Description
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 each day.)
Powered by Fitbit’s leading-edge accelerometer, Zip accurately captures all-day activity that old-school pedometers can’t handle. It bases calculations like calories burned on your personal profile – reflecting your stats, not any average Joe's.
Controls & Display
- Just tap the device face with your fingertip to change the display.
- Each tap cycles through one of five modes:
- Steps
- Distance
- Calories burned
- Fitbit Smiley (highlights your recent activity level)
- Clock
Wireless sync to PC & Mac
- Fitbit’s trackers are the first all day activity trackers to offer Bluetooth Smart connectivity, so you see your stats in real-time.
- Syncing occurs automatically any time Zip is within about 20 feet of the wireless sync dongle and is relatively motionless. The dongle plugs into your Mac or PC's USB port. Syncing and uploading require use of the Fitbit uploader application.
Wireless sync to mobile
- Syncing Zip to your smartphone or tablet requires Bluetooth 4.0/Bluetooth Smart compatibility. This is currently available on:
- iPhone 4S, 5
- iPad 3, Retina
- iPad mini
- iPod touch, 5th generation
- Samsung Galaxy S4
- Samsung Galaxy S III
- Samsung Galaxy Note II
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
The Fitbit mobile app works with all smartphones for logging data, receiving notifications, and viewing graphs and charts based on your last sync.
Memory
We recommend syncing your data regularly. As long as Zip has minimum battery power, it tracks up to seven days of detailed, minute-by-minute data. For the preceding 23 days, it summarises your daily calories, distance and steps taken.

The battery inside Zip lasts four to six months. It has a low battery indicator on the LCD screen. To change your battery, use the battery door tool to unlock and open the door. Remove the battery, place the new battery into the cavity, and close the door.
