This pedometer comes complete with a lithium battery installed; there's nothing else to buy. The battery should last at least 5 years.
- The only "control" is the reset button. Press this and the counter goes to zero; which is what I do every morning.
- It counts every step you walk or jog, from 1 to 99999, then starts over. That's enough capacity for about 50 miles!
- The built-in clip holds the unit tightly to a belt or waistband. The attached 6" leash has two additional clips to attach to your clothing. These are to protect the unit from hitting the floor in case it slips off your belt. I wear the pedometer every day and it's stayed on my belt.
- The instructions explain where to position it on your waist, to get the best accuracy. I've found it to register too low occasionally by up to 4%. I.e., check the reading, walk 100 steps and check the reading again - and it sometimes registers as low as 96 steps. Many times though, it's dead on. However, for me, it's about 90% accurate going up and down stairs. It may be different for you, depending on the jolt of your steps and other factors.
- The unit only registers steps when it's vertical; i.e., with the cover closed. This is good, because the cover protects the display from damage. To see your "progress", unsnap the cover and look down at the count. The liquid crystal display digits are 1/2" high, so they are easy to read. There is no light for nighttime use, but that would quickly drain the battery. It has an internal pendulum that senses the motion of stepping or jogging.
- Maybe it's only me, but this thing provides an incentive to walk more, by letting me know how many steps I've taken.
- Accusplit provides a "5-year no proof-of-purchase warranty". How they would know it's been more than 5 years is a mystery without needing a receipt, and there's no serial number or manufacture date on the unit. In any case, if it needs repair, instructions on the unit itself tell you where to send it, and say to include your return address and phone number (no money). Can't beat that!
- To calculate the distance you've walked, multiply the steps taken times your average stride. E.g., my stride is 33" when walking briskly outside, so for every 1000 steps, that's just over 1/2 mile. 10,000 steps (times 33") is just over 5 miles. 99,999 steps, the counter's capacity, would equate to just over 50 miles, equivalent to 2 olympic marathons.This pedometer works well, is simple to use, reasonably accurate, unobtrusive, has a terrific warranty, and inspires me to walk more. At the price, it's also a bargain.
