Fitbit Zip wireless activity tracker — Black clip-on pedometer, 1 Count, lightweight 3-axis accelerometer

The Fitbit Zip in Charcoal is a compact wireless activity tracker that records steps, distance and calories and syncs to compatible computers and select smartphones.

Lightweight and unobtrusive, the Zip helps you notice daily movement patterns and turn small changes into consistent progress. It uses an accelerometer to capture activity more accurately than traditional pedometers, then wirelessly transfers your data so you can set targets, compare days and stay motivated with friends.

How does the Zip accurately track my daily activity?

The Zip relies on Fitbit’s motion-sensing accelerometer to detect steps and convert them into distance and calorie estimates. Unlike basic pedometers, it recognizes varied movement throughout the day for more reliable totals.

• Three-axis accelerometer captures motion in multiple directions
• Calculates distance using your stride length and step count
• Estimates calories burned based on activity and your profile

What devices can sync with the Zip and how does syncing work?

Zip automatically syncs activity data to Windows PCs, Macs and select Apple devices, so your totals update in the Fitbit dashboard. Syncing happens wirelessly when the tracker is in range of the paired computer or compatible iPhone/iPad.

• Wireless sync to Windows and Mac computers via USB dongle
• Compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and 3rd-gen iPad
• Data appears in the Fitbit app and online dashboard for progress tracking

Where and how can I wear the Zip for best results?

The Zip is designed to be versatile: clip it to a pocket, belt, waistband or bra, or tuck it into a pocket for a discreet option. Its compact form lets it stay out of the way while still capturing everyday movement.

• Clip included for secure attachment to clothing
• Slim profile fits in pockets or clipped visibly on a belt
• Water-resistant for daily wear (not a swim tracker)

How will the Zip help me stay motivated?

By showing clear daily totals and progress, the Zip turns small choices into measurable results. You can set step goals, compare days, and connect with friends to make activity social and consistent.

• Set personalized step goals and view daily progress
• Compare activity trends over time in the Fitbit dashboard
• Challenge friends or family for friendly competition

Who is this for? The Fitbit Zip in Charcoal is ideal for anyone who wants a simple, honest way to track everyday movement without a bulky wrist device. It suits beginners seeking motivation, commuters who want to boost daily steps, and active people who prefer a discreet clip-on tracker that syncs with their computer or compatible Apple device.
