Does it count strides while running?

Yes it counts strides, and calculates strides per minute and so on. When you upload to Tomtom My Sports and Map My Fitness you can see a variety of graphs, diagrams, maps and data. Don't worry, it's all there!! :)

Yes. Although, they only seem to be visible in the TomTom MySports app. When I upload my activities to Strava it doesn't show stride rate, which is odd since Strava does have support for it.

Yes, you can track your distance, pace, BPM while running! I'm really happy with mine.

For each run, it does calculate calories burned. But you cannot keep a running count of the calories.

It does count calories burned. It also is a workout/run timer, counts steps taken and seems to be fairly accurate so long as you set it up correctly.

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.

It only tracks arm movements. You should be using your arms for correct form on a treadmill.

Yes, It will track active movement, like fast walking or jogging, from just slow walking. Slow walking does not register as active movement but will still track steps. You can set what your own active movement goal! FYI: Don't listen to the other post about arm movement. That is incorrect. It does not register your arm movement as steps, and if you keep your arms still it WILL still track steps. I've had mine since last Christmas, love it.

It can be used for walking and there is even a run/walk interval setting. It does not count steps but it tracks distance, including elevation.

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

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.

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.

I believe that it depends on how slow you walk. While volunteering in a classroom, I slowly walked around the student desks and noticed that it didn't register all my steps. I regret I can't be more specific. This was my only negative with the pedometer (other than it doesn't wash well!)

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.

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!

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.

It will count swimming and yoga as steps every stroke or movement your arm does. But I don't know if it counts it as walking or jogging for the intensity.

The sensor monitors your running cadence and stride length, but not your steps. The v800 watch counts the steps.
