I have been using this pedometer for 8 days. I found the setup straightforward after reading the instruction manual pages on setup. Setting the clock time to the nearest second seems a bit clunky, because it goes to zero rather than allowing increase or decrease from its current value. But it is okay once you get the hang of it and simply wait to zero it when the master timer you use to set rolls over to zero. The other 11 quantities you set are straight forward since you can use the + and - keys to set exactly. My initial reaction after trying it out for a day was negative. I thought the reviews I read about undercounting and inaccuracy might be true. But after reading the statement on page 1 of the manual about the "10-Step Error Prevention Feature" and experimentally testing it, I concluded the device works as designed. I counted steps 100 or 150 at a time and Realalt was always within a step or two of my count. My previous pedometers, were an Omron HJ-113 (I lost it) and a FitBit Zip (it started eating batteries). The Omron and FitBit Zip both counted more steps than the Realalt, but I now like the idea of not counting when I get up and sit down or take 5 steps. I like the memory function that stores steps for 30 days. There are a lot of functions such as the step target Progress bar and estimates derived from step counts that I have not paid much attention too. I purchased the unit for accurate step counts and the step storage function. The unit seems reasonably rugged which I tested accidentally by dropping a few times while figuring out how to best wear the device. I have hopes that the battery lasts a significant fraction of the claimed 12 months.

Ok after using the pedometer for 2 weeks or so, time for the promised review. No I wasnt given the item for the review but the people at Realalt have been awesome in their personal interest and genuine customer care. First, I've discovered that no pedometer is accurate as I carried this and my old venerable Omron 113 together and attained wild variations in step counts. Sometimes the Omron was higher by alot, a little and visa versa. Pacing off 50 and 20 steps numerous times produced results in both that ranged from accurate to 20 per cent over or under. Soo neither one is truly accurate and I imagine that more pricey pedometers would get similar results Sooo- 3 stars for being an average pedometer. Add one star for the awesome customer support and add another star for the item itself which is solid and beautifully made with large clear readout, battery included, a long lanyard making it nice to wear around the neck, intuitively easy setup and numerous statistics. Speaking of statistics- one star dropped for totally inaccurate calorie count. There needs to be a reprogramming as the reported calories burned are waaay over stated. As an example, the pedometer reported that I burned about 480 calories for a 3 mile walk. The Omron had about 340 and online calorie calculators indicate that 3 miles at a 20 minute pace burns around 325 calories at my weight. Bottom line: Based on all the positive features described above GO AHEAD AND BUY THIS PEDOMETER!! You'll enjoy it just dont overeat after walking because of a false sense of satisfaction from the overstated burned calories.:) Since I believe that all pedometers are comparable in their performance, the price point of $22.50 is a bit high you can do fine with one under 20 but this one is really attractive and fun to use. Take a look at the Realalt website. When I bought it, they had a 5 dollar off coupon code making the 3DSPORT AN EXCELLENT CHOICE at $17.50. If the coupon isnt there - go ahead and contact them and request one. Cant hurt to try They are good people. Tell them Alan sent ya...ha ha yeah right!..:)

Bought this after some research....easy to set up , clear to read. I believe their description of the technology being accurate. If I was taking long walks or runs, this would clearly be great...able to track miles, etc. BUT and this is a significant but for me.--I just want to see how many steps I am taking per day. Recovering from an illness and injury has affected my gait and walking is slow and sometimes painful. I am building back from 1200 steps per day to a goal of 10,000/day. This device has a built in feature called "10 step error prevention feature". You must take 10 uninterrupted steps in order for the pedometer to start tracking steps. Its purpose is to prevent random non-walking movements from being falsely counted as steps. But this means it doesn't count all your steps if you happen to pause during the 10-step start up. I just finished an hour of constant vacuuming and the device gave me 130 steps. (My Apple Watch which I don't consider all that accurate recorded 900). If walking and running were the only steps I wanted to count this would be useful. But I want to track ALL steps. Realizing that some may be random movement but at least getting credit for moving and walking around the house. This is the wrong device for me and the most irritating part is that they don't tell you about this feature until you either watch their set-up video or read into the back of the manual. And there is no way to turn this off. So maybe this is a cool, useful feature for you but in my situation it is very non-motivating,

I got this pedometer for my grandma for Christmas, after she was interested in my Fitbit. I knew she needed something that didn't require a computer, and was easy to read. I chose this pedometer for its simplicity and large display size, as well as the price. If she tried it for a while and didn't like it, it would not be too much money down the drain. I set it up right after she opened it. It was quick, 5-10 minutes, and relatively easy. I tested it out a little by walking around the house and comparing my counted steps to the pedometer, first with the pedometer on my belt, and then with it around my neck. The recorded steps matched the counted steps. The only issue we ran into was that, while the step numbers are large, other important labels are not. There is a line of words at the top that indicate what value is being displayed (steps, calories, miles, etc), and the letters on that are very small. The big MODE button to the right of that screen is the one that toggles these features. At some point she accidentally pressed the mode button and switched the value being displayed. She needed to get a magnifying glass to see what she had switched it to, and to get it back to steps. I know the small letter size would not be a problem for many people, but this particular pedometer seems to be specifically targeted to older users, with its simplicity and large display. It would be nice if that part of the display was also large, or if the letters showed up big across the screen for a second when toggling (like how the fitbit will display the steps sign before showing you the step count). Another solution could be to add a lock option, so that the buttons could not be pressed by accident. Overall, she seems really happy with it, and has adapted to the tricks with the buttons and displays.

I originally was using a fit bit. after hearing about some research on wearables, I decided old school is actually better for my health. This keeps 30 days track of steps, and achieves it's purpose of counting and helping me get enough steps in. I accidentally washed one of these and bought another one I liked it so much.
