Does it count steps?

I don't know. The people selling this watch, CompressionZ, can answer this. They are excellent with their customer service.

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.

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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

Yes, based on the number of steps and the step length that the user sets initially.

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.

As soon as I get up in the morning it starts counting my steps. I did 14,200 today but try to make the 10,000 every day with walking, followed by aerobics and whatever I do the rest of the day.

No, it does not count your steps. It counts your calories burned based on your heartrate while wearing the strap. (Great Tool). Your distance and mileage is based on GPS when you're not wearing the strap. I don't know if it is compatible with window phone...

No. There is app you can download on your smartphone to figure out how many steps you have taken each day.

Yes it does. Besides the number of steps it also provides the # of hours slept, how many miles you have walked and # of calories burnt.

Unfortunately, no. It only counts up. Maybe get 2 in different colors - one to count entries and the other for exits.

Yes there is a clock, and the day counter resets to zero each 24 hours but then if you press mode again it will show you the cumulative steps and how many days it has been since you started....it will also convert your steps into distance and on another mode screen it will tell you the time if your steps have been consistant as if you were exercising ie "exercise time". I got it for the claims of accuracy and the distance measure but am finding the other information it tracks helpful and fun.
