Do the number of steps show up right away, or does it take a bit for them to be tracked?

Sometimes there is a slight delay and a bunch will show up at once, but it usually I pretty on target (although elliptical steps are questionable). I have had mine since June and I still wear it everyday and love it!

You need to take about 30 0r so steps before it starts counting, but once it does it catches up. If you are still for a while it will do the same thing.

The steps do not count correctly at all. It seriously logged 100 steps while I was standing still blow drying my hair! It would not count steps I actually walked. I returned this product because of its severe inaccuracy.

Yes and No. It will track your distance for the day and tell you what the number of steps equate to in miles. Online it will show a breakdown of how much time was sitting, walking slowly-moderately and/or running. If you make note of your number of steps prior to your run and immediately afterwards, you can figure out your distance by googling the equation.

Yes. It tracks steps, active minutes, calories burned and distance. You can input a stair em tracker, but I haven't done so.

No need for that. In general, it does a very good job counting steps. It has a default stride length that works well if you're close to average height for your gender; if you're particularly tall or short you can set a custom stride length in the online profile that you can set.

Hi Jaye.I love this. It starts tracking your Movements when you start walking. It turns off when you stop and begin again when you're walking.As for shutting off for the day once you remove it from your body and not put it back on it will stay off. It will start overy the beginning of the next day with new date and time.It keeps track of your steps for seven days so that you can see your progress. When you hit your 10,000 steps a little person dance around.

The tracker refreshes at intervals...I think every 3 minutes. So, not 'real time' but pretty close.

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.

I have mine set up to track for a week. I think when I got mine the default setting was 3 days.

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.

Maria, I didn't get that far. I could walk for 1/2 hour and it would register 78 steps. I was too frustrated and too busy to hassle with trying to return 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! :)

Yes! The download after your run is amazing. It is also much more accurate than devices that count your steps/revolutions bases on your stride/wheel size.

As long as one foot is placed on the scale, you can then take a few seconds to several seconds to step on with the other foot. At least that is who it works on my scale.

Unfortunately, no. It only counts up. Maybe get 2 in different colors - one to count entries and the other for exits.

Sorry no, but you could keep a record of the steps and then calculate each walk.

No, the flex does not show the actual number (although the the fitbit Force does). The Flex just shows dots as a percentage of your daily goal. I am okay with it because if I want to know the exact number of steps I simply sync with my phone.

I dont know. Mine resets at midnight every day, as I'm more concerned about each day's total. I know I'll never walk a million steps in a day! :-)
