Hi! 🙂 Just purchased 2 Zips today, and I am excited to begin using them. I purchased a stainless steel ball chain (like one that would hold military dog tags). I would like to wear the Zip on the chain, but under my shirt while I workout to prevent it from bouncing. 

 

While I could put mine on my bra, my son definitely could not....that's why I was thinking that the necklace could work. I want to ensure the best accuracy, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would guess that a zip on a chain would work best if the Zip didn't bound around too much (such as what might happen if the runner where shirtless). You might also shorten the chain some, so that there was just less freedom for it to bounce around.

 

I think you can find some way to make it work on a chain around your neck. Do you have any results you can report?

Thanks for the tips @SunsetRunner! 😉 Nice to see you here @lynnabart! 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. 

 

During workouts we recommend wearing the Zip as suggested above, since you can expect greater variation in your stats with the movement a loose fitting accessory such as a chain will do. 

 

I hope this helps, keep me posted! 😉

Thank you so much for your replies. I happened to wear it on a necklace between my skin and tank top and it irritated my skin....ouch! But after reading the one reply, I see that is a BIG no no.   So I will now leave it on the chain, but clip it to the outside on my bra. Just so afraid of losing this little thing. Have a great weekend, and thanks again.
