  • Affordable; tracks steps, distance and calories burned; up to six months of battery life
  • It doesn't track sleep or stairs climbed
  • The Fitbit Zip is still a great entry-level tracker for people that don't want to wear a wristband...

  • Abstract:  The Fitbit Flex is a cool-looking, lightweight wristband that tracks and monitors your daily activity and sleep patterns. It syncs with a desktop dashboard and mobile app to give you up-to-date activity data in gorgeous graphs. You can compete with Fitbit-using friends and even upgrade to a premium Daily Trainer service. I found the Fitbit Flex gave me added motivation to walk or run that bit further, and keep an eye on my weight and fitness activities. It’s addictive and fun, and if that gets you moving more and generally fitter and leaner it’s better for you than most other computing or mobile devices.....

  • Small, simple, display is ideal for the task, weatherproof
  • Pretty much nothing
  • It might lack the gloss of the Nike+ FuelBand, but the Fitbit Zip is simple, discrete and accurate. It extends beyond the simple tracking of steps through the Fitbit universe, making this part of a wider lifestyle choice....

  • The FitBit Zip is ideal if you want to join the life-logging brigade but can't or won't spend £80 upwards on an activity tracker. It's basic, but unless you really want sleep tracking or the stair-tracking features of Fitbit's other trackers, it's a barga...

  • Ideal for those who need gentle encouragement to get more active; can take account of different types of activity
  • Ironically, the potential for stat analysis on the dashboard could actually increase your screentime!
  • FitBit is ideal for the moderately active person, who doesn't want to be nagged about skipping Zumba class, but needs encouragement to be a little more active in their everyday life. Many people will find they're already doing quite a lot already

  • The Fitbit Zip, despite its name, isn’t for fitness freaks. It’s useless for cyclists, and largely so for runners. But that low price tag and long battery life might just be enough to get couch potatoes up off the sofa. It’s a tiny, persistent gizmo de...

  • Inexpensive, minimalistic, solid display,
  • Limited set of features, few ways to influence healthy habits
  • All in all, the Fitbit Zip is our favorite clip-on fitness tracker that we have tested, earning it the Top Pick Award. It doesn't have the largest set of features and functions, but it gets the job done for basic fitness tracking...
