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

Yes it does. Totally accurate??? Not sure but close enough. I have found this to be a very good product and would recommend it.

Yes! Click the mode button a few times until you get to "distance" not "steps." It shows to the second decimal place.

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.

No. Surprisingly, it's calibrated to detect actual steps, not random movement. Granted you might find that you accumulate a few more steps than reality, but maybe only a few out of thousands of steps in a day.

Eh at best it's just an estimate. I've hit my steps total sitting in my armchair watching TV before. You can change the sensitivity settings online, or you can wear it on your non-dominant hand to decrease sensitivity if it's a concern for you, but looking at the phone app and watching the steps register while I walked or just waved my arms standing still gives a good indication of what is going to register as a step and it does a decent enough job.

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

It will count the steps and base the calories, etc on steps, but whether it counts it as workout minutes depends on whether you move for 10 minutes straight without stopping. I have yet to have it pick up any of my workouts as "workout minutes/calories" because I do not move constantly when I am working out. I will admit that I am rather disappointed with this particular feature. I workout at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week but because of knee issues, I use machines, so there are breaks between the exercises. Thus, my workouts never get recorded as such.

Probably not. I just tried alternating meter on hip and in pocket while walking slowly. It didn't register the steps.

I do not think it counts steps. It's basically a GPS on your wrist and tracks miles and speed very well. My wife loves it.

Yes, you can just read how many steps/miles on the Fitbit. You will need to tap/press the face of the Fitbit.

Check you instructions. But I do know that you,have measure your walking stride for a give distance with a tape measure. Then enter the number of steps it takes to cover the distance.

Yes there is a clock, and the day counter resets to zero each 24 hours but then if you press mode again it will show you the cumulative steps and how many days it has been since you started....it will also convert your steps into distance and on another mode screen it will tell you the time if your steps have been consistant as if you were exercising ie "exercise time". I got it for the claims of accuracy and the distance measure but am finding the other information it tracks helpful and fun.

I have seen it show steps right after I turn off my sleep mode. I just thought it from picking it up and moving with it.

Not really. It registers a certain number of hits, and then signals and turns off when the total number of hits is reached. But there's no way to tell how many hits you've sustained until then.

I am sure it would. It seems to count every step I take from morning to night and some of them are slow.

Yes, based on the number of steps and the step length that the user sets initially.

It depends on your height and length of stride, but the internet gives approximates. For me, at about 5'3", it's about 2500 steps. I don't worry about how many miles I walk, only if I can gradually add more steps to my daily routine.
