend the little demon and now I am getting over 10000 steps a day on average. Side effects include weight loss, better sleep and more energy. Also, when you convince your other friends to get one and start using the fitbit app on your smartphone - it becomes a tool for taunting and bragging to all the other people you know who think 2000 steps a day is a lot! The device itself is extremely simple and easy to use. The Android app can be at times. You use your smartphone bluetooth connection to sync/track your steps - creating a daily activity log. With this app you also can make friends (social media aspect and bragging tools!) along with setting challenges and completing goals. It is all about fortune and glory - so get one and get walking! PS: I washed mine by accident once - still works fine - so it is really sturdy!

I purchased the Fitbit Zip as a birthday gift for my mom, who just so happens to have recently gotten back into the habit of going for a daily walk. She had tried some cheaper activity trackers prior to this one and even bought a Garmin (which she sent back). However, nothing she tried had the right combination of ease-of-use and features that she was looking for. Until now. The Zip is an all-day tracker that logs your steps, distance, calories burned, and total active minutes. It features wireless syncing, an easy-to-understand touch screen that displays data when you tap it, long battery life, and it clips to your belt or pocket easily. Or, if you're like my mom, you can toss into your pocket and just forget about it. So, does she like it? You bet. She loves how easy it is to use, how light it is, and the fact that she doesn't have to worry about resetting it every day. The Fitbit Zip might be the cheapest tracker of the bunch, and it might not have all the bells and whistles of its higher end siblings, but it's more than adequate for your average user. Highly recommended.

My wife loves it, she hooks it to her sock every morning. The only downfall is she is replacing the battery about every 6 weeks instead of the advertised 6 months. It also does not always easily sync to her phone, but since she just wants step counts it does a great job.
