Having problems March 30, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am not very happy with my new pedometer. It falls off all the time, the face plate comes off and I have a very hard time making it stay back on. The spring has now broke from the clip, so the pedometer won't even clip to my pants anymore. I have to carry it in my pocket and it is too big for that. I am disappointed with this purchase!
The pro's and con of this particular pedometer March 14, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I feel that this pedometer works well enough for any amateur walkers use. The step counting is acurate enough and when it is off it is usually not off by that much. The main problem I have with this product is that it tends to fall off quite easily. After a number of falls this product will most likely be rendered unusable. The falling may also have something to do with the different gaits of different people. I give it a 4-5.
Reviews were good until I bought it. January 29, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this pedometer when the ratings for it were 5 stars! Now there are all kinds of bad reviews starting in 2007. Too bad I bought it in December. This is a piece of junk. I thought I was ordering a mid-priced pedometer. (It was $12 at that time). I agree about it not staying on, and even though I followed the calibration instructions, the steps were never accurate. I had an additional problem in that parts of the numbers were missing on the LCD most of the time. So is a backwards three actually an eight, was that a one or a seven, is that 5000 or 6000? I never knew. The only time all the lines displayed making perfect numbers was when you cleared it to 0000. I'll probably try a 'cheapy' from Walmart. It will probably do better than this.
Doesn't stay on, not accurate January 19, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This pedometer is easy to use and pretty decent looking. Those are the only good things I can say about it. It simply does not stay on. I, too, have had to use a safety pin to make sure I don't lose it. Maybe I have a defective device, but this is anything but accurate. I consistently walk a measured 5 mile route every day. One day the steps will be 5800, the next day 12800, the next day 10300. Which is accurate? Are any of them? I can't rely on it. When testing the device for accuracy in walking 50 steps, it never got it right. Most of the time it was over the 50 steps, 2 times it was way under the 50 steps. I would not recommend this one.
Lasted less than a month January 17, 2007 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a piece of junk. Spring broke, constantly resets itself and after less than a month it completely gave out. Don't waste your money!
