DMC-03 Multi-Function Pedometer

I just wanted a cheap pedometer so I bought this one not expecting much. It gets the job done. You have to put it at the right level though or it wont count accurate. I found out I had to attach it to my pocket or put it in my pocket so it would be at the space where my leg meets my hip. When i put it on my waistband it counted too many steps. Just do a couple test runs by walking down the hallway and count your steps to make sure its accurate.

I should've read the reviews first! If I could leave zero stars then I would. This pedometer is not accurate at all. I've worn it for an hour or two and it registered 200 steps although I was moving for the entire time and know that I walked way more than that. The case is also extremely difficult to open but then it falls open while you are wearing it. Then, when I tried to return it since it doesn't work properly, I was told they don't take returns. I liked this product because it was an American company but the instructions were written by someone who doesn't speak English, I'm sure.

For the price, I can't say much. It fell off my waist at one point and broke, but I was able to snap the piece back on and it still works. So, it's pretty durable for being relatively cheap. I bought it because my school was doing a 10,000 step challenge, and I didn't want to pay a lot of money for a pedometer for 12 weeks. Overall, I would recommend it if you're just using it for a certain period of time or just for fun.

I've been using one of these DMC-03 pedometers since 05/18/08, which speaks to its dependability. Once a week, I record my steps, press the Clear button to reset it, and I'm good for another week. I keep a spreadsheet that does all the totaling and converting for me, so one number does the trick. The reason I give it a five-star rating is because it does one job so simply and dependably, and at such a modest price. It is featherweight, unobtrusive (mine is black, and I can wear to a black tie dinner without attracting attention), and airport friendly. It has been with me every step of the way hiking around the Sonoran Desert, the Tetons and Rockies and Adirondacks, and never missed beat. I've probably had five or six pedometers in the past. Some have been really quite expensive. Even with tethers, they somehow get lost. They break. They are bulky and cumbersome. This little DMC-03 pedometer is perfect for my needs. It is a simple little beauty. P.S. I originally bought three because they were so inexpensive and I'd seen a complaint about their construction. Two and a half years later, I'm still with my first -- so much for the complaint. The other two are in unused in a drawer. A few days ago, I purchased two more (red and green) and had them sent to a friend who is in physical rehab. I thought the reinforcement they provide might be helpful.

I did not find this counts your steps but rather how far in miles you have walked. For me, I wanted something that could count how many steps I have gone, so that I could try and make the 10,000 steps per day that Dr. Oz, suggest. I thought it would the type of item, that would count how many steps I have walked at work, at lunch, then cut off inbetween use, but continue after cutting back on. Instead it goes off, then starts over everytime, and for me, this is not what I purchased the item for.

This attractive and easy to use pedometer was yet another lesson about not buying things that seem too good to be true. It was an exceptionally inexpensive device that worked fine for at least a week then it just stopped working. However, that was about the same amount of time the far more expensive one I purchased lasted until it fell off...

the pedometer was nice in the beginning but now it just is rediculous the thing clicks all the time & registers steps that was not taken. waste of money

This has suited my needs perfectly. I was looking for something that my son could use without spending an arm and a leg. This pedometer works fine and is nice and simple. I've had it for about a month now and he uses it nonstop. No problems so far. If you're looking for an inexpensive basic pedometer, this is a good buy.
