Customer Reviews of Oregon Scientific PE316CA Pedometer with Calorie CounterCustomer Review: indestructible!!
I threw it out the window, ran over it with my car, beat it with a hammer, put it down the garbage grinder and it just will not cease to exist. Sure, it doesn't work anymore... but it never did! The thing would add a hundred steps if I just looked at it the wrong way. If I actually tried to use it while walking, it informed me that I had travelled to the moon and back while driving over to get a take-out pizza. Listen, a lot of reviewers seem to be excusing the shabbiness of the product by extolling its price. In that case, yeah, the rock I found on the beach doesn't keep very good time but you can't beat the price! I mean listen, people, if you are happy with a pedometer mostly because you paid little for it, you need to admit that you are just a cheapskate. If you are not interested in accuracy, why measure at all? And pedometers are notoriously inaccurate, despite what their manufacturers would have you believe. For one thing, you can blow me with that stride length malarkey. A person's stride length is in a state of flux and is especially not well represented by the stiff, self-conscious steps you take when you are trying to determine your stride length. Ever hear of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, baby doll? Well, I don't wanna get too technical on you. The whole pedometer concept is for the birds, you dig? If you cheapskates are serious about measuring distance, why don't you open that wallet that makes a sound like a creaking door in an old horror movie and bats fly out of it and once you have cleared away the cobwebs, take out your credit card and place an order for a Polar or Nike SDM. That's Speed and Distance Monitor. These are accurate to 97% even without calibration. But, oh, prepare yourself for a coronary: they cost a little more than the pedometer you got at McDonalds with your Happy Meal. Sorry.
