The pedometer is nothing new. It's a gadget that's been around for many years, keeping track of steps taken and giving you an idea of how active you've been during that day. If you work in a sedentary profession, like sitting in an office, and always...

The FitBit Zip is a wireless activity tracker that syncs fitness data to your Mac, iPad or iPhone. See our iPhone 5 review . Office workers are particularly prone to aches and pains, much of which can be fixed by sitting properly, taking regular monit...
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...

With the cost of a gym membership reaching ridiculous levels, a gadget like the Fitbit Ultra makes a fair amount of sense for anyone looking to shed a few kilos. But at $US100/£80/$AU120, the Ultra is a bit on the pricey side for a lot of people. Enter th...

Earlier this year we reviewed the Fitbit Ultra, a wireless activity tracker or digital pedometer that counts your daily steps and logs the data in an easily presentable manner. Fitbit is now back with a smaller device that essentially does the same thi...

The FitBit Zip's tiny design, long-lasting battery and wireless synchronising capabilities make it a great "clip and forget" device that should keep you motivated. However, the non-backlit screen and the lack of an altimeter to count stairs climbed are do...

Find yourself looking at your waistline in the mirror, mourning those extra pounds that have slowly slipped on over the years? You could go on a crash diet, shovelling down nothing but Rice Krispies for months on end, but they say the best changes are...
The Fitbit Zip is as adorably tiny as its name suggests. It weights just 8g, clipping onto your clothing, getting to work, and before you know it you’ve forgotten it’s there and you’ve clocked 8,000 steps already. The colourful little critter keeps track of your steps, distance covered and calories burned with remarkable accuracy, but it’s how it then shares them that really stands out.Though it’...
Fitness nuts will immediately run up against the problems with the Fitbit Zip. Literally. Although it can judge steps and calories burnt, it can’t take elevation into account (so won’t praise you for traipsing up ten storeys every day) or the speed you’re moving at. And it flat out doesn’t work for cycling. It’s also missing a few features from the Fitbit One, including sleep tracking and a backl...
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...

For months, I’ve used . It’s a tiny, rechargeable device that tracks every step I take; at a glance I can see the number of steps I’ve taken, how many miles I’ve walked, and even the floors I’ve climbed for the current day. And the device syncs that da...

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 mo...

The FitBit Zip is an activity tracker from a whole three years ago. But it still does the job just fine. It's simple, so there's no pressing need for any part of it to be upgraded. At $79, it's a bargain compared to the new Charge HR or Jawbone UP24, or b...

I've been walking around with a Fitbit Zip in my pocket for the last week. Most of the time I forget it's there. And then I remember to look and realise how lazy I've been. Is this activity-monitoring gadget the kind of thing that can get you into shape...
You should probably buy it for someone else. It would make a nice present for your mum or dad, and the price is reasonable at $70 RRP in Australia. But it's hard to make a case for this thing over Fitbit's own newly announced Fitbit One, which has an alti...

It's not often it happens, but there was another gift that headed past my table in the past months, and it was a Fitbit Zip. As I recently reviewed the Fitbit One, most of the comments about apps and setup apply, so I won't reiterate them. Instead, this...
The Fitbit Zip is the most basic of their fitness trackers. I suppose if you like the Fitbit app/platform, want to connect with Fitbit friends and compete with them, then this is a lower cost entry route to the platform. It's also a good choice if you wan...
