Does it count your steps if you are walking on a treadmill?

Yes - walking climbing, steps, treadmill - and probably pull-ups too! Difficult to set and change modes - buttons on reverse side from screen, small, and placed too close together.

Yes; it is very sensitive.I like it a lot & recommend it to friends & family.

Yes, it also counts your bumps while driving in a car. It has a 3 D sensing system that picks up your movement. I have also found it counting my pedaling strokes when riding my bike. It's great!

I find this sensor to be about as accurate as anything I've ever used. It works on a treadmill, outside, running, walking, or any body movement. You can have it sitting in your pocket or tied to your belt (or even your bra) and get accurate step counts. The battery lasts about 6 months and the software for downloading is pretty easy. For the price, it is a great buy.

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.

Yes, because it measures the number of steps you take. If you have accurately entered the length of your stride then the pedometer will faithfully and accurately calculate your distance regardless of how long it took you.

Pace, counts the steps each time your foot hits the pavement. This instrument counts the measured steps you make. To work properly it requires you enter the length of your stride and based on that and assuming a consistent stride it keeps track of your steps (running or walking) and your distance. I am sure you can get an idea of your pace using this tool but I would not look at it to measure pace as much as it measures step counts and distance travelled.

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

Yes. I've used it on a treadmill and it registers the steps. I imagine it would also work on an elliptical.

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 does not count steps, but it's great for walking & running. It tracks mileage and calories, and you can set intervals up as well.

It isn't sophisticated. All it's measuring is your arm movement (or wherever you're wearing your Fitbit). You could walk or jog holding your arm still and it will think you aren't moving. Or you can shake your arm up and down and it will count it as steps. I did try and count my steps and check it for accuracy. For example, I was close to 6000 steps, then counted another 400. It came out pretty close to 6400, give or take 10 or 12. The trouble is, I'm not that great at walking and counting at the same time! (That's why I need something that does the counting.)

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

It will count it as steps but it also picks up rigorous activities. You will have to sync it with your computer in order to view your stats. I love mine! I have it synced with myfitnesspal app. It keeps track of steps, calories burned, water in take, calorie intake, sleep, and you can set timers to remind you to move. It really is a great product. Only thing I don't like is that the hot pink doesn't stay hot pink long. I've had mine 2 weeks and already buying a black band because the pink looks dirty and I can't get it cleaned.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

it counts steps in two ways. it counts aerobic steps, which is walking at least 10 minutes without stopping, and then it counts the total steps that you walk as long as you are wearing it. it clears your numbers every 24 hours and sets itself back to zero, except for the time.
