Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just pulled out the tab, hung it around my neck, and walked around the house, while counting my steps to check it's accuracy, which was right on. Then husband took it over, put it in his pocket- and after a week of seeing how well it worked for him, I got a second one for myself. Very simple to use, only records steps, I don't want it to do anything else. When immobile, it shuts itself off after awhile to conserve battery. Comes back on as you walk- simply check your total at the end of the day, then press and hold button to reset to zero for the next day. Or be like me, and 'forget' to reset, and you will start the next day by adding on to the prior day's total- if you want to 'cheat'. My husband and I were both shocked and disappointed at our low number of steps, I think unless you use a device like this to count, most folks don't realize how much they sit!! fyi: When you first start walking, it waits until after you go 10 steps, then begins counting, but then it does include those initial 10. Also, doesn't seem to count up while on stairs, or on Pilates machine, for example- maybe some form of exercise or movement will count, but so far, not for us, it counts our steps only - which is good, as that is what it's for!
