 Accurate and well made - it's worth the money! February 8, 2008

I've wasted money on cheap pedometers before, but I can tell you now that this little beauty is worth every penny. It's robust, easy to set up and (this is the important bit) accurate - which has been quite disturbing in my case, as I hadn't quite realised just how inactive I can be. As such, it has also been an invaluable tool for encouraging me to get out there and exercise, even if it's just a stroll round the local park. It's seven day memory is handy for keeping track of the week's progress, and the aerobic step count is great for showing you how much consistent exercise you've had. I've already been glad of the additional safety cord (when the main clip on device got jiggled out of place during a vigorous bike ride) which gives me extra confidence that the thing isn't going to go astray if I exercise hard while wearing it. It is easy to read too, with a clear unfussy display. If you want a good, well made accurate pedometer I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend this one.

this item is not accurate at all. I walked about 15 steps in my house and this pedometer recorded 250 steps. Very disappointed with it - considering the other reviews. Would not recommend this at all.
Fantastic! Best buy in a while January 30, 2008

I purchased this pedometer as I wanted to keep an eye on my fitness level myself. This truly is the best purchase I've made in terms of sports equipment. I keep it on as much as I can (it's a bit difficult at work) and I can keep an eye on my progress throughout the day. My goal is 10,000 steps a day right now so because I know I'm trying to reach this I got out of my way (taking the long walk to the station, walking the escalators) to get my steps up and do my 10,000 a day. And the result...I'm not a big girl anyway but I wanted to lose 20 pounds and since I started 3 weeks ago I've already lost 4 pounds. Granted I'm eating three healthy meals a day and having 2 healthy snacks but seriously after trying so many exercise programs and diets this really is the easiest, funnest way! If I decide to do an aerobics session or play tennis, whatever all the steps just add up counting towards my target. It even has an aerobic step counter, calories and can hold up to 7 days worth of information which means I can keep a track on my progress - great! The only thing I would say is I can't really hide it under my clothes when I'm at work so I have to guess how many steps I'm taking in that time but the good thing is when you're out and about you can put it in your bag or clip it to your belt - it doesn't have to be physically attached to you to count your steps and it is VERY accurate.
 Great for accuracy but ... January 23, 2008

I found this pedometer very accurate and easy to use. However, if you prefer to measure your walking in miles beware - this does kilometers only, which I found very annoying. If this had been indicated in the product description in the first place then I would have chosen another model. You also have to work out the size of your step in centimeters. All very irritating given that our distance measurements are still imperial. I took this pedometer with me on a long walk of around 9 miles and found it extremely accurate but it unless you're good at converting your kilometers to miles - I'd try an imperial model. Another fairly annoying feature was the fact that you can't reset the step counter - you have to wait until 00.00 and then it resets itself. All well and good if all you care about is doing over 10,000 steps per day, but if you actually want to measure specific walking distances it would be useful to be able to reset manually.
Brilliant! January 17, 2008

I bought this after reading the reviews left on the site + the fact that it was half price! I have used (and lost) other pedometers before...... This one proved simple to set up and very accurate in its measurements.
A good start to the New Year and my get fitter regime.
