This pedometer is WAY too sensitive. I’ve used several others, and I have a general idea of how many steps I’m taking during different activities. I tried this one because most others are too bulky and uncomfortable. However, it records almost twice as many steps as I’m actually taking. It records steps even as you pick it up to put in your pocket. I’m returing it.

I bought this pedometer at Dicks. Later while I was in the area of my favorite athletics store and stopped by just to see what they recommended. I ended up purchasing a Timex. I thought I might as well wear them both to see which one I preferred. I really liked the slim line of the Sportline.
What I found was that after walking on the treadmill the Sportline had almost double the steps. I tried again, this time counting my steps. It was way off. It even counts steps while I’m driving in the car, leaning over, or just sitting. It’s virually impossible to reset it to 0, put it in your pocket, then take it right back out and have it still read 0.
I want something I can wear all day and get an accurate step count. This isn’t it. Probably would work OK if you just put it on to run and then took it off.
I’m returning it.

It seems to keep counting when you are not moving, like it is counting seconds or something. It is really expensive and is worth zero. I won’t buy any more Sportline stuff. I don’t understand how they can get away with selling stuff that doesn’t work.

This pedometer has got a lot going for it:
-It’s small
-Can easily fit in any pocket
-Has other functions such as clock and activity timer
But that doesn’t matter much as it is wildly inaccurate in most situations. I wore it along with a conventional pedometer (that I’d previously validated in parallel with the industry-standard Yamax) and it was only moderately accurate for medium-speed walking, and totally unacceptable for mixed activity. In most situations it tended to seriously over-count. If they come out with a more accurate version of the same thing, it’ll be a good device. Not Yet!

The pedometer is accurate and I love that you can just slip it in your pocket. There are more features than just counting steps, which includes: a clock, calories burned and miles walked. I use it every day and I love the color blue!
