I finally caved in for two reasons - one my job requires a lot of drive time and though I work out each morning, I was really curious as to how much actual activity I was getting in each day and how many calories I burn. And two, I participate in a Vitality program through work which gives discounts of healthy insurance and prizes - Amazon gift certificates for me - when my fitness and health is logged; so now I can get additional points with this little gadget; and seeing how much activity I do is pretty interesting!
Set up was quick and a breeze - worth noting there are no actual instructions as such in the box, just the website to set this up! It is small enough to wear under clothes (sometimes I keep it in my purse during the day -still works the same) and does more than I thought! Not only does it track steps, but through the app on my phone I can also input other workouts I do such as swimming , what I have eaten (though you have to get a little creative on this as it is not as comprehensive as something like My Fitness Plan which has many more food types to choose from), how much water I have had, and it will tell me calories in verses calories out! If you are looking to lose weight, you can input a goal and it will tell you how many calories you are allowed each day verses how much you have burned via exercise and the steps you have taken.
This little gizmo syncs whenever it is close to my phone and for those that have something like a Vitality or other health account, I was able to input my Fit Bit account information and earn points within 24 hours of my activity ! It really is interesting seeing how many steps you take! Day one I had no problem hitting 12000 as I had a tough workout including the elliptical and treadmill, both of which really rack up the steps total; but day two began with swimming which though I can log for calorie burn, does not count towards steps, and that combined with a long drive time, meant hitting 5000 was hard! Now I am really incentivized to do more activity in the evening to get my step count up!
Great device, really good for tracking overall fitness , comes with all you need including a great little cover with a grip that means this things stays put (even in a very hot, humid yoga class - trust me I tried)! Wish I had purchased this sooner!!
I had the tracker in the belt clip when I first tried to get it to sync with the fitbit site and it drove me nutty until I figured out it had to be out of the holder/clip. Once I got the number to enter on my computer the unit has functioned flawlessly. Unlike most cheap pedometers this one works in any position on your body. It tells you the time of day, steps taken, distance and calories burned.
update: 1-8-16
My fitbit zip has been stashed in a chest of drawers for about 8 months or more. The cheesy silicone case unraveled in short order with the metal clip pushing through the end area of the clip. You would like to think the case would provide the customer some reasonable time frame before it self destructs. The other thing I find galling is the replacement cost of this little piece of silicone. It is a ridiculous amount of money for something that has an inherent failure. I still think the zip is a nifty piece of hardware but the silicone case is just WRONG!
I suffered a fair amount of frustration with the initial software installation due to the lack of clear instructions in the package. I am an old school guy who likes to read and follow printed instructions on a piece of paper. I tend to think most of the issues people have with this pedometer is due to the lack of a decent set of instructions in the box. OR..they could make it clear that you need to have the unit out of the belt clip to make the initial settings and get the number for getting it to sync.
Last, I really like the sync with myfitnesspal.com it makes keeping your food log a breeze. The food log on fitbit can be a pain to use if you have been using myfitnesspal food log.
Great little device. If you are worried about batteries, then order some more on Amazon for a couple bucks. They generally have a 10 year life sitting on the shelf.
Update: May 23, 2014.. I love the feedback report I get from fitbit sent to my email inbox. It gives me all the numbers for the week. And I can't say enough about how it syncs with myfitnesspal.com. I still think a lot of the complaints are due to the lack of a simple "quick start" printed instructions included in the box. I now have one more item to keep me looking around the house. I can add this device to the search for my car keys, glasses, wallet etc. So far no quality issues to complain about and am really pleased with the fitbit zip.
