Customer Reviews of Oregon Scientific PE316PM Pedometer with Pulse Meter

Customer Review: This pedometer is great!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I read lots of reviews before I bought this pedometer. The pedometer I had was awful, and I wanted to find one that worked really well. The PE316PM got some great reviews from customers on several web sites, so I bought it. I have now used this model daily for over a year, and I love it! I would recommend it to anyone. If you set the motion sensitivity adjustment properly it is almost always dead-on accurate. Walk 100 steps, and it reads 100 steps. It has never been wrong by more than 1 step, plus or minus. Any inaccuracies experienced by other users are probably due to not setting the motion sensitivity (VERY IMPORTANT), not entering their personal weight (their HONEST weight) and stride measurement settings, or not wearing it properly. The instructions tell you how to do this, but you do have to READ the instructions carefully! The instructions indicate that there is a metric model as well as the one with miles and pounds, so the person complaining about the wrong type of measurements simply bought the wrong model. (That's not the pedometer's fault.) The instructions also tell you how to open the cover, which is easy enough to do if you use two hands as you are told to do. I'm glad it has a tight cover because my previous pedometer's cover constantly fell open while I was walking and then didn't count the steps I took when it was open. (A very easy-to-open cover is not necessarily a good feature!) The pulse meter works as well as any other pulse meter I've ever used, but it sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to read the pulse. I find varying the position and pressure of my finger usually solves that problem.

My pedometer has accidentally fallen on the floor several times, and it fell in water once. There was no damage to the plastic casing, even when if fell on a hard surface. (This can, however, turn off the display, and require resetting it. But this rarely happens.) It still works perfectly even after these accidents, and I put sticky-back Velcro inside the clip to make it hold better on my thin exercise clothing. It hasn't fallen off my waist since then.

I really like this pedometer. It has made a big difference in my exercise program. It is very compelling to see the number of steps go up and up as you walk farther and farther. It makes you want to keep walking to go on to the next round number, so you walk farther than you would otherwise. (You won't stop at 9,345 steps... you'll go on to 10,000. It's like wanting to see your car's odometer change to the next thousand miles.)

If you read the instructions carefully and set everything properly (including the motion sensitivity), then you should find this pedometer to be an excellent buy for the money. At under $20, if it has a problem after a couple of years, it's easy to just buy a new one. $10 a year to maintain your health is certainly worth it! I'm a very satisfied customer.

Description of Oregon Scientific PE316PM Pedometer with Pulse Meter

This light weight pedometer measures distance walked, number of steps taken, and calories burned. It also displays your pulse rate on the LCD screen when you place your finger on the optical sensor. The pedometer feels almost weightless when clipped to your waistband.
This lightweight belt-clip pedometer counts steps and checks your pulse--all in a unit about half the size of a yo-yo. Customizable for weight and stride length, the pedometer tallies up the steps taken to calculate distance covered and calories spent. With dual motion sensitivity, it's accurate whether you're jogging or walking. It also sports a finger-pad pulse meter that delivers readings in seconds, a 12- or 24-hour clock, and a 99-hour count-up timer. The clip-on hinged case is clever and strong, but the function buttons are a little on the small side. All the same, this device is convenient, lightweight, and unobtrusive. Oregon Scientific includes a low-battery indicator, a luminescent blue backlight, and printed instructions inside the lid. --Emily Bedard
