Does the Pedometer Automatically resets daily to accurately track steps? or do we need to manually push stop/start/reset?

You have to reset daily, although I have not messed with it to see if there is a setting that could be changed to make it reset daily.

Mine does count steps.. isn't that what a pedometer does. ? Haha or at least I assumed that was my steps it's counting ! lol.. I basically needed the watch for the heart rate monitor. Really all I can comment on is how accurate and good it is for that! :)

It isn't sophisticated. All it's measuring is your arm movement (or wherever you're wearing your Fitbit). You could walk or jog holding your arm still and it will think you aren't moving. Or you can shake your arm up and down and it will count it as steps. I did try and count my steps and check it for accuracy. For example, I was close to 6000 steps, then counted another 400. It came out pretty close to 6400, give or take 10 or 12. The trouble is, I'm not that great at walking and counting at the same time! (That's why I need something that does the counting.)

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.

No, you do not have to wear it everyday. It resets at midnight for the number of steps. I guess to keep a current log of your weekly progress, then everyday would be necessary. Use it to fit your needs.

I have had issues with the calorie counter not resetting, but everything else does. There is a clock that you can set to your timezone when you set the fitbit up on your computer

It does track while you're sleeping that I've noticed. At midnight it resets automatically and when I get up there's a calorie count. It's different every day I look. I haven't looked at the calorie count when I'm sitting down so I'm not sure if it does. I've been focusing on my steps for the day. Ill have to check it out. I hope this helps.

It automatically resets to zero each day but, to reset to zero for all day, After reading the instruction again, zeroing the unit out is not addressed. I believe you have to remove batteries and redo the entire process. I've never done it since I like tracking my progress on a weekly basis

No. It does reset every day to zero though and stores a week of daily steps. I haven't gone through my first battery yet so don't know how long it will last.

Hello Sara, Sorry for the late response; The answer to your question is yes. You can reset the steps/distance as many times as you want during the course of the day. There is a cumulative total that gets saved. So if you record your steps before you reset them, then you can keep a history of the sets during the day. By the time the next day rolls around, the memory only save the cumulative total for that day, not the individual sets. Just press the bottom most button to clear and reset each count, which btw does not affect the total count for the day. Cheers, -Ben

Yes...and no. It counts Kcals for steps (running or walking) taken...so if you are on...say a rowing machine, the count will be off.

I sent mine back as I could not reset it. Also because it would not accurately count my steps. Sorry.

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 leave the pedometer on, it will track calories burned based on steps walked

This one does distance, steps taken and calories. I always question how accurate the calories are on these little pedometers but then I question that on any exercise machines also. Let's face it, if we eat too much we know it.

It does work without a connecting device. Every day you can see your steps, calories burned, etc. But I don't think you can track it more than one day only on the device as it resets every midnight. I was just looking into the apps and you might need a mac for the app. I suggest you contact Striiv cares (just google them) and talk to them. I am unsure of all the logistics but I do know that they are very responsive to questions. Good luck.
