Summary: Excellent Pedometer with All The Right Features!
Comment: I've had this pedometer for over 2 years and it still works like brand new. It's very solidly-built, reliable, and is simple to use. It uses 2 of the CR-2032 [watch style] batteries (included) and battery life is generally more than a year.
As for accuracy, no pedometer is perfect, but this one is rather accurate, especially for the price. The pedometer has a slide button to adjust the sensitivity of the pedometer for more accurate results. I've found I get the most accurate results with it in the least sensitive setting. Even then, it still tends to overestimate slightly, but only 2 or 3 steps for every twenty - or about 10% (at least in my experience). The best place to put it is close to either hip (usually the hip you lead with when you walk/run) and not in the middle of your waist (middle of the waist often double-registers steps on most pedometers because of the way your body moves as you walk).
The pulse feature is easy to use and comfortable. The pedometer also has a night backlight as well. The clip is very sturdy and has never allowed the pedometer to fall off even on the most vigorous runs.
Overall this is an excellent pedometer packed with solid features at a very reasonable price.
Pros:
-Lightweight and small
-Intuitive and easy to use
-Packed with many features for such a small device
-Excellent battery life
-Pretty accurate
-Durable, and with a good clip
Cons:
-Clamshell design means you have to have it closed to properly register
steps, and must open it to check on your results.
-To reset all counters, you must be in the Step Mode (not a huge deal)
-Doesn't store previous workouts/can't save multiple days
