Fitbit, the wireless clip-on fitness tracker, introduced two new entrants to its product lineup Monday, the $60 Fitbit Zip and the $100 Fitbit One. Both include a welcome upgrade to Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless syncing with iOS devices (Android support to follow soon) for seamless data monitoring.
The first of the two new Fitbit models, the Zip, gets a more budget-friendly price by ditching the usual rechargeable battery for a replaceable coin-cell that should last four to six months, according to the company. It also only includes an LCD screen and an accelerometer for measuring daily activities. It can track the steps you've taken, calories burned, and distance covered. The Zip is available in five colors: blue, magenta, lime, white, and charcoal.
The Fitbit One — the follow-up to the similarly shaped Fitbit Ultra – is the more expensive and full-featured option, with the addition of an altimeter and accelerometer. In addition to steps, stairs, distance, and calories, it also tracks sleep patterns — both time and quality. For sleep monitoring, users slip the One into the included wristband, rather than clipping it onto their PJs.
Like the Fitbit Ultra, the One uses a flower to indicate current overall activity level. It comes in black and burgundy.
Both devices integrate with the Fitbit mobile app for logging activity data, food intake and weight, and for showing progress towards personal goals through line and bar graphs. Users can also transmit data to a Mac or PC through a Bluetooth dongle.
The Zip will be available from Tuesday. The One will go on sale in mid-October.
