I purchased this pedometer based on another person’s review which raved about its durability. It worked great the first day until I leaned over to pick something off the floor at my office. The pedometer popped off my waistband, fell about 2 feet to a carpeted floor, and stopped calculating completely. Needless to say, I was disappointed that the pedometer didn’t even make it through the first 24 hours and sent it back. I understand that pedometers should be “motion sensitive”, but given the punishing that runners and hikers put them through, they should certainly be able to survive the occasional drop — especially to a carpeted floor. I do not recommend this product.

Excellent product. I’ve dropped it. Nothing happens. It is accurate. Easy to use.

Some pros: Clip is very secure. Very comfortable — don’t feel it at all. Fun to use
Cons: The buttons get accidentally pushed, so I end up reseting it inadvertently. Worse, if the “mode” key is held down (which I also did inadvertently), it changes to metric. I never would have figured out how to change it back to miles if I hadn’t thankfully kept the instructions. Something as simple as a pedometer shouldn’t need instructions.

After trying a dozen pedometers, I discovered the rugged, well designed Timex 5E021.
The display is large enough to read easily, and the construction is sturdy. The belt clip never slips off. It clips securely to a belt or even the elastic band of a pair of athletic shorts.
Every other pedometer I tried had serious design flaws. Battery doors fell off, belt clips broke, and buttons were positioned so it was easy to accidently reset the units.
Many of the other pedometers I tried were overly sensitive to belt position. If the pedometer was too far to the front or back of my waist, the step-count and distance would be off by as much as a third.
By contrast, the Timex is easy to position (right over the hip bone) and is always accurate.
The reset button is positioned so it will not reset accidently.
