Accurate but flawed Jan 15, 2007
By Kay A. Douglas
"Avid reader and traveler"
My sole issue with this pedometer is that the clip doesn't function well. The pedometer is constantly falling off my garments' waistband, regardless of the thickness of material. It's simply poorly designed. Last night the pedometer fell off while I was sitting in a movie theater -- I had to go back when I noticed it was gone (luckily, before we left the theater) and search for it. When I got home, I improvised a secondary clipping system, using a metal clip and safety pin, but this is cumbersome.
I haven't had problems with the pedometer resetting itself, even with the exposed faceplate. It takes a prolonged pressure to cause it to reset. However, for some reason each day as I reset the pedometer, it shifts modes from "miles" to "kilometers." I have to remember to reset it *twice* to keep it in mile mode.
Having said this, I've found this to be one of the most accurate pedometers I've ever owned. (I've had four or five.) If Sportline would address the problems with the clip, this would be a stellar pedometer.

Very good buy! Jun 23, 2006
By Petitebug This one is simple but well worth the money. Shows only steps travelled and converts that to miles/km as per your preference. There isnt too much to learn to operate this pedometer and it is very low maintenance. The belt clip is sturdy and the readings are pretty reliable.

accurate, simple! Jun 28, 2006
By S. Mcgreger NOt much to this little gizmo - but it is accurate, it is easy to use, and I loved it! i did have problems with keeping it attached to my pants because the clip seems too small. but i took a baby safetypin and was able to clip it through the hole in the beltclip - something I couldn't say with other peds that i have owned. all in all, a very good deal!

thought it would be better than it is... Jan 09, 2007
By V. F. Brinegar I am on something like my 5th pedometer and until recently, I didn't want to invest a lot in one. I bought this because I thought it looked cool and was a great price. It fell off constantly! For a few days I would pin it to my pants but that was time comsuming and annoying, not to mention painful when the pin stuck me! It is fairly accurate, but who cares if you are always worried about it popping off and falling to the floor? I finally invested in an Omron that not only stays on, but has a security latch you can attach to your clothing in case it does come off it will not fall to the ground. I also bought it on Amazon, but it was around $18.99. It stores a week's worth of steps for you so you can track your progress. I am in love with my new pedometer, I wish I would have invested in this one first!

Reviews were good until I bought it. Jan 29, 2007
By B. Burke I bought this pedometer when the ratings for it were 5 stars! Now there are all kinds of bad reviews starting in 2007. Too bad I bought it in December. This is a piece of junk. I thought I was ordering a mid-priced pedometer. (It was $12 at that time). I agree about it not staying on, and even though I followed the calibration instructions, the steps were never accurate. I had an additional problem in that parts of the numbers were missing on the LCD most of the time. So is a backwards three actually an eight, was that a one or a seven, is that 5000 or 6000? I never knew. The only time all the lines displayed making perfect numbers was when you cleared it to 0000. I'll probably try a 'cheapy' from Walmart. It will probably do better than this.
