Does the Pokewalker function as a standalone pedometer? I don't have a Nintendo DS nor the Pokemon games but I'd still like to use this pedometer! :)

Yes . . . my son assures me that you can use the Pokewalker all by itself without Nintendo or Pokémon games as a pedometer.

Hello,I am sorry to say but you need a ds lite,dsi,or 3ds for the pokewalker also (very important)you have to have the game pokemon soulsilver,or pokemon heartgold version :(.Yes I know it is really dumb.Sorry.But if you decide to get a ds and pokemon game to save money go to Nintendo.com and type in the search box pokewalker. :) by the way it is a pedometer.

I'm not sure. You may only have to connect to the game once to use it as a pedometer though. I haven't tried just using one of my empty ones as a plain pedometer though.

If your arm is not moving, the pedometer will not count steps when walking. If you are typing it is counting as steps. It will count steps but it also reset itself, so therefore your calculation is not accurate.

Not as accurate as a gps type pedometer would be, because I imagine hiking involves strides that are not of a consistent length (like when you're climbing over logs.) So it might not be super accurate for distance. I have worn it hiking, and it does provide some useful info. If you are mostly on easy trails, not too much climbing and scrambling, I think it would be fine. Oh and I wear mine daily and it shows no signs of breaking. I lost my first one, but I had it for over a year. Second one for many months now. Still love it.

Sorry for the long delay! Yes, it does count steps while walking in place. As I have had more time to play with it know this as well: It's a little more complicated than I need it to be but maybe some people like that. The instructions are fairly useless so be forewarned. Good luck!

When you wear it on your shoe, it recognizes the circular movement, I guess. If you cycle/walk/run for over 10 minutes in a row it counts this as a workout, if not it just counts steps.

Sorry, I cannot tell. Walking is not a listed activity in the menu. But I am a slow runner, 10 minute mile and it tracks it find and I would go even slower. But I never tried to only walk.

It doesn't track food...you have to do that manually on sparkpeople.com. This thing only counts steps, basically. It's for sale on sparkpeople.com for $29.99 now. I think a new model is coming out. I returned mine for refund as it wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

It should sync with your phone no problem. Nike+ shoes have a built in pocket. Other shoed will work, but you will probably need a shoe wallet of some sort. It will track walking, but not like a pedometer.

Don't buy it, it only tracks forward movement if it is attached 6 a shoe, parallel to the ground. I bought it, I sent it right back. Look into Fit Bit, Google the best tracker for what you want to do. Research, pays off.

Depends on how you set the pedometer up. The one's we set up are for steps only. If you set it up for aerobic it will probably do both. Great pedometer. I ordered at least 50 for our senior group, who are in a little step/walking competition.

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).

It tracks how many steps you have taken, how many miles you have walked, and calories burned in one day. It can also track your sleep patterns. You receive a weekly activity report via email. I just love it and it encourages me to walk more because I hate to get my average for the week down.

Hi Pam! No, this particular model doesn't tell you the time that you walked/ran. It gives you an all day total of steps, and how many miles those steps equals.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers

Hello. It does track your steps but it will not track your sleep patterns at this time. I hope this answers your question.Kind Regards,~Team PAPAGO!

Once it's set up it automatically logs everything to your iFit account. However, having said that, it's just a pedometer for me. None of the inputs or displays work like they advertise. The SD card may work better - I don't know. Customer service is pretty good about responding after two inquiries but then just fade away after that. Read every possible thing you can find on every message board/forum you can find before you purchase it. Give yourself a fighting chance! They promise updates but we haven't seen any yet to correct any of this. Good luck if you purchase it! Sincerely!

Not on this peddler. I wear my FitBit while I peddle and it tracks the movement as steps, which is a great way to get in my steps during the day.
