Ozeri 4x3sport Pocket 3D Pedometer and Activity Tracker with Tri-Axis Technology & 30 Day Memory

I have never written a product review before, so here goes. I have been using my Ozeri 3D pedometer for a week now - I kept using my 'old' Omron pedometer as well for five days so I could test the accuracy of the Ozeri, and it's spot on. I am really pleased with my new pedometer, it is great that it keeps your data for 30 day - not many do that - and also wonderful that it works in miles rather than kilometers! The little instruction booklet was easy to read and setting up my pedometer was simple and straightforward - and I am not a 'techno geek' by any means! Some others have said that the instruction booklet was too small, well in all honesty it is small, but hey we have to think about the rainforests and the environment too you know! I use glasses for working my computer and reading and I could read the instructions just fine using them.Working out my stride length was simple following the details the instruction book gives you to follow - and you should do this first before you start to set up your pedometer, you also need to know your weight in lbs.The pedometer records the number of steps you take, the number of miles you 'walked', and how many kcals you used. It also keeps an accumulative number of steps you take over the 30 day cycle. You can also set up your 'target number of daily steps' and you can see the little marker over to the left hand side of the screen increasing as your step count goes up and when you reach that goal each day you the marker flashes, which is quite a nice little addition. I have just started myself on a new calorie controlled eating plan and also need to increase my physical activity - so this pedometer is becoming my little best friend! I haven't used the little strap that they supply (they also give you a little screwdriver for when you have to change your battery!) have just put the pedometer into the little holder, which clips to your, pocket, belt, or whatever else you want to clip it to and I have found this quite sturdy and safe but of course you could very easily attach the little strap to be 'extra safe' if you wanted to. Another simple but useful added thing with this pedometer is that it 'goes to sleep' when it hasn't been used for a little while, which will help the battery to last longer. I am guessing that when the time comes to change the battery all the data I have input will be lost and I will have to put it in again (that's what happens on my Omron anyway) but hey if it could keep your data it would be a perfect little pedometer! - and it is quite small and unobtrusive when you wear it. So a big THANK YOU to the Ozeri team. If I remember, I will try to come back in a couple of months and update this review to let you all know how things are progressing.

difficult to set/use, not as good as hoped. would NOT recommend it.

Just what I needed but complicated !

I love it, it works perfectly and super accurate. It's easy to use and comfortable to wear.I would highly recommend this pedometer. it far more accurate than any phone app pedometer too!!! And it don't crash like the phone ones.

Instruction manual impossible to read as font size is extremely small resulting in an inability to set up the pedometer prior to use.Very disappointing and I have returned the item for a refund.

Works well. Recommended.

I ORDERED THIS POCKET PEDOMETER, SOLD BY OZERI, WHICH ARRIVED QUITE QUICKLY.THE PEDOMETER IS QUITE BASIC AND COMES IN QUITE BASIC PACKAGING, THAT DOES NOT REALLY HOLD THE PEDOMETER VERY SECURELY. WITH THIS TTPE OF PRODUCT I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BETTER AND SECURER PACKAGING.BACK TO THE PEDOMETER - IT'S RED AND COUNTS THE STEPS TAKEN. IT'S HANDY THAT IT'S POCKET SIZE AND DOES FIT IN MY POCKETS EASILY. IT DOESN'T HAVE VERY GOODINSTRUCTIONS, BUT LUCKILY IT'S PRETTYSTRAIGHTFORWARD. IT STORES YOUR STEPS FOR UP TO 30 DAYS. IT DOES WORK AND I USE IT MAINLY WHEN DOING EXERCISE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN TESTING IT WHEN ON THE SCHOOL RUN.OVERALL, IT HAS ITS POSITIVES, BUT I THINK IT'S A BIT TOO BASIC AND COULD DO WITH AN UPGRADE.I RECEIEVED THIS PRODUCT FREE FOR AN UNBIASED OPINION.

I've often wondered how many steps I do in an average day. I'm not the most energetic and I thought an easy way to find out would be one of these little gadgets - I'd tried a few years ago with a competitors model, but the results were so inaccurate I'd given up after a few days - so I was pleased to be offered this one for free and thought I'd give pedometers another try.I must say this Ozeri pedometer is much more accurate. To test I counted 100 steps as I walked and compared this with the readout; I did this more than 50 times. There was a discrepancy of about +3% - not too bad.With this in mind the important thing for me was to see if I was approaching the 10000 recommended steps per day or not. If one day I had walked about 5000 and the next day about 8000, then the second day was an obvious improvement regardless of the actual numbers - trying to regularly get the level up to 10000 is my current goal. You can set the goal wherever you like and an indicator will flash when you've reached it - encouraging!I found the initial setting up a little difficult. The manual was very small to read and the controls a little fiddly, but once set up nothing else needs to be done. Once set up the display has two parts - a clock at the bottom and the exercise details at the top.In use the larger button - MODE - toggles between STEP, MILE (or kilometre), CALORIES, TIME spent exercising, MEMORY (use the set and reset buttons to go back up to 30 days) and TOTALS (number of steps, miles, calories and exercise time altogether since start-up or reset). The count resets at midnight so you're always ready for the next day. You can wipe it completely - there's a hard reset button on the back (you need a paper-clip or similar for this).The battery is lithium and can be replaced - there's a little screwdriver provided to open the back cover. It automatically sleeps when not in use.The pedometer comes with a clip and lanyard. The lanyard has an extra clip to attach to clothes in case the main clip slips off - useful as I've found it a couple of times hanging by the strap after 'comfort stops'. It's small and light - weighing 40 grams including the clip and lanyard and only 26g without. Size is about 8.2x4x3 with the clip and 8x3.7x1.2cm without.Overall I found this pedometer easy to use and it provided an easy way to see relative exercise on the day, just clip it on my jeans in the morning and forget about it. I found I'm having to do more evening walks - it's got to be good for me!
