Sportline 304 ShrinQ 2.0 Pocket Pedometer (Blue)So I bought one of these, read the manual, input my personal information, height, stride, etc. and was really excited that at the end of a normal day it registered 16,125 steps. I've been reading about the 10,000 step a day stuff and thought "piece of cake." Well, I gave it to my girlfriend who had been using another pedometer but was looking for something smaller and less conspicuous. After she read a similar result she thought there must be something wrong as she had been averaging about 8,000 steps a day. Sure enough I paid closer attention and did some tests counting steps and it was off, way off. Resetting it and putting it down on the table 5 steps. Walk to the kitchen 60 steps (I don't live in a big house.) So I called customer service and though they were very nice they basically told me that it is a very sensitive unit and they recommend not keeping it in your pocket while seated and to only use it while actually walking. This kind of defeats the purpose of the design which is intended to be portable and very discrete. They offered to send me a new one if I sent it in but they were sure it would give me the same results. I'm going to try to return it. It is not accurate to my satisfaction.
