Will the Zip track steps if I have it in my purse? Or does it have to be on my body?

Thanks for stopping by @Grandma102016! Factors such as tracker placement, dominant or non-dominant wrist, and stride length can all affect the number of steps recorded. You may see a slight difference in step count if wearing a clip-based tracker on your torso. Zip is most accurate when worn on or very close to the body. Ideal places to wear your Zip include a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband.

 

Try out a few different locations to see what is most comfortable and secure for you. A clip designed to keep your tracker clipped to your clothing is provided with your Zip package.

The Zip is not designed to be worn in direct contact with the skin. Always use the silicone holder when clipping it to a bra or waistband, with the display facing outward. Do not wear the Zip inside your bra.

 

I hope this helps, keep me posted! Smiley Wink
