Bought it as a gift
By MomVerified Reviewer from Twin Cities, MN on 5/31/2008
Pros:
Accurate, Compact Design, Easy To Use
Cons:
Heavy, Limited Functions
Best Uses:
All Day Use, Running, Walking, Weight Loss
Describe Yourself:
Rarely Workout
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this as a gift for my mom who wanted a simple pedometer that she could wear all day and easily track her progress. This works great! I helped her set it up and it's very easy to use. The only thing that I would like to see changed is the metal clip is right over the battery compartment which makes it difficult to open and close it. It's a little bigger than some of the other newer pedometers offered and each button has more than one function, so adding just another button or two would help simplify each button's use.

Works great when it works!
By DebVerified Reviewer from Statesville, NC on 3/15/2008
Pros:
Lightweight, Love the talking mode
Cons:
Effort to figure out
Best Uses:
All Day Use, Walking
Describe Yourself:
Rarely Workout
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I would recommend this product even though I had to send it back for an exchange. After you figure it out and set the controls, you just forget about it. I use it to keep me walking because a medical condition slows me down and it makes me feel like I am achieving something. I find myself parking far away from the store door just to add to my steps! I like the voice telling me "2,000 steps" when I'm getting in line at the store and people look around quizically!

Best Uses:
All Day Use, Walking
Bottom Line:

I walk about 4 miles, 3 or 4 days a week, but also try to get in extra walking wherever possible - this great pedometer can count your steps, distance or calories, depending on how you want to measure your progress.

Bang for the buck

Accurate, Compact Design, Easy To Use, Lightweight, Simple Controls

None
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I purchased this item for a friend of mines as a Christmas present. She has 2 kids and doesn't really have that much time to work out. She was enthused about receiving the item, as she had mentioned before during a conversation of ours that she would like to purchase a pedometer. She ranted about how easy it was to initially set up, along the compactness of the item. Overall it's a win in my book and I would recommend this item to anyone that's into fitness and electronics.

Pros:
Compact Design, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Walking
Describe Yourself:
Weekend Warrior
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thank goodness for the talking feature as the labels on the buttons are too small to read when it is at your waist. There is no way to turn the pedometer off when not in use; a waste of the battery. However, it does the job of counting steps, giving calories burned, stating how far you've walked, and the number of minutes gone by.

Talking Pedometer, A Winner!
By FritzVerified Reviewer from Madison, WI on 1/4/2008
Pros:
Accurate, Compact Design, Easy To Use, Heavy Duty Belt Clip, Lightweight, Simple Controls, Understandable Voice
Cons:
Function Button Location
Best Uses:
All Day Use, Running, Step Count, Walking, Weight Loss
Describe Yourself:
Rarely Workout
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have gone through at least six pedometers. I found that inexpensive pedometers tend to give you inflated step counts and are not durable. The belt clip is heavy duty and secures the pedometer to your clothing or belt without the danger of it falling off. This quality pedometer is worth its selling price.

 
Good Pedometer

Pros:

Best Uses:
All Day Use
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

I like this pedometer because it doesn't have too many functions. It's easy to use and read. It can be a little inaccurate when it comes to counting steps.

It's compact and non-obtrusive in size and shape - but the talking part is embarassing in public.

 
disappointed
By lnr from philly on 11/6/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Lightweight, Simple Controls, White
Cons:
Inaccurate, Noisey and visable
Best Uses:
All Day Use, Weight Loss
Describe Yourself:
Walk home 4 miles daily

I recently purchased your Talking Pedometer [...]. I've been very disappointed. It's so sensitive that it tracks the tiniest movements of my leg and it's embarrassing to walk around with its loud click at every movement. There must be a better option. I want something I can wear all day (including at work) and when I'm sitting in meeting and my knee starts bouncing and all of a sudden clicking coincides with each bounce it's hard to ignore. Do you have any ideas? Thanks

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As someone always on the go, I wanted a pedometer to give me some idea of how much I was actually walking or running. I went through several different products, from reputable sporting goods stores, that seemed very cheap in most every way. I decided to try the pedometer from [...] because it had all the great features I was looking for, with a great clip to attatch to clothing. It has outlasted all the others and I find it to be the most accurate, easy to use, and comfortable!
