You do NOT always get what you pay for…,
I purchased this product at my local sporting goods. I figured since it was one of the most expensive pedometer models they offered, it would probably be the most accurate…WRONG. It did have some pretty cool features: counted distance in miles, in addition to steps; it has a pace “beeper” to keep you walking at a certain pace; stopwatch; 7-day tracking history.
I found it to be VERY inaccurate sometimes and VERY accurate other times. One morning I woke up and put it on as I got out of bed. I only walked about 5 steps around my bed, and the pedometer registered I was walked over 20. I even made sure to place it vertical and close to my body (per the directions).
When I walked on the treadmill, however, it was very accurate. It matched up nearly perfectly with the distace I had walked.
One day it also reset randomly. If it had a cover, this probably would not have happened. It’s frustrating when you try to get a decent reading, only to see your pedometer has bene reset.
I am going to return it today for my money back. I would NOT purchase any SportLine brand products again.
I have read wonderful reviews about Omron pedometers. They are cheaper and are considered the MOST ACCURATE pedometers ever.

Don’t Buy This Pedometer,
This pedometer appeared to be the one I was looking for in terms of function, size, and durability. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Similar to these other reviews, after some effort, I was able to get the back off to engage the battery, but was not able to securely close the back enough to have the battery have continuous contact. As a result, the device would constantly reset and I was never able to use the device as intended. I too am returning this product and will not purchase another Sportline.

Waste of money, not accurate or durable,
I purchased this for an aid in my running training. I spent a little more to get something that would be more accurate, but this definitely has not worked out to be the case. I run the same run every other day of the week. I recently heard about [...] and entered my route. What the pedometer was calling 6.95 miles was actually only 5.23. That is a big margin of error. I do have to say the pedometer was consistently inaccurate however, always giving the same distance. I entered my stride distance based on a measurement of 300 feet, so it should have been fairly accurate. For the money, you would also expect that it would be durable: also not the case. The pedometer began to malfunction completely after three uses.
