Will this count activity other than walking, such as Eliptical machine use?

It will count it as steps. You don't get "extra credit" for it being a different form of movement.

I really do not know. It will probably count your steps, but not distance because you are stationery.

It does an estimated calorie count based on the amount of steps you take. It won't factor in any other activity.

This unit does not count steps in the car or on a bike. I just keep it in my pocket and only when I walk, jog or run does it register steps. Works very well.Bruce

Yes. You get a day's total of steps. It also records what it terms "ex time" which I guess they mean is the amount of time you exercise.

No, it's a GPS watch, not a pedometer. You could theoretically leave it running all day, and it'll tell you how many miles you've walked. But it's not just a step-counter; it tracks distance covered and time/pace.

I just tried it on my elliptical. To my surprise, it worked! I counted 27 revolutions with my right foot, and the Fitbit counted 54 steps, which I guess would be correct.

Well, it definitely tracks any type of ambulatory movement. My wife does not do yoga, but she does swim and it does not track that. She inputs that online.

i think it is referring to steps that are counted without actually taking steps, movement can create this, it also didn't count steps that i took, I don't like this product and don't even use it anymore. Hope I helped you.:)

Yes, It will track active movement, like fast walking or jogging, from just slow walking. Slow walking does not register as active movement but will still track steps. You can set what your own active movement goal! FYI: Don't listen to the other post about arm movement. That is incorrect. It does not register your arm movement as steps, and if you keep your arms still it WILL still track steps. I've had mine since last Christmas, love it.

On..I do not believe so.This is closer to a basic, plain vanilla pedometer ...but it does just that....counts steps and distance very well.I just wasted $150 on the Fuel bracelet that did an extremely poor job of counting steps.I could upload to my iPhone...computer, etc.....but it just never counted steps accurately. In fact, if I didn't move my arms, it almost never counted steps!

It can be used for walking, but it does not count steps. If you want to count steps all day long, this is not the right product. This is a gps watch, so it will track all the details of your route (battery is about 4 hours when the gps is on).

I have not used this pedometer on a treadmill, but I do not see why the pedometer would not work on a treadmill. The pedometer does count steps while walking in place, as I have used it that way on occasion.

I'm afraid it doesn't. It is an exercises device, not a going out info. It records your traject, speed, heights and other data like that. Good luck

It does count the number of steps, however the screen messed up on mine within a week so I could not read the numbers.

It can be used for walking and there is even a run/walk interval setting. It does not count steps but it tracks distance, including elevation.

Yes, if you mean real physical steps and you keep going and not take over four seconds per step. However, if your using a stair climber and your not constant stride even a second between steps then no it won't count.
