I had my husband handy whenever it arrived because I thought for sure that I was going to need his help setting up my FitBit Zip. In addition to being crazy small and visually nice to look at, it also comes in a variety of colors (black, white, blue, green and pink). Crazy right? You can hide your Zip in your pocket, belt, or better yet wear it in your bra (my favorite place to wear it). I was pleasantly surprised whenever the FitBit Zip arrived, because it was TINY (think the exact opposite of big and bulky).Ĭoming in at only 1.4 inches tall,1.1 inches wide and, weighing in at only 0.282 oz. My husband recently bought me one of those armbands from one of the other health brands, I wasnt much of a fan of having to wear this big bulky band all of the time. I was super pumped whenever I was offered the opportunity to try out the FitBit Zip. The two goals are Run a 5k and Lose weight, both are two things that are critical for me to improve my overall well being.

The Zip tracker is made of thermoplastic while its clip is made from silicone and metal.You might have noticed that two of my 13 goals for 2013 are health and fitness related. The Fitbit Zip tracker is not meant to be worn in direct contact with skin, so Fitbit recommends using the silicone clip when attaching the Zip to a bra or waistband. The Fitbit Zip can be clipped to a belt, waistband, pocket, or bra. The Fitbit Zip is sweat, rain, and splash-resistant, but is not swim-proof, meaning Fitbit does not recommend submerging the Zip in water. The Zip saves motion data for seven days and daily totals for the past 23 days. Fitbit advertises that one battery can last up to six months, though battery life varies with use, settings, and other factors.

To insert or change the battery, use the battery door tool to unlock and open the battery door. The device requires a 3-Volt coin battery that can be replaced but is not rechargeable. The Fitbit Zip includes a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that allows the user to tap through daily statistics. The Fitbit Zip was discontinued and replaced by the Fitbit Inspire clip accessory in March 2019. The Zip is able to sync its data wirelessly to supported mobile devices. The Fitbit Zip tracks steps taken, distance traveled, and calories burned. Fitbit produces activity trackers, smartwatches, and wireless-enabled wearable technology devices that measure various types of data such as heart rate, number of steps walked, steps climbed, and quality of sleep. The Fitbit Zip is produced by Fitbit, Inc., an American consumer electronics and fitness company. The Fitbit Zip was announced in September 2012 and is approximately the size of a United States quarter.
