Review on Fitbit Zip smart bracelet by Micha Mitrut ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

Ordered in the USA. $60+shipping. Received a nice box. Started a profile on the manufacturer's website. It is very convenient to track your daily load (steps, distance, calories) and check how much you have walked in a week, month, etc. You can compete with friends and with yourself. Synchronization can be done with fairly long breaks of several weeks, all the same, the results are stored in memory. The pedometer is tightly held on clothes due to the metal clip and is held quite well by the silicone case. However, the silicone from the clip-on tears first. Then the cover broke. The device, in principle, allows you to carry it in your jeans pocket or somewhere else without a case. I consider buying a new case for 15 bucks + sending it unjustified. But worst of all, the pedometer died a little more than a year later. First, the next battery, which already did not last long, sat down. After installing a new one, the device did not come to life. I thought maybe the battery is defective? Bought another one, same result. As a summary. The device is conceived well, allows you to track physical activity on a daily basis. A good option for those who are trying to keep their shape. And not as obliging as a fitness bracelet of dubious design and does not require you to overpay for a bunch of unnecessary features. However, the wearing format has a constructive miscalculation. No amount of care will help to save the silicone case. At the same time, the device is inaccessible, if it appears in 2022 stores, then at absolutely unacceptable prices. The price of $ 60 would be justified if the pedometer worked for at least a couple of years, and with such a low quality product, it is at least 2 times higher. Well, a device that connects to a computer via bluetooth should be rechargeable, in my opinion, and not on a stunted battery.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable and quite functional. Not a bracelet. Almost does not lie.
Cons
  • Cover quality. The manufacturer chose silicone as the material of the cover, which, in principle, is not designed for daily use. The battery is not the most durable. Outrageous price for such a device. Disposable cheap stuff at a 2-3 times higher price.
