Eurohike Walking Pedometer

Advantages: Easy To Use, Lightweight
Disadvantages: Not Waterproof

...Most weekends I can usually be found trudging across some remote part of the Countryside. I have done this week in, week out for many years but it only recently struck me how many miles I must cover on an average walk. It is of course reasonably easily to estimate the distance covered with the aid of a good map but these days there are a whole range of little gadgets available, which measure the distance that you walked. These gadgets are colloquially referred to as Pedometers. I have recently purchased a Eurohike Walking Pedometer which have I used for the past couple of months. I purchased this from a local Outdoors Shop for £9.99. Prior to my purchase I had virtually no knowledge of Pedometers, other than being aware that they existed. There were actually two different choices available in the Shop that I went to. My decision... Read review

Advantages: Calculates calories burned off and miles walked, radio.
Disadvantages: Sometimes seems pointless to use.

...Whilst I have heard about pedometers, I have often wondered the point in them really, until I was given one for Christmas. I have not really had a burning desire to count the number of steps that I have walked prior to then, but if given a freebie, well you have to measure them out of curiosity don`t you?

Disadvantages: Clocks up steps you haven't done

...If you are determined to walk the recommended 10,000 steps a day then one of these little things is perfect to let you know how well, or not so well, you are doing. This is just a step counter and not a pedometer, a pedometer will count your miles, steps, calories, speed and all sorts of things for the more hard core of you out there, the step counter just counts steps! The step counter is really small, light, and discrete so you can wear it anytime and it won't bother you. It just clips on to your waistband, front or back and off you go! It doesn't need to be set up for your stride, it works on the pendulum inside with the movement of your legs, every time you take a step it moves the pendulum hence counting your step! The only downside to not having to input your stride is that it's not very accurate, if you are standing still... Read review
