Simple and to the point February 13, 2007

The pedometer works quite well. During a test it counted all the 1200 steps within just a few counts - certainly accurate enough. It gets fooled by walking up stairs, which it ignores completely. Once, on a bumpy flight it added hundreds of counts. The calorie burning feature I do not use, so I cannot judge it. Overall this little pedometer does what it is supposed to do without any frills. Could not ask for better performance.
 Nice but little complicated February 4, 2007

Well, when I first got it I thought I could just run to the gym once the battery was activated. Not so, I had to read and read some more once I found I couldn't just mess with a few buttons. I had to calculate my strides and weight in the machine. I like the durable plastic and I don't think it will break that easy as I dropped it a few times to see. But the case is a little hard to open and you must close it in order for it to work. I think it is nice once you figure out how to operate it. The accuracy is decent. I walked 50 and it recorded 63 steps but there's a sensitivity switch you can play with to adjust the accuracy. I will play with that once I go to the gym. Keep in your purse or glove compartment of the car as it may motivate or aggrivate you. I also like the time feature but you can/t use it if the case must be closed while walking. Overall a little complicated if you just want something to count steps or miles IMO. I did want something a little simpler for life.
 Seens to work OK, but the Omron HJ-112 is MUCH better January 22, 2007

This product has a very "toy like" feel. The case is flimsy, the buttons feel funny, just toy-like. It only works when positioned horizontally on
your belt. Seems to work OK, but don't dare drop it or it'll break. The light plastic case has a heavy metal weight glued inside.
Why not spend $8 more for the superb Omron HJ-112? The HJ-112 has dual pendulums inside so it counts accurately whether on your belt or in your pocket. And it's built like a tank.
 reliable pedometer January 19, 2007

This is a good, reliable pedometer. It records my strides even when I have a heavy sweater over it, although it probably would be a little more accurate with just a t-shirt on. It also keeps the time, which can come in hand since I rarely wear a watch.
Too complicated for the task January 19, 2007

I have used pedometers before and they just show the number of steps. I did not want or need a course in how to program a complicated system for computing many things in order to use the pedometer. It matters not how long my strides are or how much I weigh. All I want to know is how many steps I ordinarily do and then increase them to increase my lung capacity leg and back strength. It builds self esteem and self confidence.
I will continue to use my old pedometer and try to program my new one, but the ones I bought for my husband and daughter to encourage them to more physical fitness will lie in a drawer with the instructions because it took too much time and effort to analyze.
Please quit trying to make things more digital and complicated when it is only a $12 item and wanted for one thing.
Thank you
