Healthy Heart Rate: ACCUSPLIT AE170 Pedometer with Steps, Distance, and Calories Burned Review

This pedometer is easy to set up and use.I tested its accuracy at the local highschool track by walking a 1/2 mile, and sure enough, my pedometer read 1/2 mile. The clip is sturdy, I haven't had any problem with the device falling off.The leash is a good extra - if it did fall off, it wouldn't hit the ground.My doctor gave me a goal of 10,000 steps per day, so I wear this all day long.It is light and I don't notice I am wearing it throughout the day.

The only downfall to this device (as is probably true with others)is that your stride is measured for walking, so when you are running or doing other cardio activity (elliptical) it doesn't accurately measure your distance.Since your stride is longer during a cardio activity (running), and the device is measuring your walking stride, the distance measurement falls short.However, the actual number of steps taken is still accurately measured.I suppose you could adjust the setting to a running stride when running to bridge this gap.
