Designed to Keep You Moving

By showing you how your day is stacking up, Zip encourages you to get up and go – and keep going! It helps you make those small changes that can add up to something big. (No wonder Fitbit users average 43% more steps per day.)

Zip Tracks:

• Steps taken
• Calories burned
• Distance travelled

Powered by Fitbit's leading-edge accelerometer, Zip accurately captures all-day activity that conventional pedometers can’t handle. It bases calculations like calories burned on your personal profile to reflect your stats, not just some faceless average person.

Fits into Your Day and Your Pocket

Wear it in your pocket, on a belt or a bra – this Zip tracker is as discreet or as visible as you want it to be. Its silicone clip will keep you comfortable throughout the day. Zip is also rain-proof, splash-proof and sweat-proof. With a replaceable watch battery that lasts up to 6 months, it’s excuse-proof too.

Syncs Wirelessly and Automatically

Zip automatically syncs your information to PCs, Macs, iPhone 4S, 5, iPod touch and iPad 3 as well as select Android devices. That means no buttons to push, no data to enter, just real-time access to your stats and the Fitbit dashboard anytime of day or night.
