I'm looking for a pedometer to help track my time and distance for a 5k. Does this one do that?

Wendy the pedometer does track steps miles calories and minutes in addition to having a normal clock but does not have a stopwatch to give precise time.

Yes - distance is calculated based on your individual average stride, and total minutes of activity is recorded and tracked.

This will do it for you. If you reset it just before you start your run you will get steps, time and distance. I think it's a greatlittle pedometer.

Yes. This pedometer has settings for height, weight, and also your step stride length. It can track your activity all day to give you results for the entire day. It also has a memory function to keep past re-outs.

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

Yes, because it measures the number of steps you take. If you have accurately entered the length of your stride then the pedometer will faithfully and accurately calculate your distance regardless of how long it took you.

It will count it as steps but it also picks up rigorous activities. You will have to sync it with your computer in order to view your stats. I love mine! I have it synced with myfitnesspal app. It keeps track of steps, calories burned, water in take, calorie intake, sleep, and you can set timers to remind you to move. It really is a great product. Only thing I don't like is that the hot pink doesn't stay hot pink long. I've had mine 2 weeks and already buying a black band because the pink looks dirty and I can't get it cleaned.

I'm guessing you mean the pedometer? I think it works as well as pedometers in general work. I've never owned a pedometer that was 100% accurate. I bought the watch for my dad so I haven't used it myself. He hasn't complained that it doesn't work but he feels like I do, not many pedometers are accurate.

When I bought this device I mistakenly assumed it was a gps device. It is more of a glorified pedometer, so I would say it probably does not track bicycling.

I am very sorry to sound negative but this is a rubbish piece of kit. It is probably malfunctioning. It is not accurate, is badly made and I threw mine away. Treat yourself to a Tom Tom Sportwatch (multi sport model excellent). Or Boots sell two very good pedometers. Trev

You can certainly time the workout, but It only measures steps. For instance, when I'm on the recumbent bike...it is not as accurate as jogging or elliptical.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers

Yes, it does. You may use the Virtual Partner to set a specific pace in order to compare your current pace versus your target pace.Keep in mind that this unit is not produced anymore by Garmin but when I looked up the newer models around the same price range, I noticed the newer ones do not have alerts (pace, heart rate, etc).

There is no way to calibrate this pedometer. If your looking for a reliable, and calibrated pedometer, I'm afraid this one will not work for you.

It is a watch so it does have a clock that keeps track of the time of day on a continuous basis. However it does not have a stopwatch which keeps track of running time like for a long race or a marathon. When you use it on Heart rate monitor mode it does keep track of the elapsed time. However this does not work out very well as a chronometer as it is specifically keeping track of heart rates and calories burned over this time. It is supposed to be water resistant to 30M but I had vapor in it for a couple of weeks whichmade it hard to read. It did dry up and now is fine.

I don't think so. I have a Garmin watch that tracks miles when I run. I bought this as a heart rate monitor. It works pretty good but you do have to hold your finger over the face of the watch for approx 5 seconds.

Hello. Sure it can definitely track your golf course activities. I would suggest that you put it on Walk and once you upload the data onto the run.goyourlife.com website with the sync tool you can see distance walked, calories burned, elevation, and even pace. The watch itself will also tell you those stats when you set up the different stats on a page within the watch settings. Each page you create can show you up to three different stats with the ability to make up to 4 separate pages with different combination of stats. I hope this answers your question.~Team PAPAGO!

Not as accurate as a gps type pedometer would be, because I imagine hiking involves strides that are not of a consistent length (like when you're climbing over logs.) So it might not be super accurate for distance. I have worn it hiking, and it does provide some useful info. If you are mostly on easy trails, not too much climbing and scrambling, I think it would be fine. Oh and I wear mine daily and it shows no signs of breaking. I lost my first one, but I had it for over a year. Second one for many months now. Still love it.

No. Accelerometer senses motion but appears calibrated for running and walking. When I row it says I run 5 miles in slightly over the 15 min span (ie. I run a three min mile!). Look out Mr. Bolt!!
