How does it track steps if it's cliped on a bra, does it not need to measure your stride? Or is it the same concept at the wrist band trackers?

It measures just the same as a tracker on your waist- however you must wear in a shoe if you want it to differentiate between walking and biking and elliptical when using in conjunction with the site or spark people app. I also will tell you this tracker is NOT worth the money. Easy to lose, not accurate, and while cheaper spend the extra $30 and go with a better tracker. If you at using the SP site, you can link ANY tracker to their site that can link to a phone.

As long as you adjust the stride length for your running step it should be accurate. I have occasionally jogged intervals and have never had it come loose or fall off clothing. This is the only model I buy because it usually lasts about 4 yrs and the cover prevents accidentally resetting your counts.

Kinda. It is a legitimate pedometer. But you need a friend with the game, at least to activate it. What you should have them do is send a Pokemon, from their game, to your Pokewalker. Then they can take it back. After that, you will have the step counter visible. :) You only need a friend with HeartGold or SoulSilver, to activate it.

It isn't sophisticated. All it's measuring is your arm movement (or wherever you're wearing your Fitbit). You could walk or jog holding your arm still and it will think you aren't moving. Or you can shake your arm up and down and it will count it as steps. I did try and count my steps and check it for accuracy. For example, I was close to 6000 steps, then counted another 400. It came out pretty close to 6400, give or take 10 or 12. The trouble is, I'm not that great at walking and counting at the same time! (That's why I need something that does the counting.)

It tracks steps. That is what it use when on treadmill mode (haven't tested it). From some manual: "...treadmill capabilities. The TomTom utilizes an internal accelerometer to measure pace and distance indoors without the use of GPS. It does this by evaluating arm swing and cadence to determine pace". On one of your exported sport sites, like mysports.tomtom.com, you can see stats like "STRIDES / min". Also, for bikes, there is an external sensor you can buy.

No, it seems to start tracking whenever you put it on in the morning or whenever. There's no turning it on or off as it seems to always be on once attached. Resets itself at midnight. You can track a specific distance or set of steps by noting where you're at step-wise when you head out on a certain walk and noting the number when you stop, but, no, you can't press a button to measure a certain set.

It can be used for walking, but it does not count steps. If you want to count steps all day long, this is not the right product. This is a gps watch, so it will track all the details of your route (battery is about 4 hours when the gps is on).

It will count the steps and base the calories, etc on steps, but whether it counts it as workout minutes depends on whether you move for 10 minutes straight without stopping. I have yet to have it pick up any of my workouts as "workout minutes/calories" because I do not move constantly when I am working out. I will admit that I am rather disappointed with this particular feature. I workout at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week but because of knee issues, I use machines, so there are breaks between the exercises. Thus, my workouts never get recorded as such.

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

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!

Short answer: yes. It tracks your daily miles and there is an option to start tracking a "workout". It works like a stopwatch. You have to go through some menu functions to get to it but it doesn't take very long. You press the lower right button and the timer goes off. As you work out, you can check your HR, see how many calories you have currently lost, and the distance in miles and steps. You can even pause it for those bathroom breaks or extended water breaks and then press the lower right button to restart the workout. It won't save it so if you have another work out it will over ride it. It's quick and easy without complications of setting anything other than pressing a button to start tracking. I love this watch. Unfortunately, one downfall I started to notice was the clasp that kept the darn thing on your wrist became distrustful. First couple months were without issue and then I noticed after daily wear and removal, the clasp would easily unclasp and my watch would fly across the room or drop to the floor. Some causes were during aggressive movement as in a weight lifting workout or a run, but even during non aggressive movement (walking, dishes, picking things up) it would come off. So, with that said, I lost my favorite watch two weeks ago :-( be weary but don't lit hinder you. I would maybe buy another band and switch it every so often. I hope this helps some how...

Still learning how to use it, but it tracks steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned and other things if you set them up. You put it on you somewhere (pocket, bra) and it will track this activity each day. I have already synched it to myfitnesspal and the new Aria scale that I just set up today. If you use myfitnesspal, it will add the calories burned from fitbit to your total calories allowed to give you a net consumption each day. I am still testing this all out, but I think it is a good way to track your activity, food and weight without having to enter information in multiple places. I like that the fitbit synchs to my computer and iphone via wifi. Still learning how to use it, but it tracks steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned and other things if you set them up.

Do you wear wear something on your wrist now? If so are you willing to wear something else or instead? Do you need a device that is water resistant? Do you want a device that shows data (steps, etc.) on the device itself, or are you willing to look at your phone app/computer dashboard for details? Do you want to track flights of stairs?

it uses a small gyroscope in the band just like many of the fitness bands do. So it determines your distance by estimating your steps over time just like a pedometer. It is a fancy pedometer.

The sensor monitors your running cadence and stride length, but not your steps. The v800 watch counts the steps.

No, it's a GPS watch, not a pedometer. You could theoretically leave it running all day, and it'll tell you how many miles you've walked. But it's not just a step-counter; it tracks distance covered and time/pace.

As far as we know, it just goes thru the regular router, (we have wifi in the house), and it syncs itself to the fitbit thru the computer and thru my android phone. It just syncs the same way as your fitbit does, as well as to "myfitnesspal" on all devices. It also measures your BMI, and gives that to you right after it gives you your weight ( you have to barefoot on it to do this). It recognizes who is on it, as myself, my wife, and my daughter all have our own fitbits.
