Reliable pedometer

Timex Digital Pedometer


After trying a dozen pedometers, I discovered the rugged, well designed Timex 5E021.

The display is large enough to read easily, and the construction is sturdy. The belt clip never slips off. It clips securely to a belt or even the elastic band of a pair of athletic shorts.

Every other pedometer I tried had serious design flaws. Battery doors fell off, belt clips broke, and buttons were positioned so it was easy to accidently reset the units. Many of the other pedometers I tried were overly sensitive to belt position. If the pedometer was too far to the front or back of my waist, the step-count and distance would be off by as much as a third. By contrast, the Timex is easy to position (right over the hip bone) and is always accurate. The reset button is positioned so it will not reset accidently.

FYI: on yr recommendation I tried the Timex Pedo. greatly disappointed. stride length adjustment inadequate. consistently imprecise in distance, step/min, step #, mph. All against a measured course. I've emailed Timex asking if they would do the honorable thing. Waiting to hear from them. Waddya bet?
