1 Ok with some design problems
Am trying to make due with it since I purchased. It's overpriced by $7 compared with the Spartan Sports Talking Pedometer (almost the same product except different colors for plastic). The stride mechanism also sticks occasionally and I have to shake the device to get it to work.
I agree with previous comments - there are some problems. It's too easy to accidentally press the button on top that turns on the very annoying music, and it's too easy to accidentally press the button on top that turns the alarm on, and it's too easy to accidentally press the big button on the front that will speak the number of steps and distance you've walked.
2 A nice pedometer with some nice features, but some problems
A nice compact little pedometer, which fits very easily into a pocket or clips onto a belt. It speaks distance and steps taken. However, there are some problems. It's too easy to accidentally press the button on top that turns on the very annoying music, and it's too easy to accidentally press the button on top that turns the alarm on, and it's too easy to accidentally press the big button on the front that will speak the number of steps and distance you've walked. Also, the pedometer, including the display, is always on, and that leads to premature battery exhaustion. Oh, yes, good luck replacing the button battery - to do so requires removing 4 small screws, and forcing off a little clip that covers the battery.
3 Very easy to Use -- lots of gadgets
This is a very nice and very durable little machine and it does exactly what you need -- it has all sorts of additional features (it talks, it plays music, it has an alarm) which some people may like. I just shut them all down and only use it to count my daily steps. So far so good!!!
