If you're not into wearing watch style trackers then this is a good one for you. It also has a replaceable battery so no need to charge every week.

I received one of these for a program that work was doing as part of a new "get fit" program. Setup was easy, but the accuracy of steps tracked was terrible. 5 of us decided to do a little experiment and walk the same distance at lunch one day. I know not everyone takes the same size steps, but some of the numbers were off by over 30%. Some people still wear theirs out of habit, mine sits unused. I'm still waiting for a better alternative.

I was so excited to see a fitbit product at a cheaper price. My ultra got wet and stopped working and I didn't want to spend $100 so I bought the fitbit zip. I was so disappointed with it. I didn't like the size, I thought it was too big and I didn't like the fact that you had to tap it to see your different items - steps, calories, etc. You have to tap it at exactly the right place and I didn't feel like that would work long term. I just felt like the quality of the product wasn't where I wanted it to be. I returned it and will buy the new fitbit ultra.

the fitbit zip seems to be a piece of junk. I have only had mine a few weeks and now nothing works right. The time may or may not be right, it may or may not respond to taps. Sometimes it will sync, but often it won't. Worst of all is when it loses the steps you have taken midday. From reading what others have gone through it seems as though all of this is common among users. Total waste of money!

I had the Fitbit ultra and it stopped working after 3 months! I have had this one for 3 months and no problems.

Bst pedometer ever. With the app integration it is easy to stay motivated to get your daily steps in.

it is pretty good, not the best, look online and do research.

I have the Ultra. I didn't think I needed the sleep tracking capabilities so when the Zip came out I figure save money and get the same stuff without the sleep tracker. However, the tapping is abit iffy, you can't see the info very well unless it's in a well lit area. I have an iPhone 4S and it would not connect with my bluetooth. Maybe it was a faulty Zip but after 3 days of trying to connect it. I returned it and stuck with my Ultra. I'm waiting for the ONE to come out in a couple weeks instead.

But yeah, I mean, when it's on sale. Look online first.

Love it husband uses it every day is very sad if he forgets it!

Wanted access to my FB account info to include friends. Alternative was my google mail info to include contacts info. Nope. This is ridiculous. I just want a pedometer. At $50 I should be able to use this without giving out information. Will be returned.

I'll start by saying I love my Ultra Fitbit so I was excited to replace the ultra for something cheaper and that used Bluetooth to sync with my phone- I was disappointed! The syncing only works when I remember to do it manually on my phone (not automatic like I thought), so if i don't do it right before bed, all my data from the previous day is lost. The ultra has the ability to 'remember' data for 14 days, so syncing every night isn't as much of an issue. Could be user error, and if so- then they need better directions! The quality and touch screen just aren't that great. I'll either go back to the ultra or wait for the One, to see if its better quality.

While the small size is a definite plus, the fact that how it estimates calories and distance is very disappointing. Just by putting in the battery according to the fitbit I burned 564 calories! The Fitbit comes with a silicon case to protect it from the weather/sweat but because I juggle it a little getting it on, the Fitbit counted that as several steps. Which isn't a big thing except there is no way to zero out the counter. I couldn't find anything on the FitBit site either. You just have to wait until the next day.

This product fulfills my need. I had a bit of trouble in sync at the beginning but got some help from customer service and it worked.

I have used the Fitbit Zip for a couple of years. I have loved it. However, the Fitbit website has recently been changed and no longer gives you the ability your total steps over time. When feedback on their community boards requested to bring this back they responded that they would inform the community "if" it would be returned. When many people posted urging it to be fixed, Fitbit then said it should be fixed in a few weeks. My company gives incentives on our heatlh insurance based on total steps in a year. Right now, Fitbit has no way to total those for you. Not good enough.
