The pedometer arrive held prisoner in a difficult-to-open plastic cell — what are these “packaging engineers” thinking? It took me ten minutes and two ruined fingernails to open it, and then I took the scissors to it, and the hard packaging almost broke them!
But I was thrilled. A handsome object, thought I, and I loved the clip in the back that you pinch to open. So much better than having to wrestle it down over a soft waistband. I yanked out the plastic battery protector and set to work to rev the thing up to speed. But, alas, it would not follow instructions as they were written. “Press and hold the Set button. Hour display blinking.” (Could they not have said, “The hour display will blink”? I pressed. “Press Memory button to adjust the hour.” I did. The Memory button never did a thing. So I asked a friend of mine to try and he had no luck either. We both tried several combinations of maneuvers, but nothing worked. To this moment, the hour display is blinking, blinking, blinking.
I’d like to get my money back, but ya know what? J & R Music & Computer World in NY demand such a rigamarole to send it back, including with all the original packaging (I threw the OP in the trash), that you almost have to be a genius in packaging to follow their instructions, which, of course, are not designed to benefit the consumer but to benefit only themselves. Now I’m afraid this pedometer will follow its packaging into the trash, while I will make sure I never order from J&R again.

I have used pedometers before and they just show the number of steps. I did not want or need a course in how to program a complicated system for computing many things in order to use the pedometer. It matters not how long my strides are or how much I weigh. All I want to know is how many steps I ordinarily do and then increase them to increase my lung capacity leg and back strength. It builds self esteem and self confidence.
I will continue to use my old pedometer and try to program my new one, but the ones I bought for my husband and daughter to encourage them to more physical fitness will lie in a drawer with the instructions because it took too much time and effort to analyze.
Please quit trying to make things more digital and complicated when it is only a $12 item and wanted for one thing.
Thank you

This is a great pedometer. It is small enough to be discret, but has nice size numbers that are easily read. I like the fact that it closes so the numbers and buttons are not exposed. It attaches easily to a belt and is accurate.

This pedometer is for real couch potatos! It is overly sensitive, even with the sensitivity adjustment turned down, so that it over-counts steps. This is most notable when worn around the house where it just doesn’t keep an accurate count at all. It does work fine for walking for esercise, when you have a steady measured pace, but this isn’t the time most people really want or need a pedometer…..

I’ve had mine a couple of months and it still works. I bought it overprices from CVS thought (16). But I’ve moved on to try to find the perfect talking ped with melodies. Having trouble being cheated by people like UCFHolly on ebay. Beware! Followup, I’ve bought 4-5 peds in 2 years and they all have broken. Even a simpe one like this to a digital heart rate one with music. All dead and batterys are changed way too much.
