Walking Style IV Step Counter - Pocket Size Pedometer, Active Mode & Calorie Calculation, Large Buttons and Large Display and Highly accurate with 3D sensor

I got this to record daily exercise. I bought it because it is Omron who make a lot of kit for hospitals and I already have a number of their products which are good. This arrived quickly and was easy to set up with time, weight, height and stride length. Getting the stride length right, on pedometers, is always difficult, so I set mine approximately and then downloaded an App which measures distance by GPS which I used to gradually make adjustments until the distance was reasonably reliable. The actual distance on these items is always a bit hit and miss since one rarely does a uniform stride length, that said, I now have it showing within 0.1 of a mile against the GPS tracker over 3 to 5 miles. This item is easy to use and read. It resets at midnight and works automatically; you can also set it for an individual walk. It comes with a nice sturdy clip and strap so you can clip it to your pocket and leave inside. If you are looking for a pedometer you could do a lot worse. It is not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and I would definitely recommend this item.

This is my fourth Omron walking style pedometer, though this is a newer version to my last one that I had, which was lost. ( the others were sadly put through the wash accidentally still attached to my trouser belt loop). Easy to set up, I use talcum powder lightly sprinkled on carpet to get a good measure of step length, easy to see that the steps are natural walking length. This little gadget is really quite accurate, I have measured the distances walked in my car, also on my bike on an accurate distance mapper. I do think that it is quite expensive, but having said that this is the one I have gone straight back to ordering as a replacement, can't live without it!.

This step counter is very simple and doesn't require an app or internet connection. At the start you input a few pieces of basic data about yourself, e.g. height, weight, sride length, and away you go. The device isn't complex, it simply tells you how many steps you've taken, how many of those are 'aerobic', the distance you have walked and an estimate of the calories you have burned in doing so. It re-sets at midnight and you can look back at several days' worth of data. If you want a simple, easy-to-use step counter with no bells and whistles from a well-known manufacturer this is a great option. The only downside is it's pretty expensive as step counter go, especially for such a simple device, and so I have deducted a star for that reason.

Easy to set up and simple enough for my husband (who is not good with such things) to use. I would say it's good value for money and works well.

Didn’t get as far as testing it’s accuracy as I returned it as it cannot be clipped to a waistband or worn around the neck as supplied. Comes with a hand strap, not a lanyard and the clip supplied attaches to the end of the strap so it ensures that it won’t fall out of a pocket. If clipped and dangling from a waistband, which would be extremely annoying, it won’t record steps. 🫤 Nice and light but quite big. Ok for pocket use only.

This is a really simple but fairly accurate piece of equipment for recording your steps and distance travelled. As long us you measure your stride properly, it will reflect fairly accurately how many miles you have walked. I know because I tested it on a 6 mile walk in the Lake District, which has each mile post marked, and my pedometer exactly recorded the distance.

I agree entirely with the comment by Chris ap Alfred My Walking Style II worked for many years but the button for reference back to 7 previous day's results ceased to work although it does allow resetting of the device! I bought a IV. I have the two working side by side. The two devices show over 100% difference in readings for steps with almost zero for the three other measurements. Reference across to my wife's Fitbit shows the IV to be way off accuracy. Chris ap Alfred 1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy algorithm Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2020 Colour Name: BlackVerified Purchase This is a good example of how misguided product development can ruin a perfectly acceptable device. The Walking Style II did all the necessaries, counted every step. You can't get it any more. So when mine cooked, it was the IV. This little beast doesn't count every step, it decides which it will count. Walk a bit slowly, or up and down stairs, and it won't register the steps. Short bursts up to 10 steps are ignored, too. This algorithm could have been built in as an option, but no. The text font for setting up is miniscule. Doesn't match my needs at all.

Cracking wee gizmo - once you get beyond the hopeless instruction sheet. (I had it back in its packaging twice to return it, before a younger person set it up for me.) Now it merrily keeps count of my steps, waves at me if I've walked well, and delights me when some show in the aerobic category. Really neat!

Très pratique et ludique Léger sans soucis

J'ai le mien depuis plusieurs années. Produit solide et facile d'utilisation. Je l'ai fait tomber plusieurs fois et même passé une fois à la machine à laver par erreur, et ca fonctionne encore. L'appareil compte les pas de façon très précise. J'ai fait plusieurs tests en comptant moi même les pas pour comparer et j'en suis très satisfaite.

Geen mobiel meer mee of fitbit, bij het lopen als je alleen je stappen wil tellen Super handig, klein en de km. en tijd wordt aangegeven.

Sehr gut! Ich habe die Rezensionen gelesen und war mir sehr unsicher, habe trotzdem gekauft. Ich konnte alles gut einstellen, habe in der Wohnung ausprobiert (bei 20 oder 50 Schritten zählte genau), kann sein, dass zwischendurch im Laufe des Tages 1-2 Schritte nicht gezählt werden, das ist mir aber egal. Da ich ihn aber schon 3 Jahre habe, kann ich nur empfählen - ist sehr gut für täglichen Bedarf, glaubwürdig und absolut ausreichend, Die erste Batterie hielt länger als 1,5 Jahre, Austausch ganz einfach. Ich habe nie die Befestigungsklammer benutzt, ich mag die Befestigung am Gürtel nicht. Auch nicht am Hals hängend - trage immer in der Hosentasche. Ich habe nur vergleich mit dem Schrittzähler von WeightWatchersf.
