   This pedometer works so much better than many other brands I have tried. The others just never seemed to count anything close to all my steps, but this one does. And the tether helps prevent what could be severe damage from a crash to floor/sidewalk if the unit happens to work itself free from the waistband/belt.

   This is both the smallest and most accurate of the three pedometers that I have tried. I have posted a photo of the three with links to the other two. I love the fact that the buttons are on the inside so the do not get accidently pushed.

   This pedometer works exactly as expected. It accuratly keeps track of your steps and converts to the distance walked and calories burned. I am very pleased with my purchase.

   I don’t know what the other reviewers were injesting, but this is the worst pedometer I’ve ever used. My wife bought it for me not knowing I already had one. Even so, I thought I’d give it a go. It came with a helpful guide to determine your goals and step length. I filled it out then went to program it. The “helpful” guide had no programing directions! I’m good with gadgets, so I did figure out the simple functions. If you want simple, this is it! Simple as in STUPID. While the calculations called for a step lenght of 2.4, this only goes in quarter increments, not tenths! Still I tried it out and guess what? There’s no way I could accurately measure my steps. The clip was a joke and for this price, should include a strap. Furthermore, the lid was difficult to open. See the pretty graph on the lid? NOT THERE! Rather, I found a non-removable sticker regarding website support information and repairs.

   The only information I needed was how to return this, and it’s going back to Amazon tomorrow. For a far better value, and resolution of the many issues mentioned above, I’ll stick to my previously purchased Sportline 350 Pedometer. BTW, my Sportline is NOT the one here on Amazon. Mine is about 5 years old and I don’t think it’s manufactured any longer. Maybe it can be found elsewhere.

   I used a number of pedometers over the years, and this is the most reliable. The others gave inaccurate readings and/or fell off. This one has a good clip and lasts a long time, plus the battery can be replaced.
