I have a Zip and am not sure if I should wear it while running.  I use Pacer on my iPhone and it syncs with the FitBit app to log my activity but I am not sure if it is duplicating my steps.  I would love feedback if anyone knows!

You should use one or the other not both at the same time

I just looked up pacer and I cant tell if it has GPS or not.

 

But you should look into your account to see if its doubling the steps or not

I ran today without the zip on.  The app captured my calories and the minutes of activity but the steps did not register!  So I lost 13,000 steps in my step log.  Weird, so I guess you do need to use both at the same time.  But that might throw off the calories for the day...ugh
