I decided to try this pedometer after using Digiwalkers aka Accusplit for about 8 years. I wanted something that would be more accurate in my pocket because while the Digiwalkers I have used (2 in 8 years) have been great as far as on the waistband, once in awhile in my pocket they tilt and stop counting. Well this one not only doesn’t START counting when clipped to my waist or bra, it does not count in my pocket at all! I usually walk according to the Digiwalker Accusplit mode 170XLGM JW200 about 7,000 steps working–this registered 654. I tried various ways of putting the Omron in the pocket to count to no avail. My husband’s generic pedometer he got during some employee health week counted within 100 steps of the Digiwalker (I had all 3 pedometers on for 2 days now). I’m disappointed and surprised at how many positive reviews this product has and wondering what I am doing wrong. I do like the memory function, it’s easy to set up, and the screen is easy to read–but if it’s not accurate it’s useless. Plus it’s INCREDIBLY bulky.
