  Q&A - Pocket Pedometer with Activity Tracker

  What is Smart Sensor Technology?
  The GOsmart Pace Distance features an advanced acceleration sensor we call Smart Sensor technology. This sensor knows exactly when you are moving and filters out non-walking movements so you know your count is accurate.

  Does it matter where the Pocket Pedometer is placed or attached?
  Place the Pocket Pedometer in a horizontal or vertical position in any pocket or bag. Or you can attach it to a lanyard and wear it around your neck.

  What is the Activity Tracker - workout mode?
  Press the ACTION button for two seconds to start Workout Mode. The pedometer tracks distance, calories burned, and steps. During the workout, the display's workout indicator bar will scroll across the display. When finished with your workout, press the ACTION button again for two seconds.

  What is sleep mode?
  After five minutes with no button being pressed, the message "sleep" appears on the display. While the display is not showing any information, it is still accurately keeping track of your activity. Press any button to activate the display again.

Track your steps and more (distance, calories, fat grams burned) with this small and light pocket pedometer
This pocket pedometer is small and very light. It tracks more than just steps: It also track distance, calories, fat gram burned. It is easy to set up, just enter your height and weight, and it will automatically calculate your stride length. It also has activity tracker mode (in addition to the normal mode) where it tracks exercise time, steps, distance, and calories separately. It also have a clock and the screen will automatically go to sleep mode if it is not used for a cetrain time (though it will continue to count the steps).



Tracking the number steps (and distance) are quite accurate eventhough the screen display doesn't always update with every steps (sometime it updated after I walked 10 steps, some other time 17 steps, basically random, not sure what logic it uses, maybe it updates every couple of seconds)



I'm not sure how accurate the calories and fat grams burned information, as I don't know whether this pedometer will adjust the formula (on calculating calories and fat grams burned) depending on the speed of the steps. My recommendation is to use the calories and fat grams burned information as a guideline/directional only and use other equipment if you need an accurate measurement.



Once I find out how many steps I take in a day I'm curious to see what's the average statistics look like and I found these info/recommendation (instead of just aiming for 10,000 steps) on the web from Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke:



1. Under 5000 steps per-day may be used as a "sedentary lifestyle index"

2. 5,000-7,499 steps per-day is typical of daily activity excluding sports and might be considered "low active"

3. 7,500-9,999 likely includes some exercise or walking and might be considered "somewhat active"

4. 10,000 steps per-day indicates the point that should be used to classify individuals as "active"

5. Individuals who take more than 12,500 steps per-day are likely to be classified as "highly active"

Easy to use, a display that's easy to read
Last year I won a pedometer from my employer after filling out a health survey. I was quite pleased until I actually tried to use the thing. It was complicated to use, and after it said my two mile walk was actually three miles, I put the thing away. I haven't used it since. I was, however, hopeful that there was a pedometer on the market that was easy to use and accurate.



When you first open the package on this Omron pedometer and take a look at the directions, it may seem a bit daunting. But the instructions are fairly easy to follow. I had no problems setting the time, my weight, height, etc. The clip that comes with the unit, allowing a user to attach the pedometer to clothes, etc. (attached with a very short strap), is a bit cheap and I had a terrible time getting it to open. But that was the only problem I encountered.



Once all the settings were complete, I started testing. I put the unit in my pocket and walked the length of my house. Peeking at the pedometer, I was amazed at the number of steps it said I had taken. So, I repeated my journey, this time counting my steps so I could compare. It was definitely off. The directions explain how to manually override the automatic stride length setting (determined by your height) and how to accurately determine your stride length. Once I did that, I was in business.



Give yourself a day or so to play with this pedometer and get used to all that it can do. You can track your steps (and you get a yee-haw - person with raised hands - icon every 10,000 steps). The unit also has a distance display, calories burned, fat burned and time spent display. There's a memory function that stores seven days of activity. This pedometer is small enough to easily fit in your pocket and yet, the display screen is big enough to read without difficulty.



Quill says: This handy little pedometer is a great way to get your exercise program in shape.

More accurate than my legs...
This pedometer is small, easy to use, very simple to set up. Once it starts going it simply counts your steps daily from midnight-to-midnight, though there is also a mode where you can track a certain span -- if you want to walk a couple miles, say, or get an idea how far it is to the coffee shop. If you haven't got a pocket, no problem. There's a strap with a little clip on the end.



Personally I would prefer a device that can be reset and turned off and on, but this doesn't seem to be readily available. Having every jiggle in the car added to my step count may not actually matter, but it offends my sense of accuracy.



While walking, the step counter is uncannily accurate. If you've got this baby with you, properly aligned, and you're walking, it *is* counting your steps, no question.



As for the distance calculation... I stuck mine in my exercise pants pocket, left it at the auto-stride length, and headed out to my local walking route, which is marked out in half miles. For the first mile it was perfectly accurate. And then it started to drift, thinking more distance had passed than had.



What actually happened, of course, is that I got tired and my stride length shortened. I suspect the hills may have played a part.



In conclusion: if you want to count your steps in a day, with the intention to walk more, this will be a great way to track that. If you want to track how far you've walked, this may get you an accurate measurement, depending on how consistent your stride length is. Over hills or in places where your effort varies, it may lose accuracy. You might need a more sophisticated device.
