The battery life is 4-6 months at a daily 2-4 hours, respectively. 10,000 steps to walking or jogging activity. In my copy of the enclosed large screwdriver to fit only obliquely tilted in the tiny Phillips head screw of the battery compartment. Such provisional in the production at first sight suggests bad in respect of other product quality, what then but not confirmed, fortunately.
After setting the time, weight (30-136 kg), size (100-199 cm) and stride length (30-250 cm) the user the device calculates the so-called. Workout mode (eg jogging), the elapsed time, as well as from the counted steps, the distance covered (= number of steps times stride), the calorie consumption (estimate based on the entered physiological data) and the average speed. As day-sums are spent also the number of steps, calorie consumption and fat consumption by the steps of the day. In each case the last seven workout values at times and routes, and the last seven day values of steps are stored. The stride length, in Workout mode important for an accurate as possible calculation of the distance covered is first estimated by the device based on the input size of the user and can be used in a special mode over a predefined distance (as multiples of 100 m), as on the sports field be set precisely on the basis of the necessary number of steps.
The operation is very simple. It takes just three buttons. After setting the above mentioned underlying the device counts daily from 0:00 - 24:00 clock all shocks which it interpreted as steps, and continuously calculates the remaining values. By pressing the MODE button you can leave these values show during the day according to the current state. If you want to perform in between a workout, jogging or power walking about, so the matters covered by two values-second pressure on the START button at the beginning and end of this period as a workout mode can be counted separately or calculated. Finally let a MEMO button above the last seven past tense values on day-step sums and workout times and routes call.
The pedometer then works most accurately when it is worn in a chest or front pants pocket, in a uniform comoving purse or around your neck on your belt or waistband, and when running smoothly with a firm step. Counting errors occur according to the instructions, if the device is carried about or in a handbag and thereby moved irregularly in to light step, as shuffling, in sandals, in crowds or particularly slow, and at excessive side-shocks, such as when sitting down and standing up, climbing stairs, on a bike, in a car, trains or on the bus.
I'm not a jogger, but a fairly brisk walker, and I get along well with the device. Worn all day on your belt, it is very reliable. Significant og counting errors I could not find in everyday life. Rather, motivated in fact help to move more and to cover one or the other way on foot to get to the recommended 10,000 steps a day.
Conclusion: There are certainly less expensive devices, but those who value the convenience functions, receives the HYA-300 just as reliable as easy to use device that is fun to use and stimulates the activity.
