Writing this review from the perspective of someone who wants a ped for accurate walking and jogging distance, but is not interested in tracking cumulative 24/7 movements. Most of the newer brands focus on 24/7 and automatic midnight resets, which is not how I exercise; I like to track/record walking/jogging as discrete events. Amazingly, many of the new models don’t have a manual reset–you have to wait for midnight to reset for the next event. What a brain cramp!

So good points first:

1.Ozeri has manual reset (as well as all the auto 24/7 features).

2. After 27 separate walk and 3-mile jog tests, step accuracy in direct, consistent walking and jogging is 99%+ (less than 1% error). For those interested in full 24/7 movements, I would say this ped is sensitive and accurate, but rightfully somewhat dampened so it doesn’t record every little wave of your hand as a step as some others do.
3. Operating buttons are easy to find but not easily accidentally disturbed, so you won’t finish to find you’ve inadvertently ruined your recording.
4. Strong clip. Screen easy to read. Comes with lanyard some might use.
5. As is the case with most peds, recording in walk mode begins automatically when you move. But to record in jog mode you have to proactively press Start–a good thing because it ensures your jog data is isolated and controlled. This also starts the timer. You may have to work at remembering to press Start for jogging if you’re used to auto starts, but I like it that way.

Minor dislikes:

1. Instructions say stride input increments are only in gross 0.5 of a foot, which makes your heart sink until you later find that’s a typo and it really increments in 0.1 foot. First ped I’ve had that inputs stride in feet rather than inches, but no problem.
2. Having % of 24 hour Goal constantly on display in lower left corner is annoying, ’cause I don’t use it.
3. Default starting screen display shows time of day and steps, whereas I’d prefer to have default show steps and miles.

Overall an accurate, sturdy, nice-looking ped.

I love my Ozeri Pedometer! The readouts are clear and visible and can be accessed when the pedometer is clipped to my pants pocket. I’m also working harder and achieving more in my Nordic walking since getting this pedometer. Ozeri’s customer service is also incredible. Any questions I’ve emailed to them have been quickly answered. They also sent me a neoprene armband holder and two spare batteries as a courtesy. An impressive product and a great company. If you’re shopping for a pedometer, check this one out — I’m very happy with it.

I have been looking for a pedometer for a long time and I finally decided to give this one a try. I have been using this product for about a month now and I love it! unlike other pedometers this one has many useful functions. it displays your calories and fat burned, distance, time, speed, walking steps, and jogging steps. it also keeps count of your target and remaining target steps. I wear this little thing almost everyday and i recommend it to anyone!
