3DActive 3DFitBud Simple Step Counter Walking 3D Pedometer with Clip and Lanyard, A420S

It's good and accurate

It's simple to use and seems accurate. I bought myself one and bought another two for my parents, as it's especially suited for older people, with a larger screen and one-button re-set.

Sorry, first review was for a different item, the aligator clips! My review for the 3DFitBud: its a great item. I use it everyday and it shows in big numbers what my step counts are. I would buy from this seller again.

The 3DFitBud Simple Step Counter Walking 3D Pedometer could not be easier to use. Hold in the reset button for a few seconds to zero it out when you wake up, then stick it in your pants pocket or carry it on the supplied lanyard or in your purse or bag way, and read your steps whenever you want. The display is large and easy to read. It is not lighted, but that saves circuitry, size, and battery life. Unfortunately, the pedometer I purchased was not accurate. As a test, I carried it in my left pants pocket while walking on my treadmill for about 25 minutes. In my right pants pocket, I carried my Android smartphone with a pedometer app I downloaded at no cost. I compared the readings on both devices to the steps tracked by my treadmill. I have repeatedly checked my treadmill's step-counting accuracy over the years by counting my steps as I walk, and comparing them to the treadmill. Consistently, over 2,000 steps, the treadmill never varies from my actual count by more than two steps, which is a maximum error of only 1/10 of one percent (0.001). So I was comfortable using my treadmill's reading as the standard for a comparison of the 3DFitBud Simple Step Counter Walking 3D Pedometer and the smartphone app. The free downloadable app on my phone was extremely close to the treadmill's reading. It varied from the treadmill by less than 1/2 of one percent (0.004). On the other hand, the 3DFitBud Simple Step Counter Walking 3D Pedometer had an unacceptable error of eight percent (0.080). Furthermore, the error is not consistent. I've done several tests. Sometimes the 3DFitBud reads high and sometimes it reads low, compared to actual steps counted. And some errors were much higher than eight percent. So, sadly, I'm returning the 3DFitBud Simple Step Counter Walking 3D Pedometer to Amazon for a refund. I'll use the free app I downloaded for my Android. It's my understanding a basic pedometer may com standard on Apple phones. If not, I'm sure such apps are available. Just search for "pedometer."

Great little pedometer. Wish it tracked miles too

Love this handy pedometer! It’s accurate and spares me from wearing the fitness watch!
