I own 3 pedometers. This one is the most expensive but the least accurate
This unit does not count all your steps. It only counts steps under certain conditions. From the owner's manual:
"The unit may not count steps correctly..." when:
"The unit is not positioned correctly." It must be perpendicular to the ground, so girls, forget just putting in your purse. The manual also says not to put it in a rear pocket. I find it only works at all when it is on your hip!
"The unit moves irregularly."
"Walking at an inconsistent pace" So forget counting steps while cooking, shopping, working or other "inconsistent pace" tasks. If you want to know how many stips you take during the day, this is NOT for you.
"Up and down movement" "Ascending of descending movement at stairs of in a steep slop". I would not have purchased this item if I knew just this one thing.
"Vibrations from a moving vehicle"
"Jog or walk extremely slowly"
