Does this scale link wirelessly to Fitbit?

Hmmm. That would be an interesting feature to integrate into the FitBit if its not already there. I'm pretty sure your wrist can be used to calculate BMI through electro impedance and possibly wrist circumference.

Yep. Once you have it set up via the fitbit site and it knows your height/weight, the Zip shows you the following by default: Time, number of steps, estimate of calories burned so far today, distance walked today, and a "smiley face" that depends on how many steps you have walked. The calories burned and your distance is based on your height and weight and are not overly accurate. Via the fitbit site, you can have your Zip display all or any of these values. Very convenient once it is set up the way you like (a one time setup is all it takes).

Yes there is an app...called Garmin connect...the vivofit does not automatically send stats to your phone ...connect by Bluetooth and sync...

Yes. You have a choice of methods. Fitbit may count "steps" while you are using the elliptical machine, but the other way would be to track "Activities" where "elliptical - high resistance," "moderate" and "low resistance" are choices. You would input the amount of time and resistance level, and Fitbit calculates calories burned. It would also negate any steps counted during the time period.

It pairs with your WiFi network, and send information to the fitbit cloud servers. The fitbit app/cloud consolidates information from each of your device, e.g. I have the fitbit flex and aria, and I see both results in the fitbit app.

The camera reads a code the scale generates. You can input manually as well. At first I thought it was hokey, but in all honesty it's worked well. I think, given the nature of bluetooth, this is a simple, but more utilitarian option. I can attest to having done this about 30 days in a row. Guess what? Monitoring your weight daily keeps you honest with yourself. This in itself will probably help you lose weight, if that's what you're looking for.

It is useless for this. I returned mine immediately. I suggest you do the same. My wife has a FitBit and I have a Vivio and both work well.

Hi,The scale does not have the ability to communicate externally-no bluetooth or USB-great idea though!

I don't have a bluetooth. It syncs with your computer. There is a little USB "dongle" that plugs into your computer and when you are near it with your Fitbit, it syncs your current information. Be sure to log off the internet before you go near the computer again, to get an accurate sync in on the computer. It's really a nifty and motivating tool. I've lost 10# of the 19 I want to shed--all since December 3rd.

It does work without a connecting device. Every day you can see your steps, calories burned, etc. But I don't think you can track it more than one day only on the device as it resets every midnight. I was just looking into the apps and you might need a mac for the app. I suggest you contact Striiv cares (just google them) and talk to them. I am unsure of all the logistics but I do know that they are very responsive to questions. Good luck.

It's supposed to be easy to set up. Mine wasn't. Would not connect to my home wifi. This system requires a home wifi network. It sends your info through wifi to Fitbit. Then you connect to Fitbit with your app.

not included, but you can go to app store and download free "Tanita WiFi Lite" and you sync to the included WiFi Adapter. I use free software from Tanita's website "Healthy Edge Lite for Windows". It is a great database and has some pretty good charting tools. The full HE+ software is $350. I can also sync the scale to my Garmin Edge 810, and send cycling workouts including current weight to Garmin Connect another database program. The scale works flawlessly.

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

We returned it because it didnt link to Weight watchers or our other fitbit devices (scales).

YES!! Just follow this website to FitBit and the instructions will be there: http://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/Can-my-Withings-scale-link-to-my-Fitbit-account . Hope that helps.

Yes, it does sync now. I was skeptical before buying one, because I couldn't find anyone that said it would sync. However, my vivofit came in 2 days ago and it did in fact sync. From the Garmin Connect app, your can add food (which opens your linked MFP app). It also automatically syncs you HRM activity from Garmin Connect to MFP. Appears seamless both ways once you link accounts

Yes! Definitely. Syncing with a smart phone is optional. The scale on it's own works exactly like a traditional scale would.
