 Accusplit Pedometer is greatJun 27, 2008
Got this for the wife, very easy to use and very accurate. Now she can keep track of her daily walks and totals for the week.
Accusplit AH190M28May 29, 2008
I purchased this item to help me do 10000 steps per day. It is very easy to use and set up. If you follow the instructions, then you will have no trouble. I found it very easy to set up and put on my belt. I also found out I did not even come close to the 10000 steps per day. This is a very nice unit and I have shown it to my friends and they are going to purchase this same unit. Great product and lets hope I can get to the 10000 steps per day. The unit starts new each day, so all you have to do is walk.
Very accurate most of the timeFeb 19, 2008
I've found this quite useful. It keeps track of data for seven days and displays step count, calories, and distance (based you stride length that you enter). It is important to set the time of day, because it resets the counters at 3:20AM.
The step count is very accurate as long as the device is level. It needs to be close to level horizontally and vertically. If not, it will undercount your steps. This is not a big problem, but on a couple of occasions, when I clipped it onto the waistband of sweat pants, it wasn't level enough to count accurately.
It is very compact and unobtrusive. You can easily forget that it's there.

5 Stars for Accuracy, 3 for UseabilityJul 29, 2007
I purchased the Accusplit AH190M28 pedometer several months ago because I was looking for an accurate pedometer. I wear it everywhere, almost every day. Previously, I used a pedometer that I received as an incentive to join a walking program, and it added 10-15 steps when it was jiggled. The Accusplit pedometer, is in contrast, extremely accurate. I have taken the time to calibrate it, and every so often, I check its accuracy when I walk on measured surfaces (track and field). I feel confident that the numbers the pedometer shows me at the end of the day what I've walked.
This paticular model offers many bells and whistles as it measures distance, calories burned, steps, rate of speed, and offers 7-day memory and timer. I find myself, however, just using the number of steps and the 7-day memory, but it's nice to see the other numbers.
While the accuracy of the product is outstanding and 5-star, its useability hovers at 3-stars. As people have noted, the pedometer's directions are poorly written at best (you can view them in advance at the Accusplit website), and the programming of the device is not very intuitive. It's not overly confusing to calibrate the pedometer or set up its clock, it's just that it is not as user-friendly as it could be. For intstance, I was looking forward to using the timer feature, but found it to be one of the most cumbersome features to use, which is odd because Accusplit also manufactures terrific timers. To use the timer one must open the pedometer's front panel, forward to the timer, and hit the right button. I expected just one button on the front cover to start and stop the timer It would have also been useful if the device came with an illuminated backlight.
I strongly recommend using the leash in addition to the metal clip. Even though the metal clip is stronger than many other pedometer clips (the metal is strong and doesn't crack like the cheaper plastic clips), it does slip off the waistband. The leash has saved my pedometer on many more than one occasion.
One thing to note is that I am able to wear the pedometer on a daily basis because I wear waistband clothes. A friend of mine who wears only dresses could not find a place to clip the pedometer. There are other pedometers that can be clipped to underwear or placed in purses. I am not sure if that is possible with this one (I've never tried it).
If you're looking for an extremely accurate pedometer (and don't mind taking the time to figure out the directions--again they are not impossible, just unclear), then this is an excellent choice.

 Impossible to read or useJun 26, 2007
We tried for weeks to get this product to work, using a microscope to read the tiny letters and reading the instructions written in tortured English. It does not work, the printing on it cannot be read by human eyes, and no wonder the sellers refuse to accept them in return.
