Best Buy & Cheap Products

resets a little too easily
I am so frustrated! I usually wear a pedometer all day, every day. I bought this one to replace a different brand in which the screen display stopped working after 2 months. This one was priced just about right, so I bought two for the inevitable loss or breakage that comes with daily use.
This pedometer might be all right for a specific walk, but for daily use, it's useless. It resets itself frequently, so unless you are paying attention, you have no idea what your actual step count is. I cannot recommend this to anyone.

Bad steps
The pedometer is too sensitive to touch. Every time I would put my hand in pocket the meter would reset. Tried several ways to wear it but always the same RESET. I bought two of these. Would not buy anymore of these for anyone.

Totally worthless
I hate when products are poorly designed, and the problems are so obvious! Because the reset button is on the outside of the unit, is is incredibly easy to bump against it and reset the numbers-- thereby deleting any knowledge of all your hard work! Its also difficult to see, as from the user's view, the numbers are upside-down. Pedometers that flip open are much better. Check out this much better option: Model SW-200 Yamax® Digiwalker(tm) Pedometer. Very cheap, but mine has lasted me a long time.

Things that don't work
This pedometer not only counted my steps incorrectly, but it counted them when I was sleeping! Imagine my surprise when I woke up and found I had walked about 10 steps in my sleep. It also would reset itself all by itself, usually in the middle of a walk. There is no protective cover for that, there was no way to adjust for your stride. Cheap it as and well worth the cheap. I returned it. PS I also could not add any tags to this review. The program would not allow me to.

A good product gone bad and deceptively.
My former Sportline 330 was an excellent and 100% accurate instrument. This one is a totally different design and is useless. I never found out how accurate it is, because in the new design the reset button is in front of the device so you can't help but to accidentally reset it in the normal course of human motion. On the old one the reset button was inside its cover. This one has no cover. Useless. To add insult to injury, they don't tell you they changed the design, so it's a nasty little surprise when it arrives.
