The unit is to operate smoothly due to its ease of use and good visibility especially for the elderly. There is no tiny little buttons that need Vedas pressed to browse through menus in tiny screens around the device to program or to display the desired data. The stride length is to be set with a simple, side-mounted slider and that's about it. The reading of the distance traveled is as easy as reading the time on an analog watch. Those who want to necessarily know the number of steps can still always get the good old "Adam Riese" for help. All in all a very practice-oriented quality product!
