Pedometer Watch Senior Friendly: Waterproof Fitness Tracker

5 Stars – Exactly What I Needed!
I picked up this digital fitness watch from Rite Aid a couple weeks ago, and I’m honestly impressed. It was affordable, easy to set up, and it does everything I need—tracks my steps, heart rate, calories burned, and even sleep. The display is clear and responsive, and the battery life lasts several days on a single charge. I love checking my progress throughout the day—it really helps keep me motivated. Definitely didn’t expect to find such a solid fitness tracker at a pharmacy, but I’m glad I did. Highly recommend!

It’s a good buy
I really like this watch. Super easy to wear, beautiful and classic looking. Not flashy at all. Only one little thing, I don’t think the step calculations are all correct , but in a good way I guess if you want to feel like you’ve walked A LOT. I definitely will get it to my friends and family. It’s a simple watch, no gadget but can be more advanced if you want to pair with the phone and device.

Used for pool walking
I got this watch so I could get an idea of how much I’m walking in the pool. I go to my local YMCA that has a lazy river where they do “propulsion walking” with or against the current. As best as I can figure, the watch under counts somewhat but that’s OK with me for now. While I do have a smart phone, I wanted something that I didn’t have to set-up with the phone. This works fine without. I didn’t care for the band as it was catching on my sleeves a lot so I got some replacement stretch bands that I like. 20mm for this watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DDC1XVFY

First day was great, but then …
I had high hopes for this pedometer watch based on reviews. On the first day of use, it counted my steps fairly accurately on a long walk outdoors. I compared the total to the steps counted on a separate pedometer app on my smartphone — and they were only off by about 50 steps. So I thought this watch would be a keeper.However, on the second day, the steps began being counted erratically. (The steps did reset at zero after midnight, which was good.) While walking indoors and being sure to move my arm, the steps were not counted at all. For a 2-hour period where I definitely took steps and moved my arm, the step count remained stuck at 30. I even swung my arm wildly, but it never moved past 30.In the morning, I walked inside the house being sure to swing my arm and take a long stride. Then the steps started being counted again. But not always. It seems that sometimes there is a long delay (lag time) between when steps are actually taken and when they show up on the watch. Also, if you walk too slowly, it doesn’t register the steps.This watch had so much potential. Not having to use an app was great and exactly met my needs. I loved it on the first day. But the second day was very disappointing and troubling. I will see how it goes over the next couple of days before deciding whether to return it.The price was good, the display was nice and bright with large readable numbers, the strap isn’t stiff like the Fitbit strap, it was easy to charge and fairly simple to set up, and the charge didn’t drain quickly.Besides the erratic step counter, some other negatives are the strap is really long — about 2 inches too long for me. I bought the gray based on the photos, but it’s a very light gray, almost white. If I had known that, I would’ve bought the black. While I do like the softness and flexibility of the strap compared to the Fitbit strap, I don’t expect it will last very long.With a few improvements, this could be a great watch at a great price. However, based on my first couple days of use, I think it falls short.
