When I called to confirm the order. I asked, to make sure I was getting a PEDOMETER FOR WALKING and the “clerk” who struggled through “HER-English”, said Yes, Yes, pee doee meaater – NOT! That was the reason I called, to confirm I would be getting what I had asked for.

Not that reliable. I should have returned but seem too much of a hassle.

Waste of money, got it setup and you need really tiny tools to do it. Put it on took 5 steps, it registered 34. Not accutate at all.

Very dissapointed… walked around for several minutes and only was able to register 8 steps. I guess for $15… you get what you pay for. Not worth the bother of returning it.

I wouldn’t know how this product works!! I was so excited to get it and when it finally came about three days ago it didn’t work! The battery was already dead! I must say, we all expect batteries to run down and have to be replaced. However, one wouldn’t expect the first thing you have to do when you get a product is replace the battery and wait another two weeks for the battery to come and then, finally, you can use the product. I’m a little disappointed, I must admit.
