Amazon.com Product Description
Accusplit's AE170XLG pedometer offers everything you need to measure your progress and set your fitness goals. The pedometer is distinguished by such features as a goal-setting mode that helps track your steps, distance, and calories burned, along with an auto-activity timer that tells you how much time you consumed over the course of your steps. As a result, it's easy to enjoy a complete workout whether you're going for a jog or performing a 10,000-step walking program. Plus, the pedometer is extra durable thanks to its sturdy polycarbonate case, which comes with a steel spring clip that attaches securely to your shirt sleeve, belt, or bag. Also bundled with a leash kit and pedometer usage guide, the AE170XLG--which offers access to Accusplit's web-based activity wellness program--carries a five-year limited warranty.

About Accusplit
Since its founding in 1972, Accusplit has produced a host of professional-quality stopwatches, heart rate monitors, timers, and clocks. Accusplit was the first digital stopwatch manufacturer, helping the company earn a reputation for making accurate, quality products. W. Ron Sutton, the company's president, invented the memory stopwatch, and the company has since made numerous advances in the design and production of timing devices.

Today, Accusplit manufactures a wide range of pedometers, stopwatches, and timers. The president of the company is known as "Mr. Pedometer" and holds a patent for pedometer accuracy. He is perhaps the foremost expert on pedometry in the Western hemisphere, and is continuing Accusplit's tradition of technological innovation by releasing new pedometer models each year.

4 out of 5 stars Great little machine, insanely difficult to program   August 16, 2010

I love this pedometer. It's my second, and has always performed beautifully. However, programming it was a nightmare. I tried but was completely unable to figure the directions out. What they said would happen didn't, which was very confusing. Finally after going to three different electronics shops I got somebody from Radio Shack to do it, and it took him half an hour of muttering and complaining. If not for that problem I'd certainly give it five stars.


5 out of 5 stars How do I feel about my pedometer?   June 9, 2010

The Accusplit AE170XLG pedometer is very accurate. This is the third Accusplit pedometer that I have bought and I find it to be the best brand. It is more reliable than others I have bought and if you buy the leash to go with it, it won't break when it falls off. Also the clip is metal and strong so it stays on your pants or belt better than most. The only time it is not accurate is if I wear a sweatshirt or something over top of it. This interfers with it. I think that would happen with any pedometer. It's the best as far as I am concerned.


4 out of 5 stars Great multi-purpose fitness tool   April 28, 2010

I've owned a few cheaper brands from WalMart that seemed to malfunction after several months. So I did some research and decided upon the AE170LX, which I purchased in September 2009, because it is multipurpose, and seemed pretty sturdy.

After carefully reading the instructions, I measured my stride, which took about 20 minutes to get right. For about a week after, I tested and re-tested by counting steps and checking the device to ensure it was accurate, and for the most part, it was right on. The problem is, if you measure for a leisurely walk, then go out and power walk with larger steps, it's not accurate, but changing your stride length is easy.

I love the steps, distance and calories burned function, which is really helpful in reaching a goal, or walking off the Butterfinger I just ate. And the built-in metal clip really stays onto your pants/shorts quite well. But alas, it doesn't hold up in the washer, so I'm making purchase #2. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it's a bit time consuming to calibrate, and I don't think a lot of people have the patience to get it just right. Once it's right, though, it's smooth sailing.



1 out of 5 stars Does not keep step reliably   April 23, 2010

I purchased this for my wife and she was unable to reliably get her steps from the pedometer. we tried all different positions but couldn't make it work.
It has been abandoned.
