Sync your stats. See your progress.
Fitbit automatically syncs your data to your computer, many iOS (ipod) devices and select android smartphones without plugging in or pushing buttons. This gives you real time access to your stats on the Fitbit dashboard throughout the day. Also with select NFC-enabled Android devices, you can tap your device to launch your Fitbit stats.
