Will this count steps while marching in place?

It activates by the swing of your arm, so if you swing your arms in stride of your march it will, but not if you just bend your elbows and march. Takes a full swing like when you are walking. If I an holding a leash on that hand, or carrying something, it does not count the steps as my arms aren't fully swinging.

I think the answer is yes. I walked in place for over fifteen minutes and my time changes when I checked but it was later.

I believe it starts to count steps as soon as the Omron Alvita recognizes you are taking steps.

Yes it does. I sometimes have knee pain, and it still records my steps. Patricia

it will register if you are on a treadmill the elliptical I am not sure about. as long as your arms are moving while you are walking it will register. I have to wear it on my other hand while I am at work so that it does not register steps while I am turning the wheel.

Mine does count steps.. isn't that what a pedometer does. ? Haha or at least I assumed that was my steps it's counting ! lol.. I basically needed the watch for the heart rate monitor. Really all I can comment on is how accurate and good it is for that! :)

Yes it does. Any steps you take at all it counts. Also, it holds up to seven days worth of counts.

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

Doesn't count the steps if you have it in your pocket, bra or clipped to your belt, but I clip it to my shoe when I get on my stationary bike and it works fine.

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.:)

I do not believe so; it is very basic and easy to use. Just walk and it counts the steps. Hope this information helps you make a decision.

Seems good when running or walking fast. I counted steps casually walking and it skipped now and then

You can manually add the amount of minutes of your activity (walking at a brisk pace eg.), but not the number of steps or miles. You can convert the number of miles you walk into minutes depending on your pace if you have to. I wear mine 24-7 clipped to a pocket, waistband or my bra so I'm never without it except when I swim or bathe.

It does make a bit of a sound as it counts the steps. I wear mine on my waist band and do not really hear the clicking very much at all---but my hearing isn't all that good. As long as it counts my steps accurately that is all I'm interested in.

There is a small weighted device inside. It moves easily back and forth when you are walking. This generates a signal that you are taking steps. If that is not it, it may have a loose screw or something and may have to be replaced.

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.

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

Nope. It counts your steps without a foot pod. In addition, it keeps track of your calories and reminds you to move when you've been idle for too long.
