Unfortunately, it has not worked since the moment I received it. I set the time, date and my step length before going on my first run, but within 3 minutes the screen was blank, and the pedometer had completely reset. The same thing has happened every time I have tried to use it (I even changed the battery with no luck). The functionality appears to be great, although it has never worked for me. Could be a one off fault - just thought I should share. 1 star The following review received 4 helpful votes out of 5 total votes: Review Date: 2007-08-07 "Nice Looking - Too Bad It Doesn't Work" The description sounded perfect for my needs. Amazon delivered fast, as always. However, I an returning it. I carefully read and followed the instructions. However, none of the settings could be cleared and they would not reset properly. Even though I set my weight and stride, the pedometer repeatedly altered the settings to something 'close' to what I had put in. It would not clear the distance and calories values either. I would have attempted to change the battery (which shouldn't have been necessary anyway), but this too was more of a challenge than it should have been. This thing was pretty much useless. 1 star The following review received 4 helpful votes out of 4 total votes: Review Date: 2007-08-17 "works well, but panic alarm hasn't been useful" This product works fine, but I wish I hadn't gotten the panic alarm version. The alarm sticks out in an awkward way, and there's no way to remove it without sounding it off. It also seemed to fall off easily when I bumped it. 3 stars | |
