The Silva Pedometer now been with me for almost half a year every day. It works reliably, although I still have it only in your pocket and not the included lanyard around your neck. I had previously also no problems with the battery compartment, describe what other customers here. The fact that you have to make a minimum 5 steps to ensure that the counting starts, you also get a few falsified results in one-time "stuttering", eg in the car. I often go underground and ICE, here is the step number changes by the movement of trains hard. The situation is different from the case of regional trains, there are quite distorted. The pedometer is robust, can go hiking, jogging or simply used as for daily use (by the different step lengths, depending on the activity, however, then the km display reliable for all activities). Anyone looking for a small, lightweight everyday companion who seeks next step number also guideline for calorie consumption, the km display, the time on the move, and (I think that's great!) The time, is here correctly waived in any case.
