PINGKO Outdoor Multi-Function Portable Sport Pedometer Step/Distance/Calories/Counter

realy like this pedodermoter
Realy like this pedometer. Simple ,basic, easy to use and at a good price. like anything a very short learning curve. i went the nearest school with a track and set it for the best accuracy.

How to set stride!! Wear at Waist straight up and down! Totally readable for vision impaired 🙂
I will come back in a few weeks with a more formal review, but wanted to note, there are NO setting stride instructions in the little paper insert. Lay out a tape measure to 6=8 feet and lock it. with heel at start of tape walk about 10 Normal steps. divide number of steps by total feet at toe. My step length is 22″. then program that in. To count steps correctly it needs to be at your waist straight up and down. Not shirt pocket, not ankle etc. I LOVE how easy it is to read. I won’t count shuffling around your desk. At 10 steps it starts, adds those 10 and goes on.

Nice and useful.
To start, I was looking for a pedometer that did not require a smartphone app, that was not a watch, and didn’t break the bank, particularly if it fell off my jeans and I didn’t see it to retrieve it.The features of pedometer, calorie counter, distance walked (miles or km), and time clock are all very helpful and seem to do well. I compared it against a fitness wrist watch, (Fitbit of some sort I had borrowed) and it seems to be more accurate than the Fitbit. The Fitbit depends on arm motions to count steps, which means that the Fitbit may not count when your arms are stable pushing a cart/stroller, but the Fitbit may also count in error when you are standing relatively in one position (such as bagging groceries and primarily rotating at the waist, or working at an office table collating papers).I came to rely on the accuracy of my pedometer moreso than the Fitbit watch and the pedometer seemed to count my steps well. I came to appreciate the time clock feature as I normally don’t wear a watch at work (I find myself working in a lot of water, sometimes with chemicals/cleaners/dirt). I was also able to earn steps for short walks that the Fitbit didn’t always measure, like returning items close by to proper shelves.I did have a couple of issues with the pedometer resetting unexpectedly when I leaned against counters (moving to scan or bag groceries, for instance). I was sad that I lost the steps but I made some adjustments to how I wore it (waistband position) and checked on it more frequently to keep closer track of steps walked (in case it reset) and that seemed to help.About 3 weeks into using it I tried to tilt it up on my waistband to read it, as I had done many times before, and ended up snapping the clip and losing a couple of spring-type pieces that helped it clip (probably – I was in a dark environment at the time and relied on streetlights to find what parts I could). That was disappointing but ultimately my fault / mishap.I thought perhaps I would get an “upgrade” to a pedometer with cover, as I have seen them before. However, all the pedometers with covers I’ve found so far either didn’t have the features of the Pingko (steps taken, calories burned, distance covered, time clock, which I had begun to appreciate); and/or weren’t in my budget, and/or didn’t have a lot of favorable reviews. So, I ended up buying a second Pingko pedometer, and we’ll see how long the second one lasts before it has a permanent mishap.P.S. The Pingko had fallen off my waistband a few times prior, usually onto a hard concrete floor (from a height of about 33 inches) — and made it just fine (still working). It was simply the way I tilted it that night, I think, that broke the clip.In conclusion – I am impressed with the features, the price point, the seeming accuracy, and — gosh darn it absolutely — the fact that I do not need a mobile app or a smartphone to use this. Whoo hoo! So I am buying another for now and then we’ll reevaluate when needed.

It gets the job done.
The product does meet its expectations. It took me awhile to set it up because to me the directions did not give enough info. I got the job done and it is working great.

Ho avuto diversi contapassi, soprattutto i Geonaute Decatlon. Adesso però producono solo quelli a funzionamento con accelerometro. Che sono molto imprecisi. Nel senso che nella continuità del movimento sono OK, ma quando ci si ferma e poi si ricomincia a camminare perdono un certa quantità di passi che alla fine della giornata diventa significativa, 10-20%.Ho trovato questo contapassi semplice nel funzionamento e molto preciso. Anche le plastiche e la clip sono di buona qualità.Va solo tenuto in modo corretto. Non nella tasca del giubbotto o in altri posti perché il bilanciere interno che è alla base del funzionamento (come un pendolo) non non riuscirebbe a oscillare.Deve essere tenuto sulla vita con l’apposita clip vicino a un fianco così l’oscillazione.viene facilitata.Unico piccolo neo è leggermente rumoroso: si sente un po’ il tic tac del bilanciere quando si cammina.Per il resto è perfetto e anche il prezzo è ottimo.

No pesa, es muy comodo y aunque esta la hora, me gustaria que diera o marcara el tiempo del ejercicio
