Probably works. Works counting steps anyhow.
Tried to set up the pedometer and it's far more complicated than a mere mortal can figure out. It's so complicated that I can't keep track of where I am in the setup process long enough for it to keep it's current setting to know what the next step is I have to take. It keeps going back to ground zero after a mere 5 seconds or so. You have to have a photographic memory to avoid starting all over again in the sequence of setup steps. It took me about 45 minutes to set up the basic parameters.<br /><br />I haven't the faintest idea what the strap that goes in the strap holder is for because it's way to small to put around your neck and it's a joke that the instructions suggest you do that. If I drape it around my arm it doesn't register anything when I move around. If I put it in my pocket it increases the step count on average of 2 steps for every step I take. My brain was exhausted by the time I got to the part that supposed to tell you things like activity time, checking your ongoing achievements, and using the memory function, and view stored data in memory mode.<br /><br />I took it jogging with me in my front left pocket and took over 7,000 steps in 4 miles. I registered just over 2,800 steps. Oddly, when I trudged downstairs after the jog, it registered one step per step down. So if I did all my exercise climbing steps maybe it would work. But for my exercise I jog 4 miles per day, and so it just doesn't work for what I do. 2/5/16 It seems to count steps okay now. That's all I really need it for. The rest is too complicated for the satisfaction it brings to come to grips with it. But my 4 mile jog is the same every day except for my speed. The step count is an indication of my speed: the longer my stride, the faster I jog and the fewer strides I take.
