Yes, I am one of those who still uses a Zip.

Today, after my daily 3.5 mile walk, I noticed the Zip had credited me for 10.5 miles.

Is there any way to subtract that number from my dashboard, or do I just need to keep it in my head when it comes to my weekly total.

Also, I really wish you had not discontinued the Zip.

I don't need all the bells and whistles the newer trackers have. I also have never been one to wear a watch.

Might have been nice to stick with what made the company, especially for those of us who just want something simple.

Hi @rink23  the Zip is a sweet Fitbit. My friend wears one and even has a new in the box Zip ready for the day the current one dies. You know to sync a few times to see if that changes the steps, but here is an article - click to read - on how to remove those unwanted steps.

Since they quit making the Zip a few years back, I have always tried to have a backup.

Unfortunately, my backup is now my primary and the only place you can find a Zip now is seemingly Amazon with a price tag of $160-plus.

If anyone knows of other options than Amazon let me know.

Not going to pay that for an item which I think was $50-60 back in the day.

@rink23  you look at eBay? People do sell them and some have the original packaging. Prices are much more reasonable. If you do buy there, be sure the seller allows for returns just in case it doesn't work.

@rink23   Take a look at Ebay like @Odyssey13 suggested.  I did just to check and see what is out there.  There are several available and they are NOT priced like those on Amazon.  With respect to your extra miles, I wouldn't worry about them at all if I were you.  You are a very long term, dedicated user.  You probably earned the Pole to Pole badge a long time ago.  That's the last distance badge, so why bother about a very small part of your total?

My ZIP just acted up when I changed the battery. Think its the back. Look on EBAY.
