Sportline Niteview Electronic Walking Pedometer 346

Pros: Good: Easy-to-read display, nice night-light feature, three easy-to-use buttons.
Cons: Bad: Inconsistent step counts. Therefore, not worth using.

There is a small slip of paper included with the instructions that mention calibrating the step count, which seemed like a good idea. The instructions mentioned a sensitivity control, which seemed like an even better idea. So I go to the track, count 100 steps, check the display. Make an adjustment. Count 100 steps, check the display. Make another adjustment. Getting boring, so go to 50 steps. Count 50 steps, check the display. Make another adjustment.

Getting suspicious. Don't mess with the adjustment, just compare 50-step counts. They vary _all over_ the place. From 18 to 45, but never 50 or more. Try different positions on my belt. No good. Try adjusting the sensitivity in increments from its minimum to maximum positions. No good. Give up in disgust.
