U-Trak Portable Walking Pedometer Accurate Step Counter Sport Step Tracker Clip On Pedometer with Exercise Time/Miles&Km/Clock Funktion/7 Days Memory/Calorie Record for Men Women Kids Seniors Black

This took me a bit to setup. The instructions don't spell out the setup very well. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to set the stride length. There isn't a down button function so I had to go up from the preset 30 stride until it reset to 0 and then push the up button (actually the reset button) until I hit 25, which is my stride. It would be helpful for the instructions to mention this quirk.After I had it set right, I clipped the pedometer to a waist high pocket on my shirt. Although my pants and top aren't very thick and the pedometer was clipped at my waist, the step counter didn't work. I had to clip it directly to my pant waist under my shirt and then it worked just fine. I'll try it this afternoon on my beach walk to determine the accuracy.

The instructions supplied with this pedometer are poorly written and confusing. On the plus side, it’s reasonably intuitive if you’ve ever set up any electronic devices before. But to complicate matters, once the unit is placed in setup mode, it defaults back to the run mode if a button is not pressed within a very short span of time. Once I figured out how to program it, I had to put it back into setup mode six times before I could complete the setup. Once that is done, the pedometer functions quite well within the limitations that all pedometers share.This speedometer, like the one that I had as a kid 60 some odd years ago, relies on the movement of a pendulum to count steps. The optimal position on the body for this to occur is directly above the hip bone. Total distance is calculated by multiplying the number of steps times the stride length which you set during the pendulum setup. But stride length continuously varies during the course of the day. Stride length is shorter inside the house than outside and drastically shorter in limited space areas. When you combine this with very short steps that may not move the hip enough for the pendulum to complete a cycle, the results cannot be 100% accurate. But it is good enough to give you a general idea of steps taken and distance covered. The feature of this pedometer to display the last seven day’s totals gives you a good reference for how much you’ve walked one day compared to the last six.This is a nice pedometer which works quite well within a pedometer’s limitations. It’s much nicer than the mechanical pedometer I had as a kid.

The misses wanted a pedometer that she could use while at work. She can't use a watch like I have due to restrictions. Plus watch pedometers tend to be limited in calculating steps based on the moment of the arms. I've done tasks while sitting that registered steps even though I wasn't moving. This was perfect. Clips to her belt or put into a pocket. Simple easy to read and reset when needed.

I like that the clock works and it’s easy to setup - I don’t like that it doesn’t consistently count your steps no matter where it is placed on your body….

Unfortunately, this pedometer did not come with a full set of instructions on how to set up the use of the pedometer. It includes various features in addition to step-counting, but it took a little bit to figure out how to navigate the unit and set it up for proper use. As for accuracy, my smart watch and phone apps seem to count more steps than the pedometer, so I'm not sure exactly how accurate this unit actually is. Overall, I'm kinda disappointed and don't feel it was money well-spent.

I’m getting older and need to move more besides gardening etcThis was smaller then I thought it would be, and glad it is.I can clip this on the top of my jeans , leggings and start to walk.Not as easy to figure out, but it seems to work ok

This does not keep accurate count of your steps. I had it in my pocket while at work. For a 12 hour physically demanding job, it counted less than 900 steps. My lazy day activites at home clock me in at more than 3,000, so I find it really hard to believe. The clock kept an accurate time. I did notice that if you shake this up and down, it wont do anything. If you shake it side to side, it will count. I wpuld check the counter after a half hour of working, and it would read no steps at all, then 5 minutes later, while I was sitting, the step counter would jump 50 steps. Absolutely not accurate.

This isn't really easy to set up. Captures more steps then a fitness band, but you have to walk just right. If you hold it, clip it to a shirt, or drop in a pocket, reads nothing. Has to be on a hip to read the step. Not easy to set up, though once you find all the hidden buttons it's not too bad, just not a fan overall.
