Does it count how many steps you do in a day?

As noted, this is really for measuring your pace and distance when running/walking via GPS. It provides many features onboard and in conjunction with the Garmin website to track your progress. The battery died in ours and was too expensive to replace, so we now use the MapMyRun app. The free version gives us everything we need. We put it in an armband and off we go.

No, it's a GPS watch, not a pedometer. You could theoretically leave it running all day, and it'll tell you how many miles you've walked. But it's not just a step-counter; it tracks distance covered and time/pace.

You have to turn it on each morning, but it will count the total daily steps. Make sure you do not accidentally hit the watch on anything as it will change/stop the settings depending on which button is pressed.

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.

No need for that. In general, it does a very good job counting steps. It has a default stride length that works well if you're close to average height for your gender; if you're particularly tall or short you can set a custom stride length in the online profile that you can set.

It will count it as steps but it also picks up rigorous activities. You will have to sync it with your computer in order to view your stats. I love mine! I have it synced with myfitnesspal app. It keeps track of steps, calories burned, water in take, calorie intake, sleep, and you can set timers to remind you to move. It really is a great product. Only thing I don't like is that the hot pink doesn't stay hot pink long. I've had mine 2 weeks and already buying a black band because the pink looks dirty and I can't get it cleaned.

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.

You can manually add the amount of minutes of your activity (walking at a brisk pace eg.), but not the number of steps or miles. You can convert the number of miles you walk into minutes depending on your pace if you have to. I wear mine 24-7 clipped to a pocket, waistband or my bra so I'm never without it except when I swim or bathe.

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

It records aerobic steps when you walk at a pace of 60 steps per minute or greater for at least 10 minutes. These steps are also included in the total steps displayed as well as being displayed as aerobic steps.

You have to walk for 10 minutes continuously for it to track aerobic steps. The initial steps taken in that first 10 minutes will be included in your daily total.

Yes, it does. Also the date, how many calories you have burned, how many miles you have walked, how many more steps to meet your goal and how many steps you have taken each day.

Not sure..I stepped up to 40 mins so far. There is a auto timer that you push when you start and it measures your steps and how long you've stepped.

Mine counts every step I take. Sometimes I walk slowly, sometimes a little faster, and then other times I speed up and get the walking done as fast as I can. Counts every step. I know because sometimes I count as I walk and stop to check to see if it's still counting.

Unfortunately, no. It is on all day and night and the memory will reset (number of steps becomes zero) at midnight everyday. You can track the memory as far as the past 7 days.

Yes. The time and date. Also your steps. steps left to meet your goal for the day and also the calories burned.

Yes with the downloaded apps you can track how many steps you take throughout the day and they have a running app as well.

Yes, based on the number of steps and the step length that the user sets initially.
