I want to know if this is a SIMPLE to set pedometer?

This item was not hard to set, however, it is extremely inaccurate. The pedometer was going to be a gift, but in order to be effective, it needed to be a fairly accurate measurement of activity. I set it, wore it, checked it frequently after activity and counting steps to cross check accuracy, and it was never close to my self counting. I tossed in the drawer after one day. I'm not are how accurate these products generally are, so I don't know if purchasing a more expensive model would help.

I would say yes. It has 3 buttons, mode (miles or steps), set (which I still don't understand that button), and reset. The problem was not its ease of use. The problem is it doesn't count. You literally have to stomp your steps and if it's anywhere but on your foot/ shoe it doesn't do anything.

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.)

No! That's the beauty of Fitbit!!! Just put your info in & your good to go. I generally charge it up once a week so it is very easy to use. Happy walking/running!

I don't use the pedometer very much but I think you can set it to run all the time until you "erase" and return to zero. Suggest you contact Pixnor and ask.

I used it in a pedometer with the same size but different number and it worked for me. Lou

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.

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! :)

All the Fitbits will count your steps and are simple to use. It just depends how much you want to spend on it. I love mine! Good motivator to keep moving.

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.

No, the step count resets at midnight to "0". There is no carry over from the previous day same as with some of the other pedometer's I've used.

Not as it is ordered, but I bet a pedometer or the new efit bands would count for you. We use time as our measure of exercise.

Apparently so!!! I've been using the pedometer for several months. I don't really use the USB and it's still there!!!

I'm guessing you mean the pedometer? I think it works as well as pedometers in general work. I've never owned a pedometer that was 100% accurate. I bought the watch for my dad so I haven't used it myself. He hasn't complained that it doesn't work but he feels like I do, not many pedometers are accurate.

This ped does measure distance & calorie count, but it also does a bunch of other stuff that I don't need. It also is set up to show the time of day... but that has become wrong, probably due to being shut down for awhile... and now I can't figure out how to reset it to the correct time.

Our Omron pedometer came with a brief but adequate instruction manual - which gives step-by-step instructions how the device can be re-set. If you do not have this small manual, check with <www.omronhealthcare.com> or write to Omron Health Care, Inc., 1923 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045. Good luck, LO

I just took a look at mine. I don't see a timer per se. But it will tell me how long I was walking (in minutes) and how many minutes of that was aerobic (based on steps per minute).Not the more complicated technical device of its type I'm sure, but very informative for me.Hope that helps.

I don't know, because I never received the pedometer...only the accessory package.
