Does the pedometer still count steps if i don't swing my arms when walking? Does it count steps accurately if i gently/moderately swing my arms?

I tried everything, from re setting it, to trying both wrists, nothing I did worked. I could not get an accurate step count. As a step counter it's useless.

If your arm is not moving, the pedometer will not count steps when walking. If you are typing it is counting as steps. It will count steps but it also reset itself, so therefore your calculation is not accurate.

If you move your arms at all it seems to calculate for me. I believe if you don't move your arms at I don't think it would be accurate. Hope this helps.

It's pretty good for walking but it does not count steps. It will tell you how far you've gone, what your pace is per mile, what your average pace is, and your calories. I hope this helps!

I try to be a regular walker to reach my daily goal of at least 5000 to 10,000 steps a day...It does not come with a safety leash...I wear on my jean pocket and have even had in my pocket with no variance in recording my steps...I like this pedometer quite well...still on original battery.

It will not track if your arms are stationary. However, I have read where you can put it around your ankle to get around this. I haven't tried it yet, but others have. Good luck. It does not agree with the mileage on my treadmill, but I adjust it on the calibration at times.

I do not think it counts steps. It is basically a GPS on your wrist and does well on miles and speed. My wife loves it.

No it does not. You have to start the pedometer in order for it track your steps.

It does count calories, steps and miles walked. I'm still getting used to all functions. I'm going to do accuracy check with a friends monitor to see how close readouts are. Hope this helps. I don't regret the purchase.

It is not a GPS so it will not track steps/distance if your arms are still. Makes sense as it would record your movement in a car, etc... If you walk on a treadmill it is fairly accurate provided you calibrate and then move your arms in stride when working out. If you hold the side rails or hold your arms still it will not record accurately but overall it is fairly representative of your workout and active time.

Mine counts every step I take. Sometimes I walk slowly, sometimes a little faster, and then other times I speed up and get the walking done as fast as I can. Counts every step. I know because sometimes I count as I walk and stop to check to see if it's still counting.

No, it's a GPS watch, not a pedometer. You could theoretically leave it running all day, and it'll tell you how many miles you've walked. But it's not just a step-counter; it tracks distance covered and time/pace.

No. It does calculate total steps as well as aerobic steps. So if you walked up the stairs aerobically (more than 60 steps per minute I believe) it would count those steps separately.

No not at all. No need to enter your height or stride length either. You simply take it out of the box, set up your profile, clip it to yourself and start walking. It does count your steps fairly accurately.

No, this Pedometer is simple in that degree. Is very accurate in the amount of steps displayed as to the steps I take---I have counted the steps and then checked the Pedometer to see if the reading is the same and is pretty much right on.

It will not count your steps, like regular pedometers. You could use it to count laps while walking. You manually count the laps. I thought this counter had a timer as well as a lap counter. It doesn't. I misread the description. I since purchased another lap counter that has a timer. I use a regular pedometer to count my steps.

Nope. It counts your steps without a foot pod. In addition, it keeps track of your calories and reminds you to move when you've been idle for too long.
