3DTriSport Walking 3D Pedometer with Clip & Strap, eBook Included | 30 Days Memory, Accurate Step Counter, Walking Distance Miles/Km, Calorie Counter, Daily Exercise Time Monitor

What you should know up front before purchasing this pedometer is that it appears that the intention is to bring forward a low-cost accurate pedometer to the masses. To that end they have exactly done that with the following caveats:-It does not connect to Bluetooth-It does not connect to the cloud- No Instagram- It will not wave to your friends on FacebookIt is a pedometer and it is an offline pedometer and thank God for that!To bring the cost down they needed to be creative so you're not going to see plus and minus signs...You're going to be using the limited menu buttons that are available... if you want to get what some people might consider a higher-end unit you will be paying for it... but there are no shortcuts in commerce.I did find that the setup was a little bit awkward and I had to focus probably for 5 to 10 minutes really intently but after that and measuring my stride length I am completely impressed... and I love that I don't have to worry about it trying to keep track of all my step for the past 16 years... I just care how many steps I took TODAY. I then move on with my life

This pedometer can be an outstanding addition to any hiking, jogging, or running program It continuously displays the time (in either 12- or 24-hour systems), and monitors steps, distances (in miles or kilometers), calories consumed, and duration of activity. Depending on your performance objectives, the device can be set to continuously display the current time, and either the steps, distance, calories consumed, or activity duration for that particular day. Because it displays seconds as well as minutes and hours, this pedometer can help to monitor pulse.Adjustments in the various modes can be accomplished only when the appropriate data is displayed. For the initial set up, press the Mode button repeatedly until the screen displays the “Step” mode on the top line and the time on the bottom line. The device asks users to edit and finalize the settings for time (“12Hr” or “24Hr”), time measurement (seconds, hours, minutes, month, day, year), measurement system (inches “in,” or centimeters “cm”), stride length, weight, and daily step objective. Needless, to say, it is helpful to know the required information in advance because you have only a limited time to input the desired data for the initial set-up.To view totals in the various data fields, press the “Mode” button until the “Total Step” field appears on the top of the screen and the time appears on the bottom. Then pressing “Set” repeatedly will display the total miles, calories consumed, minutes of activity, and total steps. Apparently, these data are calculated from the time of the initial set-up. To view results for each of the previous 30 days, press the “Mode” button until the “Step” appears on top of the screen and “01” appears on the bottom. Then pressing “Reset” repeatedly will take you to a particular day, and pressing “Set” repeatedly will display the miles, calories consumed, duration of activity, and steps for that day.It is not clear what use the pedometer makes of such information as month, day, year, and daily step objective. But. obviously, determination of distance traveled and calories consumed will depend on the selected stride length. To determine stride length, it is best to walk (or run) over a measured course and note the number of steps taken. The term “mile” originated from the distance a Roman soldier could travel with 1,000 paces (i.e., 2,000 steps). So a Roman soldier could establish his stride length by dividing 63,360 (the number of inches in a mile) by 2,000 steps, thus discovering that his stride length was roughly 32 inches. For those of less classical inclinations, it may be simpler to walk a quarter mile, and divide the number of inches in a quarter mile (15,840”) by the number of steps required to cover this distance. If this takes 800 steps, the average step distance is approximately 20 inches. The calculation of calories consumed is derived from weight and the number of steps taken—but, needless to say, a long step up a steep hill will consume more calories than a short downhill step. And the calorie consumption does not take account of the length of steps and various other factors.Textual indication of the data displayed is provided in tiny letters across the top of the screen—these are almost invisible except under optimal illumination. Users can clip the pedometer to a belt or pocket, or suspend it from a neck strap. I prefer instead to thread a shoestring through the pedometer, permitting the pedometer to hang from my belt, which enables me to check time and distance by a simple upward flip of the device, while ensuring that it cannot be dropped.

Folks, if this baby was more accurate, I would have given it an 10. But, it does lack in accuracy. BUT, durability, I say it's second to none. I was wearing it outside while clearing brush. I had left some brush piled up to get the next time. I got home and realized my pedometer was missing. I looked everywhere I had been. Nothing. Well, 3 1/2 weeks later, I go to finish clearing things up and low and behold, there hanging on a branch was my pedometer. It had been out in the open Southeast weather for that entire time. I thought, it's trash. Opened it up, batteries completely dry. It had the correct time and all the functions worked perfect. Still it's accuracy is off some. But, for durability, it's awesome. I'm keeping it, an mentally making the adjustments.

I loved this pedometer! It's super easy to set up, doesn't require Bluetooth or a smartphone app, which makes it a breeze for those who just want something practical. The display is large and clear, so you can track steps, distance, calories, and even activity time without any hassle.What impressed me most was its accuracy: I can wear it around my waist, around my neck, or even in my pocket and it records accurately. It also stores 30 days of data, which is great for tracking my progress.

I had high hopes for this pedometer, but it ended up being a hassle from arrival. Setup was confusing despite following the included manual and watching their video. Even after entering my stride length and clipping it on as instructed, it gave me wildly inaccurate step counts, off by thousands compared to my smartwatch. I tried adjusting its placement, walking styles, even exaggerating my movements, but nothing made a meaningful difference. At best, it gave me half the steps I actually took. For a device meant to help you track fitness, it made me question everything it recorded. The calorie count and distance metrics were just as unreliable, which defeats the whole purpose. This has left me more frustrated than motivated.The overall design doesn’t help either. The interface is unintuitive and packed with confusing button combinations that make checking simple stats more complicated than it should be. The eBook that’s included doesn’t add much value and feels more like filler. Worst of all, the battery door is held on with a tiny screw that’s a pain to remove, why would something that needs regular battery changes be designed like that? I had to dig around for a precision screwdriver just to open it. Even then, the screw turned but didn’t come loose, which forced me to pry it open and risk damaging the casing. Now the cover barely stays on. For the price, I expected something much more user-friendly. This isn’t a reliable tracker, it’s a chore.
