4 out of 5 stars Small, functional pedometer, but beware of the occasional dud.   April 25, 2010

I've used many, many pedometers over the years. I've tried pedometers whose prices have ranged from $2.50 to $50. Of all of these, the Sportline 340 Strider pedometer is the one I've liked the best. I like this particular pedometer because it's cheap and small doesn't make (too much of) a bulge under my shirt. Over the last five years I've probably purchased about five of these pedometers. It's not the fanciest pedometer, and there are some quality control issues, but generally it has worked well for me. Given the price, I think it's a good product. Just make sure to test your pedometer when you get it to make sure that it's not a dud.

Pros:
1) Small and discrete.
2) Very cheap.
3) Generally accurate if worn level on hip.

Cons (Major):
1) Sometimes the pedometer falls off when you pull your pants down or knock against it. After enough falls on a hard floor eventually the clip breaks off or the display stops working.
2) Occasionally a pedometer simply doesn't function properly. I've gotten probably five of these pedometers over the years, and one was clearly not counting steps accurately. The rest all worked fine when I got them, and continued to count steps accurately until I dropped them too many times and broke them, or lost them. I've never managed to keep one long enough for the battery to die.

Cons (Minor):
1) If you have a very thick belt, the clip may be too small.
2) The pedometer must be worn level, so it can't be placed in a pocket or purse, for example.
3) The pedometer doesn't reset to zero each day. Sometimes I forget to reset the step count and then I don't know how many steps I got the previous day.
4) No choice of color. You get whatever the manufacturer sends you. It may be black or bright red or blue.
5) It's not easy to see your step count without taking off the pedometer.
6) It doesn't have any sophisticated methods to discount false steps from hip movements due to standing up, jiggling, etc.



5 out of 5 stars It's cheap - and it works.   April 21, 2010

Ok seriously -- There are pedometers out there that cost a LOT of $$. This one doesn't. I bought it for $7.99. And I love it.

1. It's pretty accurate. Of course, no one walks exactly the same way EVERY single step, but for the most part, it counts my steps. If you want something 100% dead-on-balls accurate, then I suggest hiring someone to walk with you and count every step that you take. This is a little machine that uses motion to count steps.. get it?

2. With the push of a button, I can go back and forth viewing how many steps I've taken, or the distance I've gone. You can input the length of your stride to get a more accurate reading of the actual distance you have traveled. (for those of you that said it's too complicated - read the instructions. I figured it out in just a few minutes. It's not that hard guys. The thing only has 3 buttons on it).

3. It's small, very light, and it stays clipped to my pants. No, it's not a full belt clip, but it's a spring loaded little clip and it stays on. I make sure that I walk about 5 miles everyday.. and it never falls off. I forget that it's there.

Bottom line - It's not super fancy. It's a little black thing with 3 buttons that counts steps. Good enough for me.

For fun, bought 8 of these, and gave one to each of my co-workers. We all do the same work which involves a LOT of walking. Once the "stride" was set we've found this pedometer to be quite accurate. A "short" stepper had as many miles, but many more steps.
If someone needs one of these to gauge their exercise level, and is upset over quality or accuracy, they really need to get a life.

I'm not really fond of this piece of equipment. Can't say a whole lot about it as it's always falling coming unclipped. I think it may be a little off on steps as I take about 4 steps and it only measures 3 SO not sure about the accuracy really but hey what do you expect for $15 right? I would recomment for people who don't walk fast and for people that walk on a flat level surface otherwise get something better if you can afford it!

These cheap pedometers are all over the retail stores - target, drugstores, etc. and have become very cheap, so I can't blame anyone for trying them. We tried 3 different ones over a couple of years and they just didn't last. Usually the clips would break, or they would be hard to open while wearing. The batteries didn't last and the units didn't seem accurate. Then we discovered Timex pedometers and have switched to those in our family. They are far better! Avoid the Sportline brand of pedometers. They are junk!!
