Question 1

Does it record up to 1,000,000 steps or is it limited to 99,999 steps?

Accepted Answer

I dont know.  Mine resets at midnight every day, as I'm more concerned about each day's total.  I know I'll never walk a million steps in a day!  :-)

Question 2

Does this pedometer have a hole so that I can attach a leash to it? I have already lost too many pedometers.

Accepted Answer

Mine came with a clip that you slide onto the pedometer.  You can then attach the clip to clothing.    It's just a slide on clip--not anything that clips really secure like a metal clip with tension.  Don't know how secure that would actually be. I'd be afraid the clip would slide off without my noticing it........ There is a small hole on the back that goes in the back but comes out the side--anything you insert has to be flexible to turn the corner and come out the side.  I was able to thread a twisty tie through it so you could stick a thin flexible wire through it and then attach a leashto the wire.  I don't know how secure it would be either but it is better than nothing.  I have a problem losing pedometers also, so like this one that is basic and reasonably cheap.  Good Luck!

Question 3

Will this work if I put it vertically in my sock while I play soccer?

Accepted Answer

The device is a tri-axis pedometer, which means that it has an algorithm that measures acceleration in a three-axis model (x, y, and z). It is actually an accelerometer that through an algorithm detects if a step has been taken; if changes are small within the sample, it will drop them. That is why my bet is that you will have no problem with the measurement in soccer where most of the time the player is actually running and when escaping from opponents the steps are firm and conclusive. The Omron works vertically and horizontally without a hitch. I am not so sure about how you are going to secure it to your sock, but that's another story. Hope this helps.

Question 4

Can you set your own stride length?  Does it measure distance in miles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set up your stride in inches or centimeter. I chose mine in inches, the distance walked will be displayed in miles.
