Will it track steps climbed on stairs, and down again? The comparison with the Fitbit One seemed to suggest it wouldn't track stairs!!????

I am only familiar with it tracking steps, it does not show how many stairs have been climbed.

No, the zip does not track stairs. You would need one of the other Fitbits for that

It tracks steps but not stairs (like climbed.) For stair climbing you'll want a Fitbit One. Fitbit Flex and Zip will just count those stairs as steps, which means if you are looking for calories burned it may not show as high as you really did since climbing stairs is harder than taking a level step.

It does count steps weather on stairs or flat ground, but does not tell you which were stairs.

My Fitbit One counted steps in the car too! Did you end up buying the Omron?

I believe that it depends on how slow you walk. While volunteering in a classroom, I slowly walked around the student desks and noticed that it didn't register all my steps. I regret I can't be more specific. This was my only negative with the pedometer (other than it doesn't wash well!)

No it does not. You have to start the pedometer in order for it track your steps.

Yes it does count steps while walking in place just tested it out as I wear mine everyday.

I just tested out my fitbit one to see if it would count leg shaking as steps, and it will not if you have it attached to the hip as instructed. If you have it sitting on your knee, then yes, it will count the shaking as steps, but keep it secure at your waste or in your pocket and you'll be safe.

Actually, that is not completely true. It will not track upper body activity if you are not walking/running at the same time if you wear it on your body( as on your bra)/ in your pocket, on your pants. But, it seems to work if you are doing upper body ( arms, hands) if you wear it on your wrist. I am a potter- working on a wheel many days, or some days, just loading heavy boxes into a car. I change the fitbit depending on what kind of activity I'm doing.

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

You have to turn it on each morning, but it will count the total daily steps. Make sure you do not accidentally hit the watch on anything as it will change/stop the settings depending on which button is pressed.

Hello. It does track your steps but it will not track your sleep patterns at this time. I hope this answers your question.Kind Regards,~Team PAPAGO!

Nope, it sure can't. It doesn't have much of the functionality of the FitBit either. This is just a barebones pedometer with flimsy screen and ability to upload step data. No pause.

I'm guessing you mean the pedometer? I think it works as well as pedometers in general work. I've never owned a pedometer that was 100% accurate. I bought the watch for my dad so I haven't used it myself. He hasn't complained that it doesn't work but he feels like I do, not many pedometers are accurate.

I have NO problems with my tracker as long as it is positioned correctly. I wear mine on the top of my shoe and it seems to be giving me great results. I have not used any other tracking device such as fitbit etc. so I really have nothing to compare it with. But for the price, I am very happy with it. I liked it so much that after I lost my first one, I ordered the second one. They are very addictive. :) Hope this helps. For more comments, you can go directly to SparkPeople.com to check it out.

All the Fitbits will count your steps and are simple to use. It just depends how much you want to spend on it. I love mine! Good motivator to keep moving.

Hi Jaye.I love this. It starts tracking your Movements when you start walking. It turns off when you stop and begin again when you're walking.As for shutting off for the day once you remove it from your body and not put it back on it will stay off. It will start overy the beginning of the next day with new date and time.It keeps track of your steps for seven days so that you can see your progress. When you hit your 10,000 steps a little person dance around.

It tracks steps, miles walked, and calories burned. Once you get your account set up on line you can track these items plus track your calorie intake (with a little effort on your part). The FitBit has helped me to lose 16 lbs so far and it keeps you "honest".

Yes, It will track active movement, like fast walking or jogging, from just slow walking. Slow walking does not register as active movement but will still track steps. You can set what your own active movement goal! FYI: Don't listen to the other post about arm movement. That is incorrect. It does not register your arm movement as steps, and if you keep your arms still it WILL still track steps. I've had mine since last Christmas, love it.
