PINGKO Outdoor Multi-Function Portable Sport Pedometer Step/Distance/Calories/Counter

Really happy I got this pedometer! I already have the red one and I really love it but I think I might like this one even more. It doesn't perform any better than the other, they're both just as good but I like that this one is black because it doesn't stand out as much as the bright red one does which is nice when I'm in a more professional setting. Anyway, just like the last one it came on time, nicely packaged, and looked exactly like the pictures online. I've been tracking EVERYTHING lately in an attempt to lose weight and get healthier but I realized a few weeks ago that it just wasn't possible to track my activity accurately without a pedometer so I got the red one and absolutely fell in love. It's small and lightweight which I like a lot because I don't notice it when I'm wearing it. Depending on what I'm wearing that day, I'll just clip it onto my shirt or pants and forget about it until the end of the night when it's time to log my numbers. If I have something important to do i'll usually stuff it into my back pocket or clip it onto my bra so nobody sees it but now that I have this black one it will be much easier to hide when I need or want to. They're very easy to use, too. I like that I don't need an additional app because I hate using up all that space on my phone and it's so much simpler this way. I'm really liking both of them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in tracking their steps, distance, or calories burned!

Totally rewriting my review and cutting my 2 stars to 1. Zero if I could.I recently lost the pedometer I bought to replace this one when this one failed a minimalist test just around the house. I had tucked this in a box to go to Goodwill.But put this one on again, fixed to a strap that fits snugly around my ankle, and this time I went shopping. Parked in the farthest corner of the parking lot at each of 3 stores. In the 2 bigger stores I walked a haphazard course that including doubling back on myself: extra steps. After the 3rd store, I walked across the street to CVS to see if they had pedometers, must have checked every aisle - lots more steps - and left empty-handed. Checked this pedometer when I got home: all that walking for 85 whole steps on the pedometer!! I know from experience that that trip usually takes more like 2,200+ steps.Reset to zero, went for my walk. About 1.75 miles, usually about 5,000-6,000 steps for me depending on how much I slow down for traffic or dogs, feel tired, take big steps over puddles, etc, but for the most part it's an uninterrupted walk, 1 intersection and no stop lights. With this pedometer? 1,270 steps.So, it clearly doesn't work at all for me. I'm a bit mystified about why it ever registers a step at all, when it does, frankly.

Great item. I use it daily for walking to track my daily exercise and calories. I love it!

I was excited to receive this. True to reviews it has many good features: it is very easy to program, the screen is large enough to see at a glance, it is simple to switch between steps, distance, and calories and then back to steps, the belt clip is reliable, and it is super cute. Best of all, it is accurate within 3-8 steps. BUT, it's unforgivable design flaw is that it does not wait till midnight to delete your day's activity. It deletes your activity at any time of day. You can be heading out to get your last two or three thousand steps in for the day. You check your pedometer and -- oh nooooo! -- you do not have 8500 steps in. You have 0 steps. Or, it can be like this morning. I got up and took my dog for a nice walk and was delighted to see that we started the day with 4355 steps already in. But by 1:00 p.,m., the pedometer had switched itself back to zero. So great effort for the designers, but a faulty and very disappointing purchase in the end :-(

The pedometer is the right size and has the functions I wanted without a few extra's that I didn't want but others might like. The instructions were a little lacking but it was possible to figure out how to get everything set up without too much trouble. It lets you switch from Metric to English units and to enter your stride length in order to compute miles/kilometers walked, and to enter your weight so it can compute calories. I thought these were nice "bonus" features although I really only wanted to count my steps every day. Unfortunately at first the pedometer was not accurate at all. Wearing it in the same spot and the same way while walking the same route, one day it recorded over 5,000 steps, another day 3,000, another day 3,800. I decided to post my original (1-star) review one day after walking for an hour and finding it had recorded zero steps.However, I kept using the pedometer despite its failings, more or less for amusement, and after a few days, for whatever reason, it somehow seemed to be become much more consistent. I am now getting step counts that are always within a few dozen of each other. I am still using it the same way. Maybe something inside it worked itself loose? The pedometer does have a mechanical device within it that makes it count the steps, so it's possible that something had to smooth itself out over time (although I'm just guessing). Since the pedometer is now giving consistent counts that seem to be correct, I upped my rating to four stars. I am still docking a star for the instructions being hard to follow and for the initial period of inaccuracy.

does not calculate steps correctly.I like the size, but as i walk it wont calculate steps
