PE771 Walking 3D Pedometer with Clip and Strap | 7 Day Memory, Accurate Step Counter, Walking Distance Miles/Km, Calorie Counter, Target Goal, Active Time

I bought this a few months back because I didn't want to spend a fortune on a pedometer, especially since reviews on them (even the expensive ones) tend to be all over the map. I ordered the black one and was notified after placing the order that it was on backorder and would take additional time to process. I did have the option to get another color but decided to wait on my original order. It took about 2 weeks to arrive but I do give credit to the company for communicating the delay and offering options.Once the product arrived, I managed to get it programmed without much trouble. The instructions are fairly clear but be aware that to get an accurate reading on actual steps, you may have to play around with the settings a bit. I think I fiddled around with it for about 20 minutes before I got to accurately record my steps - the measurements provided in the instructions are more of a guideline apparently. Once its set up though, it works just fine and is be quite accurate. If you don't want to read the instructions or you lose them, I think there may be a set up video on the company website.The belt clip works well but I have dropped the pedometer a few times and despite that it still works like a charm. I like the history for each day, the total weekly steps and the fact that you can completely reset it at any time. If you take it in the car, its important to note that the vibrations from the car are recorded as steps so you will need to take that into account and subtract it from your daily total.There are several negative reviews and I don't discount those - the product seems to be hit or miss but luckily I got a good one. Its not the most advanced piece of equipment by any stretch but for what I wanted it for, it works fine. I like that the unit shuts off when you are still to reserve the battery then it pops back on after you complete 10 steps and records them. It is quite accurate (again after you get the set up accurate with your steps). Its also quite small and sleek, which was a requirement for me - I didn't want some giant brick to lug around. For me, it was worth the money and I have been using it daily for about 5 months and the battery is still going strong. If you are looking for a state of the art pedometer this isn't it but if you just want a simple pedometer, this may just fit the bill.

Every year at work we engage in a friendly competition between units to wear a pedometer for a month to see who can get the highest number of average daily steps. So over the years I've purchased a variety of pedometers, and have come to know a few important features to have in a pedometer. To avoid the risk of an accidental reset, the pedometer needs a cover. I broke my own rule and bought this one anyway. To avoid the risk of losing the pedometer, it will need a leash. I've lost two without one, dropped and broke a really nice one, and flushed one down the toilet. Clips are not that stable. You'll need a tether. That is the one good thing this pedometer has.I chose the Pedusa because of the good reviews, and claims of its sensitivity. What I was hoping for was a pedometer that would register the movement from my bike rides, which I've yet to find a pedometer that comes close to tracking the movement from peddling. The Pedusa was pretty disappointing in that area. It also failed the reset on its own test.I have an Omron pocket pedometer that I've used for two years and have found it to be fairly accurate, and have come to appreciate the benefits of a pocket pedometer over a clip-on. Amazingly enough, the Omron has lasted for over two years of daily use on the same battery.Right now, for the competition, I am wearing both pedometers to make sure I have a back up. So far the Pedusa has consistently registered lower numbers, some days by better than a thousand steps. The other problem are the accidental resets. This is frustrating even when not competing.If you are not picky about accuracy, and can deal with the occasional reset; for the money, this is an ok pedometer. Not great, but ok. Don't waste your money on the clip-on accessory. It is clunky, and inhibits the accuracy.UPDATE:After using this pedometer for about two months, I'm beginning to warm up to it. I'm not having the reset problems as before, mainly as I make sure not to have anything else in my pocket. The step count has been tracking closer to the Omron, so that isn't as much of an issue as it was. I find it seems to work better in a back pocket or if I have a cargo type pocket. So I'm going to give it a higher rating.

It just died today (9/3/23) and I bought it in 7/31/23. Changed out the battery and it still wouldn’t work correctly anymore.

I've tested this for two days now, while actually counting steps. It's counting too many, or none at all. BTW this is Not my first pedometer, so I know that the rattle of a vehicle could significantly alter the reading. I'd rather go back to using the app on my phone, at least that has on body detection so it knows the difference.I'm going to be sending this back.
