can I use it as a pedomemter also

nope -- this is for lap counting -- so like you are swimming laps and you want to swim 62 laps -- those are hard to keep up with -- this counter is excellent --- each time you reach a wall you push the button on the front and it counts "one" -- then "two" --- and on and on till you finish -- cannot see how this is helpful in running unless you want to count laps

No. This requires you pressing a button at the end of each lap to add to the count.

Lynda D. The only way you would be able to use the LapCounter for walking is you would have to tick off each & every step manually. That's why it works so well for swimming. I would suggest that for your walking to get a regular pedometer this time. But thanks for asking! I do hope this helps! Happy New Year!

It will not count your steps, like regular pedometers. You could use it to count laps while walking. You manually count the laps. I thought this counter had a timer as well as a lap counter. It doesn't. I misread the description. I since purchased another lap counter that has a timer. I use a regular pedometer to count my steps.

Yes. You can also measure speed and distance if used with the Polar S1 foot pod

Yes, you can most certainly set your own stride length. I hope you didn't throw away the instructions. (I'd have to go to my stash of those things to help you out.) Once you measure the length you are instructed to walk, use your own stride length and set the pedometer for the number of steps. If I remember correctly you can set miles or at least convert your steps to miles using the formula provided.

You can but it requires a third party app downloaded from the pebble App Store.

Depends on how you set the pedometer up. The one's we set up are for steps only. If you set it up for aerobic it will probably do both. Great pedometer. I ordered at least 50 for our senior group, who are in a little step/walking competition.

If you have a simple dirt path to train on, not rocky, not full of holes to walk around or take a long step over, no logs to climb over or creep under, no steep inclines that shorten your step, then Yes, you can use any pedometer. But a real trail, no.

Yes if you want to use the computer portion. I set up an excel sheet to track my walking.

Dear friend,When you open up the pedometer.The pedometer will work when you move.Thank you

I don't see why not. It is a "global" positioning system after all. Keep in mind that it doesn't show maps. It will only show the path you walked so you can retraces your steps as well as direction and distance to saved waypoints.

Yes, it is basically a pedometer with a simple computer and Bluetooth capacity for syncing.

I have not tried to do this although I don't see why you couldn't. It is not meant as a continuous monitor as you would find on a treadmill, though.

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! :)
273931
yes, you can. you have a choice of programs one of which is calorie based and one is distance based. if you choose the manual program you will also track both. this treadmill works really well...especially for the price

Agree with Sean. You would only be able to use the heart rate monitor functions of this watch. Polar sells a version of this watch with GPS accessory instead of foot pod but I have not heard good things about it. Polar's newer GPS devices are much more useful but not compatible with this watch. Only buy the foot pod if you plan on running only.

I suppose you can pair a foot pod to the 620 but I'd say it's unnecessary. The new 620 and its hr monitor are capable of calculating steps, cadence, speed, average ground contact and average stride lenght accurately without the need of a foot pod. Pretty cool!!!

Yes. It tracks steps, active minutes, calories burned and distance. You can input a stair em tracker, but I haven't done so.

I believe this works best when you can calibrate it for a certain stride length. Best for walking, jogging and running where stride is relative constant.
