Walk a Mile in My Shoes... Make that Two! June 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is one fantastic pedometer! First and foremost, the ability to store up to seven days worth activity on the pedometer itself and additionally to be able to download and save all of your activity onto your computer make this pedometer extremely useful and practical. The included software is surprisingly robust and allows you to set all kinds of preferences, alarms, and activity goals; and also offers analysis of your activity versus goals, including graphs. You can use the accompanying base to upload your information or any USB A-B cable. This is great because I can leave my base at home, and use a regular USB cable at work and/or on my laptop without bringing a bulky base.
The pedometer is very compact - about as big as two quarters, but the display is very easy to read with large numbers and letters. It has a variety of modes that you can cycle through, and you can set preferences, goals, timers, alarms, etc. either on the pedometer itself or on the computer with the included software.
I find the pedometer to be nearly perfectly accurate, with no more than one step +/- off for every 100 steps or so - that's incredible! The pedometer is supposed to be able to differentiate between running steps and walking steps, and it does, but it doesn't seem to count my steps when I go jogging as running - only when I run at a faster pace. Since I prefer to jog to keep my impact low, this is the one drawback I've found with the device. Don't get me wrong, it still counts the steps, but when it uploads to the software, it counts my jogging steps as walking ones.
The pedometer is light, but also seems solidly built. The buttons are small, but easy to get used to, and the display is in a position that you can always see it without having to take it off of you first.
Overall, I am really pleased with the quality of the pedometer and the ability to use the goals and software makes it fun and encouraging to get out and stay active. It's really great to see you have met your goals for the day and are on your way to getting healthier. If I had to pick one word to describe this pedometer, I would say it would be "indispensable".
