Outdoor Multi-Function Portable Sport Pedometer Step/Distance/Calories/Counter

A good item. Like that you can clip it on your waistband. Keeps good track of steps, distance and you have a clock. Was a little confused about the stride but you don't need that. Overall a good product. Do wish it would keep track of the time you walk and not just a clock but it works. Price was right.

Although the steps were simple, programming was extremely difficult. I think the the push of the buttons was just not registering. It too about 20 minutes to set up the time: the hour set quickly but the minutes kept reverting to another setting; It took as Long to change Km to miles. I gave up with the rest. Still, I thought I could use this for steps. I compared it's numbers to an activity and time spent that I had previously confirmed. I tried this over 2 days and the steps only register about 40 to 50% of the ones actually taken. I did this with the device on my waistband as advised. I also tried this while simply walking down the block. It worked for perhaps 10 minutes but then did not register all steps.

It’s not versatile. Meaning you have to attach the counter to your pants if you want it to count your step, but I wear a lot of dresses. I had one before that you can clip to your shirt or pants and it still counts your steps. I wore this new one a whole day clip to my shirt and it never counted one step. Then I read the instructions and found out why 🙁. I need one that will be versatile with whatever I'm wearing. Also, the clip was not sturdy.

I will come back in a few weeks with a more formal review, but wanted to note, there are NO setting stride instructions in the little paper insert. Lay out a tape measure to 6=8 feet and lock it. with heel at start of tape walk about 10 Normal steps. divide number of steps by total feet at toe. My step length is 22". then program that in. To count steps correctly it needs to be at your waist straight up and down. Not shirt pocket, not ankle etc. I LOVE how easy it is to read. I won't count shuffling around your desk. At 10 steps it starts, adds those 10 and goes on.

To start, I was looking for a pedometer that did not require a smartphone app, that was not a watch, and didn't break the bank, particularly if it fell off my jeans and I didn't see it to retrieve it.The features of pedometer, calorie counter, distance walked (miles or km), and time clock are all very helpful and seem to do well. I compared it against a fitness wrist watch, (Fitbit of some sort I had borrowed) and it seems to be more accurate than the Fitbit. The Fitbit depends on arm motions to count steps, which means that the Fitbit may not count when your arms are stable pushing a cart/stroller, but the Fitbit may also count in error when you are standing relatively in one position (such as bagging groceries and primarily rotating at the waist, or working at an office table collating papers).I came to rely on the accuracy of my pedometer moreso than the Fitbit watch and the pedometer seemed to count my steps well. I came to appreciate the time clock feature as I normally don't wear a watch at work (I find myself working in a lot of water, sometimes with chemicals/cleaners/dirt). I was also able to earn steps for short walks that the Fitbit didn't always measure, like returning items close by to proper shelves.I did have a couple of issues with the pedometer resetting unexpectedly when I leaned against counters (moving to scan or bag groceries, for instance). I was sad that I lost the steps but I made some adjustments to how I wore it (waistband position) and checked on it more frequently to keep closer track of steps walked (in case it reset) and that seemed to help.About 3 weeks into using it I tried to tilt it up on my waistband to read it, as I had done many times before, and ended up snapping the clip and losing a couple of spring-type pieces that helped it clip (probably - I was in a dark environment at the time and relied on streetlights to find what parts I could). That was disappointing but ultimately my fault / mishap.I thought perhaps I would get an "upgrade" to a pedometer with cover, as I have seen them before. However, all the pedometers with covers I've found so far either didn't have the features of the Pingko (steps taken, calories burned, distance covered, time clock, which I had begun to appreciate); and/or weren't in my budget, and/or didn't have a lot of favorable reviews. So, I ended up buying a second Pingko pedometer, and we'll see how long the second one lasts before it has a permanent mishap.P.S. The Pingko had fallen off my waistband a few times prior, usually onto a hard concrete floor (from a height of about 33 inches) -- and made it just fine (still working). It was simply the way I tilted it that night, I think, that broke the clip.In conclusion - I am impressed with the features, the price point, the seeming accuracy, and -- gosh darn it absolutely -- the fact that I do not need a mobile app or a smartphone to use this. Whoo hoo! So I am buying another for now and then we'll reevaluate when needed.

I really want to like this little pedometer. It's just what I wanted: easy to use and set up with a large digital screen that I can see without having my glasses on. However, now that I've used it for over a month, I can say for certain that it doesn't capture all my steps. I mainly walk, and only if I'm walking fast do I feel that it is accurate. It's the middle of summer in Texas right now, and sometimes I just want to go take a 20 minute walk but REALLY slowly, y'know? Because it's hot as heck right now. If I go out for a slow stroll for 20 minutes, I'll come back and the pedometer will only track like 200 steps when in reality I went somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 mile. I guess the little mechanism inside that clicks whenever you take a step only works with steps that have more impact. I've tried wearing it on different points around my waistband but to no avail. I just can't get it to track me accurately. So, I've stopped bothering to wear it, unfortunately. I really wanted to like it. That said, if you're using it for jogging, I think it would be terrific. It's light and unobtrusive and would likely be very functional for you.
