Customer Reviews of Oregon Scientific PE316FM Pedometer with Radio
Customer Review: Great pedometer for the money invested
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprised to open this pedometer page after sometime and see all the negative reviews it receives. I have been using this specific model for more than 3 months now and I am really satisfied with it. It is really accurate (<1% declination, I have performed more than four tests of more than 400 steps during different times of its life and I have seen a couple of cheap pedometers performing much worse), clips firmly to belt or pants, displays the time conveniently and has nice backlight, even has a radio which works, although as most people said, not really its best feature. The truth is that I am not using the radio at all, mostly because I believe the batteries will last longer and it will save me from extra trips to Walmart. But I have tested it and it works, although nothing impressive there. Of course, for the money, I think you cannot go wrong with this pedometer.
One funny comment is that, although most people complain it cannot open very easily, after sometime it will open more easily that you think. Actually it has been a couple of times where putting a bag on my shoulders or a waist pouch and applying some pressure on it by mistake, will open it wide, so it does not count any steps. But it does not open by itself anyway, needs external force for this to happen, so it does not happen often.
All in all, I am sure that the plastic construction and the less than rigorous production testing will result in many pieces that do not function properly and will result in bad reviews. Maybe I have been lucky, maybe not, but this has been one of the best and most reliable devices that I carry and use every day. And a great incentive for walking and exercising more.
Description of Oregon Scientific PE316FM Pedometer with Radio
This tiny pedometer measures distance walked and time elapsed while you get to listen to the radio station of your choice. It also features a clock so you won't lose track of the time. The pedometer feels almost weightless clipped to your waistband.This sleek little pedometer calculates steps taken, distance covered, and time elapsed, so you can forget the numbers and just relax to the radio. Customizable for weight and stride length, the pedometer features dual motion sensitivity, so it's accurate whether you're jogging or walking. A motivating beep tone gives feedback about speed and can help pace the course of a workout. The FM radio activates when you insert headphones and includes a station scanner and volume control. Constructed with a waistband clip and a protective hinged case, the device is convenient, lightweight, and unobtrusive. The function buttons are a bit on the small side, but the LCD screen is surprisingly readable. As for extras, the 12- or 24-hour clock, 99-hour count-up timer, low-battery indicator, and luminescent blue backlight are great. Ear bud headphones are included. --Emily Bedard
