Is the pedometer accurate?

No. I went on a run and half way through I checked my count and it was still 0. It is more how much you thrash your arm around, which is counted. I use this more to keep track of my heartbeat during workouts. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Simple answer NO, I do not like this trainer watch for that reason. It has 3 sesnitivity levels and they are either off by too much distance for high sensitivity lor to little for moderate or low sensitivity. And I mean off by a LOT.

Steps are not accurate if you are not swinging your watch arm in conjunction with your feet. For example, I was walking on the treadmill at a very steep incline today and chose to hold onto the handrails for balance, and only 30% of my steps were recorded.

By unit do you mean the actual pedometer itself? If so, yes. In the box is the Striiv pedometer and accessories.

Yes, in as much as the built in altimeter is accurate. This is old tech, newer companies offer better products an besides, much, much more importantly other companies may offer better support. From first hand experience, Fitbit customer service is atrocious, and that is very generous!!

No. I have not found this meter to be very accurate. The Accutrend Plus seems to be more accurate.

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

There is no way to calibrate this pedometer. If your looking for a reliable, and calibrated pedometer, I'm afraid this one will not work for you.

Not really sure how accurate but did catch movement when on bike, placed on shoe string. However, now I use a fitbit. Got it for Christmas and like the heart beat reading .. Good luck to you !

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.

On..I do not believe so.This is closer to a basic, plain vanilla pedometer ...but it does just that....counts steps and distance very well.I just wasted $150 on the Fuel bracelet that did an extremely poor job of counting steps.I could upload to my iPhone...computer, etc.....but it just never counted steps accurately. In fact, if I didn't move my arms, it almost never counted steps!

The instructions are a bit difficult to follow but once you get it setup, it works great. My boyfriend has a FitBit pedometer which cost 4X what this one does and they track your steps just as accurate together. I might upgrade to that if I feel the need to...but for now, this is sufficient. The directions that come with the unit are printed in rather small font so if anyone wants to view them online, here is the link to those same instructions: http://omronhealthcare.com/wp-content/uploads/HJ-321-IM-WEB-03212012.pdf

Mine works on my elliptical and when I'm on my recumbent bike...I put the pedometer on my shoe and it measures half the "steps" since only one foot is "going" up and down.

Yes. I was told that it can be a little off if there are a lot of GPS watches in the area, but I have found it to be pretty accurate.

You probably have shorter steps, but it would be wise to try and calculate the pedometer on a treadmill or a mile you have marked off previously. I found that I had underestimated my stride when I first set up my pedometer after having walked my regular route. I had to readjust my initial setting from 28" to 30" a step.

Most pedometer count steps by using an accelerometer that detects the impact of each step. Therefore, the count will not be accurate for non-impact exercises and some other activities. Out of curiousity, I used the Omron HJ-720 ITC while on the elliptical machine and noted a wide discrepancy between elliptical and pedometer step counts.

Yes it does, with day, date and last two digits of the year. I use it to measure heart beat at gym. I don't use the pedometer to measure how many miles I have run.

Yes, it is basically a pedometer with a simple computer and Bluetooth capacity for syncing.
