Yes it does count steps while walking in place just tested it out as I wear mine everyday.

Sorry for the long delay! Yes, it does count steps while walking in place. As I have had more time to play with it know this as well: It's a little more complicated than I need it to be but maybe some people like that. The instructions are fairly useless so be forewarned. Good luck!

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.

No it does not but make sure that you increase the sensitivity to it's highest I have found it works better that way and I does not count steps while you are per say typing on the computer or taking a shower.

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.

When you wear it on your shoe, it recognizes the circular movement, I guess. If you cycle/walk/run for over 10 minutes in a row it counts this as a workout, if not it just counts steps.

This unit does not count steps in the car or on a bike. I just keep it in my pocket and only when I walk, jog or run does it register steps. Works very well.Bruce

no I'm retired and I just want to keep walking at least 10000 steps a day it just counts the steps I had one before that lasted about 7 years even after I put it in the washer a few times and dropped it several times it upheld it all I was lost when it finally quit on me now I have the same exact one and very happy with it. It only counts steps

Yes and No. It will track your distance for the day and tell you what the number of steps equate to in miles. Online it will show a breakdown of how much time was sitting, walking slowly-moderately and/or running. If you make note of your number of steps prior to your run and immediately afterwards, you can figure out your distance by googling the equation.

It does count your steps accurately. As long as you are in a walking motion, it will count it. Anything over 10 minutes of continuous walking counts as aerobic. We love ours and would recommend purchasing. Have never had a more reliable pedometer.

I usually power walk anyway, with jogging added in. And it counts my steps from the time I put it on in the morning until I take it off, even after doing my walks.

I do not believe so; it is very basic and easy to use. Just walk and it counts the steps. Hope this information helps you make a decision.

You have to turn it on each morning, but it will count the total daily steps. Make sure you do not accidentally hit the watch on anything as it will change/stop the settings depending on which button is pressed.

I just tried it on my elliptical. To my surprise, it worked! I counted 27 revolutions with my right foot, and the Fitbit counted 54 steps, which I guess would be correct.

The FitBit Flex does not show the number of steps. You would have to look on the dashboard or on your mobile app for exact steps.

No. It just monitors actual steps you take. Swimming for example would not be monitored either.

i think it is referring to steps that are counted without actually taking steps, movement can create this, it also didn't count steps that i took, I don't like this product and don't even use it anymore. Hope I helped you.:)

Yes, you can just read how many steps/miles on the Fitbit. You will need to tap/press the face of the Fitbit.
