I have an iPhone 4 is there a fit bit tracker that will work with my iPhone

AnswerSo far, it seems very unlikely that the iPhone 4 will ever work with it directly. The Bluetooth Protocol version which the fitbit device uses (4.0) is newer and more advanced than that of the iphone 4 (2.1, if I'm not mistaken). Without updated communications protocols (which I'm fairly certain are limited by the hardware of the iPhone 4), these two devices cannot communicate directly. I would imagine that you could use the app to input some information, though I do not own one and cannot comment specifically on that.

How does this compare to the NIKE+ Fuel band
- Asked by Sandra S from Saskatoon
- Dec 9, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerI returned my Nike+ Fuel Band to get one of these. Reasons: Didn't like the feel of the Fuel Band on my wrist (but then I should have known that, because I don't like to wear a watch either). The software seems much more capable and useful. I don't have to CHARGE it, because bluetooth 4 is easy on the non-rechargable battery. I disliked the proprietary Nike fuel points. What's wrong with good old calories? I can wear it without advertising the fact to others.
The only plus I can think of for the fuel band, is maybe some people would find the LED progress indicator motivating. Not for me.

AnswerOne of the screens you rotate through by tapping the device is a simple digital clock. However, there is no alarm feature on the Zip.
