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. Operation is simple, the manual written well. There are only four buttons which you can click through the menus. One shortcoming: for setting clock, you have to press stride etc. per unit once, a long press of the button does not help. Positive is certainly that you have to measure his stride, to store them in the device, so the steps for each are individually numbered. The device has an automatic memory, so you can see up to 7 days and compare its values. The build quality is good, the buttons are a bit "shaky", but that drops to only the first impression. Overall, I find the pedometer as an alternative example, the pedometer in mobile / player very well. It is limited to what he should be able to not bulky. And if I do not want to measure my steps, I let him easily at home. I would recommend a purchase. Especially for "not so tech-savvy people" operation and handling will be comfortable.
