My Accusplit pedometer was accurate when it worked right, and I liked having it.BUT (1) Even when I thought I had completely closed the case, somehow it seemed to have been slightly open; and when it was not completely closed, it reset itself to a setting entirely different from what I had set.(2) When I did make double-sure that the case was completely closed, it was very difficult to open.(3) When I did manage to pry it open, it easily came unhinged at the bottom.Basically, it's a cheap plastic design.In theory, I should have been able to snap it open and read what it said without stopping my run.In practice, this almost never happened.(4) It finally died when I ran down a sidewalk that had some bushes that hadn't been completely trimmed back.The pedometer was designed to be clipped to my waistband, and that's where it was; but apparently that cheap plastic hinge was no match for a stray branch.Some time later, I looked down and most of the pedometer was gone.Oh, well.Maybe some kid found it and became a more digital soul as a result.I may have contributed to the formation of a future engineer.Not bad for twenty bucks.But I still won't buy another one of these.Click Here to see more reviews about: ACCUSPLIT Health Engine AH120M9 Pedometer/Step Counter
