Accurate & Easy to Use
Having just started a daily walking routine I wanted to keep track of my steps, both to monitor my progress and for "bragging rights" :-). As a graphic designer I was sitting on my butt all day in front of my computer and didn't get up except to use the restroom... not a good thing. So I have made it a point to get up every 90 minutes or so and walk around our building for 5 to 7 minutes at a time.At the beginning I was using my iPhone 5s built-in Health app, and while it didn't do a terrible job counting my steps, I suspected it wasn't as accurate as I'd like. Sure enough, when I carefully counted a thousand steps as I walked, the iPhone would regularly under count by 10 to 15%.I looked a pedometers on Amazon, and selected this unit based on it's excellent reviews and price. It arrived on time and as described. I had no issues with setting it up at all, you just have to read the instructions to understand what sequence of information you'll need to input. It came with a carrying clip, lanyard, instruction pamphlet and a small screwdriver for replacement of the already installed battery.I don't want to have it hanging around my neck on a lanyard, so I clip it around a belt loop and it stays there (flopping around a bit) securely without issues all day. I did try clipping it to the inside of my pants leg pocket, but it came loose and fell of a couple of times, so I'd be concerned about losing it somewhere if I wasn't paying attention. The belt loop clip work great for me.I've now been using the unit for just over a month on a daily basis. To make a fair comparison to the iPhone I did several tests where I would precisely count out a given number of steps (typically 500 to 2,000) and check the results. This unit is very consistent in it's count, and typically counts 1 percent over actual count (10 steps over for every 1000 walked) which is VERY accurate. During these measured walks the iPhone was in my pants pocket on the same side as the belt loop as the pedometer, and again the phone (inconsistently) undercounted my steps between 10 to 15 percent.Bottom line, an excellent and accurate pedometer at a great price. Would highly recommend this product.Note that I purchased this unit for my own use and was given no incentive or freebies to write this review, nor do I have any affiliation with the manufacturer or seller.Ver másVer menos
