Visually, it is very nice to look at in my opinion, and does not bear too much on, the mounting is very stable and you need not be afraid of losing him.
Because the counter counts until the 4th step, the movements are for example makes sitting you not also detected, but this limit is exceeded, the 4 steps be included. Also riding in the car is largely not counted, I have here may find only minor measurement error (if you do not want the ride is counted, you can just write down the value before each ride and press after disembarking reset).
The personalization of the device is just the case's play using the supplied (German) instructions. Variable settings are body weight and stride length, calculated from this counter an approximate Kcal number one has consumed. In addition, you can change in the distance between a mile and kilometer.
After about a minute without moving the display switches off automatically, in this case the values do not go but lost. Thanks to the solar panels on the front counter no extra battery is needed. According to the manual, the counter probably contains but a backup battery.
For this great price-performance ratio I give full 5 points.
