    I've read that the battery can go out quickly. Anyone else have this problem with their Zip? I also want to make sure it will sync effectively so I can do the fun challenges :)

    I replace my battery about twice a year.

    Oh well that's not bad! Have you had any issues with syncing to the app?

    Thanks for the input :). That is true about the battery vs chargeable battery :). I've also heard good things about the Microsoft Bans.
    DoreenaV1975 I hope you enjoy your Zip! I'm more looking to be motivated by getting my steps in and doing challenges on the Fitbit site. I don't think I really need the sleep tracking.

    Thanks! I currently log my steps by an app on my phone and I love seeing that number go up and seeing the estimate of the calories burned! Very motivating!
    Only problem is I don't always have my phone on me...
    If I don't have pockets and don't want to/can't carry it in my hand then, if I think about it, I'll shove it in my bra, LOL! It's big and cumbersome though...
    But a lot of times I just forget it.
    W/ the ZIP I can attach it to my bra in the morning and leave it there until I go to bed (although when I get home I immediately take off my bra :D... so I may need to move it to my waist band). The ZIP will definitely be more convenient and lighter!

    Yes much more convenient then carrying phone around. Did your Zip come in the mail yet?
