I need a pedometer for swimming and walking that I doesn't require downloading data or activating by computer. Is the HJ-303 ready to use as is?

Yes that's one of the reasons I like it. Of course you input your data ( weight, height, step size). You never need to hook it up to a computer. Problem you'd have: its not waterproof.

Yes. This is just a stage out of the box use pedometer. There are no connections to the pc for this device.

This unit is great for walking. Has clip tied on it. But is not for water. Programming is easy and does not require a computer. You can go through log to see all that was done for the day.

Yes, it is ready for use out of the box, but like all pedometers it must be calibrated to your personal stride length. It gives good instructions for that calibration, which is not difficult to do. I sometimes double-check mine by coming to a full stop, noting the current number of steps recorded, then walking off, say, 50 steps, stopping again and checking the new recorded number. If it's at or very close to +50 then I know my stride length is input correctly. I am a little confused about using it for swimming; I'm pretty sure it is not waterproof.

I used mine right out of the box but have yet to go swimming with it. Not sure it's waterproof!

I didn't care for this pedometer. I found it hard to read, the calorie count was not accurate and neither were the steps.

At first the pedometer was ok but it changes information without me requesting it. Also it continues to have the same information I putted every time I use it. There are much better pedometers out there I returned mine.

Try rice. I have ruined 2 with water. However, one did work quite a while later. Open back take out battery and place in dish of rice. My sister swears by it. However, I wish this was waterproof, it is my favorite pedometer.

Do you wear wear something on your wrist now? If so are you willing to wear something else or instead? Do you need a device that is water resistant? Do you want a device that shows data (steps, etc.) on the device itself, or are you willing to look at your phone app/computer dashboard for details? Do you want to track flights of stairs?

It comes with a charger and computer connection. Nice pedometer and works for 3 - 4 days without charge. Only problem is that to see a graph of activity it is only on the unit, and can not be downloaded or printed. Hope this was helpful.

The zip basically is a very good pedometer. Counts steps, and active minutes.

It will. But it is more of a training coach. It will tell you how fast you do each mile, your best time, when to walk, when to run, etc. It would be cheaper to just get a pedometer. A pedometer you wont have to charge it every day.

Kinda. It is a legitimate pedometer. But you need a friend with the game, at least to activate it. What you should have them do is send a Pokemon, from their game, to your Pokewalker. Then they can take it back. After that, you will have the step counter visible. :) You only need a friend with HeartGold or SoulSilver, to activate it.

It will record up to 99,999 steps and has no memory so you will have to reset it manually. It is a very simple to use basic pedometer.

I don't believe so and I haven't tried to use it that way. I know the Nike Fuel Band is designed for that. There is no pedometer feature with the watch but it would tell you the distance that you moved around.

Striiv has to be updated periodically by being plugged into a computer. It's also how you recharge your Striiv and takes minimal time. The Striiv is, by far, the best pedometer I have ever used.

Doesnt have feature to download onto your computer, you can just review the saved workouts on the watch itself. Its a very minimal i guess you could say "starter" gps watch. The best for uploading to computer and keeping track that way are garmin or nike gps watches.

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.

No. The Garmin Swim doesn't have any GPS function (you'd need to use the 310xt or 910xt version for open water swimming). Instead with the Swim you have to tell it what length of pool you are in and then in does a pretty good job based on your arm movement and glide off the walls of how many laps and what type of stroke which it then bases its distance, calories, etc... off of.

There are two run settings, one for outdoor courses and large indoor tracks (I assume). This one uses GPS tracking. If you can get a connection it should track you.The other run setting is for a treadmill. This one doesn't require the GPS.Swimming doesn't have a GPS tracker as far as I know. That doesn't mean it wont be added in the future though. This function works similar to the Treadmill run setting.

The only software that came with the pedometer was for the PC, so I would think not.
