This pedometer is fine for using if you are on a scheduled walk, but it will not keep accurate track of your daily "normal" walking. IE: I spent 2 hours yesterday outside running a snow blower and hand shoveling this blasted snow and my Iphone pedometer app (which was in it’s holster on right side of belt) showed I had walked over 4,000 steps. This Omron (which was in it’s belt clip on my left side) showed only 1800 steps. So, both devices were on the same plane and would be "reading" the same body motion. I don’t know about you, but I want credit for all the steps I take – especially when doing "work" like shoveling 8" of snow. I contacted Omron and they tell me that their pedometers don’t even begin to count steps until you have walked a constant stride for 4 seconds. Apparently walking while removing snow isn’t considered a "constant stride". I guarantee you, I burnt up a much higher amount of calories shoveling than just by making a constant stride walk about. I am much more trusting of the readings my Iphone App gives me then this Omron. But, I don’t always carry my cell phone with me, so, I will be looking for another pedometer/accelerometer.

I love it…. Its all I needed…. keeps track and its also web.

This was a replacement for one that I lost.
It serve my needs very well.
