AVTREK 3D Step Counter Clip On with LED Backlight Pocket Pedometer for Walking Outdoor Activities Fitness Tracker Without Smartphone

One of my lifelong desires got fulfilled today, with this pedometer. Instructions are crisp and clear. The pedometer can be clipped on, removed from the clip and connected to a lanyard cable. I followed the instructions and set the time and reset the counter. PROs Simple, sturdy yet lightweight, well functioning pedometer. CONs I tried walking around with it. If I walk quickly it takes about a second to calculate the aggregate steps and then adds it to the count. For example, the counter may jump from 15 to 23 steps, when you are walking quickly as it's too quick for the counter to count step by step. The pedometer has no memory. Thus, the counter has to be reset every morning, to capture that day's steps. I would have liked the pedometer to keep track of my historical steps, so that I can derive some insight over my activity level over a period of time. The quality is good for the price. Hence, giving it 5 stars.

Works great. Perfect for someone trying to track their activity level for the day in a very easy, uncomplicated way. They last a long time. I have purchased several and recommended these to others.

This little guy is the most accurate pedometer I have found. I conducted several tests. Test 1 clipped to belt loop, walked 60 steps and it read 68. Test 2 placed in front pocket, walked 60 steps and it read 63. Test 2 was using the lanyard, walked 60 steps and it read 62. Test 3, placed in front pocket and walked around the house, unloaded the dishwasher, and walked back to my desk (about 100+ steps), it read 98 - not good, but it does not count steps under 10 consecutive, so housework probably won't register right if you stop and pause often between chores. I like that you don't have to measure your pace, it's only stops, not distance, not time, not kcal burned. Clear screen, easy set up, comes with a little screw driver to remove battery cover when needed. Large clip keeps it on your waist band or belt much better than older models. Manual reset, no memory for several days, so if you are tracking you have to record your steps in another app or book then reset the pedometer for the next day/event. It's is all that wanted and no more.

This reasonably priced pedometer seems accurate. Unfortunately I had to drop a star because the clip didn’t hold well enough and regrettably it was lost when it fell off somewhere when I was out. Overall it was a good purchase so I re-ordered it and now wear it with the lanyard because the clip had failed previously. Pedometers are so great for motivating activity to improve health. A new study shows 5-7000 steps give a similar health benefit as 10,000 steps. It also said that even 4000 steps makes a meaningful difference for your health. Recommend this item but use the lanyard.

Does NOT count steps unless you walk MORE THAN 20 FEET and DO NOT STOP Example: Vacuuming my floors. Old Step Counter more than 3000 steps. This step counter 47. When vacuuming you NEVER keep walking more than 20 feet at a time. You Walk a few steps at a time while moving the vacuum. At work walking to and from a file cabinet 12 feet away, all day. Old Step Counter more than 5000 steps. This step counter ZERO This WILL NOT record steps unless you walk AT LEAST 10 Steps WITHOUT STOPPING. IF you stop for more than 3 seconds the 10 count starts over. For more people 10 steps is between 18 feet and 25 feet. This is a lot of LOST steps. This will also NOT record Daily Steps. It keeps a running total. You must clear it every morning and if you want a running total you must write your steps down EVERYDAY. My old step counter kept a 99 day running total AND showed the daily (Midnight to Midnight) steps.

This is super basic but works really well I bought a band/holder and wear it around my ankle. its easy to set and I haven't had to replace the battery yet but that process will be super easy too. The big numbers are nice as well.

Pros: Great size and color Big display Easy to set up and use, can add in your step pitch (cm or in) Shows time, steps, distance (km or mile) Light on display for evening/night Cons: The time is always first on the screen, you must press the top button once to check steps (or twice when the light is on) UPDATE: It seems if you long press the top button you can pick which screen to keep first Time is only 24 hour, not 12 hour Can sometimes slip out of hands easily without the clip case on it It doesn't save and it automatically resets Not really good to record daily steps, unless you look at it right before midnight and make a note somewhere ***** At first setting it up and just sitting, it said 60 steps. I thought it might overcount. Then it seemed while I was using it for normal daily walking around, it might be undercounting. It records only after 10 steps (which is good, but bad for normal walking around home) During a timed amount of walking for exercise it seems okay. You can look at your step count before you start and subtract it from the total when you're finished for an idea of your steps and distance for that time. Despite its flaws, it's a good enough alternative to a cheap fitness watch or phone.

Great little device . No hassle attachment, you forget it’s there. And the back light and large digital numbers make it easy to read.
