I have a FitBit Flex and I have to make sure that I move my arms for the steps to count. So make sure you're swinging your arms, like you're walking. Not sure if all FitBits are like this, but my Flex is picky if I'm not swinging my arms.

No not at all. No need to enter your height or stride length either. You simply take it out of the box, set up your profile, clip it to yourself and start walking. It does count your steps fairly accurately.

I believe that it depends on how slow you walk. While volunteering in a classroom, I slowly walked around the student desks and noticed that it didn't register all my steps. I regret I can't be more specific. This was my only negative with the pedometer (other than it doesn't wash well!)

No, will not track as it works off of the swing of your arm movement. We were at Meyers this afternoon and it did not record hardly any of my steps. Figured out it was because I was holding onto the grocery cart and my arm was not moving. After I figured this out I controlled the cart with my right hand and allowed my left hand to swing free. It then started to record steps again. Possibly you could wear it on your ankle to record the equivalent number of steps. I haven't tried this but doubt it would be accurate.

It does not count steps, but it's great for walking & running. It tracks mileage and calories, and you can set intervals up as well.

Mine does count steps.. isn't that what a pedometer does. ? Haha or at least I assumed that was my steps it's counting ! lol.. I basically needed the watch for the heart rate monitor. Really all I can comment on is how accurate and good it is for that! :)

No. It is a simple pedometer with one button, a reset to zero steps. The "instructions" that came with it said it was sensitive to differences in walking and would adjust automatically. It has worked fine for me.

It does an estimated calorie count based on the amount of steps you take. It won't factor in any other activity.

All the Fitbits will count your steps and are simple to use. It just depends how much you want to spend on it. I love mine! Good motivator to keep moving.

My Fitbit One counted steps in the car too! Did you end up buying the Omron?

Hi Pam! No, this particular model doesn't tell you the time that you walked/ran. It gives you an all day total of steps, and how many miles those steps equals.

It will but not that well it will not be the same.I had one and i really just liked how well it counted steps i noticed it added to many for me on my bike

It certainly hasn't for me. In the past I've used pedometers and been highly annoyed that I accumulated hundreds of steps simply sitting down and watching TV. This one seems as accurate as I've ever seen. You may get a few steps registered while driving, but not many at all.

I cannot answer regarding the fitbit, but in case you're interested, it is very inaccurate compared to an ordinary pedometer. My old pedometer matches up closely to the pedometer on my new ipod, and I take both with me when walking for comparison. The SP tracker is way behind. I've been a member of SP for years and love the site, but I was very disappointed in the tracker and am returning it. Hope this helps you.

Yes. You get a day's total of steps. It also records what it terms "ex time" which I guess they mean is the amount of time you exercise.

No, the flex does not show the actual number (although the the fitbit Force does). The Flex just shows dots as a percentage of your daily goal. I am okay with it because if I want to know the exact number of steps I simply sync with my phone.
