I like to use steps registered on Zip (more accurate overall), especially when exerting outside (sweaty).  I wear my Versa and use those steps when being casual, going about my day.  It is confusing to me and have not figured out yet the manner in which to make one device the "live one". My Fitness Pal app always seems to pull in steps from Versa, but many times I would rather use the Zip step counts.

The link between My Fitness pal and Fitbit is with the Fitbit servers, not the individual trackers. The info on the server should come from whatever tracker sync'd last. The best advice I can suggest is to sync the Versao before you are going to take it off and then shut it down (Not Factory reset!) in the setting. Now use the Zip and be sure to sync it before you go back to the Versa.
