The settings of time and personal information, such as body weight and stride length were carried out quickly; this ranged a few glances at the manual, which is a bit confusing by the mesh-boxes of several languages - but it is sufficient. In this manual, there is a Web link to a manual, but also provides little more information, you do not need it anyway. The absence of resetting (zero) within the day is hardly a drawback, you can indeed times or remember an intermediate value and then deduct from the final value. The absence of a reset function does not bother me, because a short Removing the battery does it well. And for transferring to another person, I would not make a reset, but overwrite only the stride length and body weight. Update October 2013: Now for the first time changed the battery - after one year and one month; I think this is a good value. In addition, a two-pack of button cell has cost just one euro.
