Counts apparently

The scope of supply apart from the actual pedometer heard only one belt clip, but to which I renounce, because the unit is very unobtrusive behaves in shirt or trouser pocket.

For operation you need two keys, and who has ever set a Cheap Digital or an alarm clock, or else a small device that is also with this apparatus have no difficulty and understand its logic quickly. I certainly had no desire to read the instruction manual before me, whose font size is a challenge and borders on assault.

In the beginning you have to set the usual things such as time and date, although the meaning of this setting does not open up to me, because the device has no memory. Entering the time and date only serves that the pedometer at the request may also indicate the time and date. A superfluous, but nice feature.

Greater difficulties, however, gave me the input to the average increment. The manual recommends, simply measure the length of ten steps and then the measured length to divide by ten, so as to obtain the average increment. I have now neither here nor in the street outside the possibility of times just measure the width of ten of my steps. In addition, the step size varies but also significantly depending on how fast you move, how slanted or uneven the way so I have therefore simply entered and decided to take a step width of 50 cm that I the distance traveled using a GPS when required Loggers can determine safer and more precise on the smartphone.

Somewhat confusingly, that the user does not specify whether the device on any or goes off. Apparently it is always on standby. After a certain time, the display turns off (irritating, also during walking), but if you reactivated stands a renewed step number. I conclude that the unit always counts.

Well, over the counting accuracy I can not say much - I've worn a few times the part in hand, and the counted number of steps he agreed with the counted by me. However, I have been wondering sometimes how many steps I should have come to me shortly appearing routes. To come to the recommended daily requirements for 10,000 steps, but is not so easy. I lie on a relaxing day with a little spout at about 3000 steps.

At the end of the day do not forget to reset the counter! Press and hold the right button until the display shows "Clr" flashes, then briefly to the left!
