   These gadgets are great motivational devices and deserve most of the credit for my taking several long walks each week. I started with the fairly pricey Digi-Walker but soon broke the non-spring clip and ended up ordering two more at premium prices. Then I discovered Omrons and Boston Scientifics, but they struck me as overly touchy, not particularly accurate, and overloaded with bells and whistles. The goal is to reach 10,000 steps–not to time yourself, count your calories, take your pulse, and keep monthly medical records. The more complicated you make the device, the less likely you are to use it. Observing that I was using and breaking pedometers, my family started giving me deluxe models from Sharper Image and Brookstone for Christmas and birthdays–some had built-in radios and others played canned, silly melodies to match my stride. After a single walk, I was usually tired of them.

   Even though most of the aforementioned pedometers were 3-4 times more expensive than this Sportline Step Counter, they soon went into a desk drawer and became mere collectors’ items. The Sportline, on the other hand, has seen a lot of use. It has a strong spring clip and is quite durable and accurate. It may not be very smart, but it can count.

   Good and Basic, December 27, 2003

   This is a VERY basic pedometer. It is designed to be used with fitness programs that count the actual steps taken and that is all it does. There is a booklet on walking that comes with it that is pretty useless. It attempts to give conversions for how far a given number of steps is based on stride length but fails to label the measurements so we can’t tell if it’s metric or english measurements. If interested in using to figure the length of a walk it is far easier to walk a measured mile and then use the number of steps as your guide. For the price is certainly fun. Ideal for kids and those with just a curious interest in how many steps (or distance if you take the time to the math).

   Loved it……but it didn’t last long!!!, August 26, 2004

   Basic pedometer which was pretty accurate. Wore it almost every day for a month, and it really encouraged me to be more active. Unfortunately I dropped it on to soft carpeted flooring and it no longer works! Should be a little bit sturdier, particularly as most people wear pedometers when working out.
