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!

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.

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!).

The Fitbit Zip does what I need it to. I don't need any of the extras on the other Fitbits. It's small so it's easy to clip inside my short or jeans pocket. It measures steps, distance, calories, which is all I need. It's nice that it shows the time on it and has a smile on the first screen. It's easy to sync with the computer and I get weekly reports. My only small complaint is that the screen doesn't always change when I tap it. I have to tap hard or several times but that's not a big problem.

The fitbit zip is small easy to on my hip or on my pocket and very secure. So I have no worries about it falling off. I have it on all the time. Sometimes I go out of my way to walk more, just because I have it on. I like how it can tell when I am more active than other times to help burn more calories. One bad thing I have notice, I wanted the battery to last longer. I had to change out the battery about 2 months after I got it. It as very Very Good fitness tracker.

Works great for my needs. I just wanted to track steps and calories burned so I did not need all the bells and whistles of more expensive fitbits. Love that it shows the number of active minutes from workouts. Phone app is easy to use and understand. I also like that it is small and I can 'hide' it, the world doesn't need to know that I have a fitbit!

I've owned two other pedometers in the past which were priced significantly lower than this one so it was hard for me to justify spending 50 dollars on a pedometer...but then I started using it....
Having your stats available so you can see your progress through history, in addition to having a community available online really motivates me to keep moving! Sadly (before wearing the zip) on days that I worked from home I could easily say there is no way I'd hit anywhere near 10K steps in a day, but seeing my calorie burn, total steps, etc just motivates me to get out and get some steps in!
I like the zip because it's smaller than the average pedometer, it takes a regular battery (I don't like rechargeable because I would inevitably forget to charge it), and isn't complicated to setup/use!

Love this product! Compact, convenient, tracks what I want and knowing it's there keeps me motivated! Syncs right to my phone app and I love that I don't have to constantly charge it like you would a phone. Just have to replace an inexpensive battery every few months. Great value!

3rd FITBIT ZIP for me

My first FITBIT worked great! I wear it all day, everyday. Properly counted steps, uploaded my data correctly, and I had no complaints for about a year and a half, then it just stopped working completely. So, I went and purchased another one because I love it so much. Well, that one was horrible. When you tapped the front display, sometimes it would work, sometimes, wouldn't come on at all. It would not sync properly, and somendays, the step count would randomly reset during the day. Very aggravating. Even replaced battery twice, but same problems. After a couple of months, I gave up and bought a different brand of pedometer. (Worse - but, I won't go into that ).
I went and bought another FITBIT ZIP, and it works great, just like the first one did! I don't know what happened with my second ZIP, but I am happy with this one. Counts steps correctly and no trouble uploading/syncing info ...

Received this as a gift and I love it! This is basically, a high tech pedometer and is the best pedometer ever! I don't like the idea of wearing a fit bit bracelet and I don't care about the sleep tracking the bracelet provide...I would not like wearing something on my wrist overnight anyway. This small Fitbit pedometer clips to my belt and is out of sight, out of mind. It tracks steps, mileage, and calories. It connects to my phone and to my computer (using the included USB dongle) via Bluetooth. I get a weekly fitness report. This thing is really accurate as well. I have tracked mileage with my phone GPS using a running app and the Fitbit is always spot on whether two miles or ten miles! I love this thing and highly recommend!

Motivates you to get the steps in. Surprisingly catches every step though some times takes several seconds before screen changes if have been standing. Don't have to display on wrist like the other big size ones. Is not in your way on your wrist either which I would think golfers tennis basket ball racquet players or someone with wrist bands or guards on would not like. I like the small pocket size a some may not but I was not looking for sport jewelry. no heart rate monitor but I can count. Software to phone is great to Apple desktop a little slower and takes longer to be accurate. Graphing on software is good tracking and helps to motivate a few thousand more steps. Adding a backlight or if there is a hidden one that you could clearly find how to operate would make it a five but I suspect drains battery faster as a feature. I wish they put a clip this good on my other stuff it is really firm in place. Also it may measure your riding lawnmower or ATV bumps as steps which may cause you to use some muscles but not actual steps. The estimated calorie use is very cool.

I love my fit zip. It's small and goes in my pocket or my bra, and I don't have to wear a bracelet all day. It keeps track of my steps taken, gives me the time of day, and how many calories I burned.
Would recommend this product to anyone...

This makes my 2nd purchase of a Fibit tracking device. I simply love it. Simple to use, you just naturally grap it and hook it on your pants as soon as you wake up in the morning. I can keep track of my steps, mileage and calories each day. I just love this device.

Love the size of the Fitbit Zip (until the cat decides it's a toy for him). Easy to stick in my bra or hang on a belt loop. Keeps good count and also gives you the time, calories and distance along with steps. Go online and you get all the charts you could want.

I love this product, especially when I have a friend that also has a fitbit. We are constantly in a competition to walk the most each day. I wake up in the morning and put it in my pocket-- that easy. By the end of the day I almost always make sure to have 10,000 steps and 5 miles. It's so incredibly simple to use! I have 2 complaints-- I spent a little more money than I wished (though I don't regret it) and it requires a bit more effort to log anything besides walking/running.

I absolutely love my new Fitbit Zip! This is perfect for those who are just starting to get into a healthy lifestyle. I really like how I am able to track my steps, see how far I've walked(in miles), and I can track how many calories I've burned as well. I use this in conjunction with the Fitbit app which has tons of different stuff you can do. I'm able to set a daily goal for steps, calorie intake, miles walked, water intake, calories eaten, active minutes for exercise, and I can input lots of different exercises and it is able to let me know how many calories I've burned. It also lets me know if I've gone over my daily limit of calories for the day according to what my goals are. If you don't have a lot of money to spend on one of the other expensive ones then this is the one for you.

I had a Fitbit Force and unfortunately developed skin problems from it so returned it during the voluntary recall - which I thought was a very classy thing for Fitbit to do! In any event, I missed it and knew I wasn't walking as much. I wanted something simple and easy to wear, didn't really want a wrist band so much any more so when Best Buy offered the Zip on one of their daily deals, I was intrigued. I did some research and was pleased with the reviews of it so I purchased it and have been wearing it every day since. So happy to have gotten my steps back up! It actually seems to be more accurate than the Force was.

Though small, this Fitbit records all that I need. I wear it on the waist and it records my steps, miles, time of day, and calories. It syncs easily with my phone, so no problem there. The battery does need replacement about every 4 to 6 weeks. My daughter also has one; it's just the Fitbit that we prefer as I have had other ones. When I travel, I don't always have an internet connection or computer, so this little device still lets me check on my steps.
