Easy to Use, Works as Advertised
Very easy to use. Be aware that there is a small window of time to set the time, date and your weight, so that you have to have a sense of what you are doing, but it's very easy to re-start if you wait too long. Just hold down "set" until you get the option to start changing things and toggle through the selections. Very simple if you've set a digital watch before.
It works for me and my wife no matter where we wear it. The necklace option is a little awkward to set up, but it clips anywhere and the clip is wide and simple. I have clipped it on my inside coat pocket, my belt loop and my shirt pocket, all with the same excellent step count. I get that nowadays people are often using their fitbit or other device to track steps, and that is, admittedly, efficient, but I'm not a fan of the fitbit option. I like to keep track a little more old school so I am forced to think about it all more. Perhaps I'll get on the fitbit bandwagon eventually, but for now, my wife and I have fun with tracking steps and calorie consumption separately.
Some people complained about the device not tracking your first 10 steps. My wife and I like that option, since it forces us to get up and move a bit more and doesn't track just walking between the couch and fridge.
