After I read the good reviews here, I've bought the pedometer. What a disappointment !! The total is inaccurate, has more than 30-40% deviation from the actual steps !!! No matter where I placed him on the body (some places have tried it) !! Since the return to me was too much trouble (not sure if Amazon would assume the shipping and handling) and did not want to stand in line for 5 euros, I have done nothing. I buy a pedometer where I can try it directly, so the store.
