The pedometer is small and light, when you carry it in your trouser pocket, you hardly noticed him. So it measures all day the steps that time it has been running and the calories consumed. A day-step goal can contact, the progress is displayed as a bar. This feature I find particularly good. The unit will beep when the destination is reached, you can not turn off unfortunately. Batteries are included. If the machine stops moving for more, the display turns off automatically, helping to save battery. For me, a great and accurate pedometer, what more could you want! ?
