Doesn’t take being dropped after awhile
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought the Walking Advantage Sportline pedometer. It took some tweaking to get it working for me. I went to the High School track and walked around a quarter mile till I got it set so it came out EXACTLY .25 miles. After that , I felt I could really trust the mileage.
I LOVE the Sportline model for the features, the Omrom does NOT have.
The Sportline times your actual walking. And stope shen you stop. Gives you a read out of MPH which I like.
Best of all, since I work nights, it does NOT roll over to 00 at midnight!
However, on the downside, I WISH it had a clip for extra security to secure it so in case it came off me, it would not fall and get broken. Mine came off during bathroom breaks and broke , and made me sick. I was wearing it for a 9 mile hike, and really wanted to measure that!
Otherwise, highly recommended for all the features it has.
Just Not Comfortable to Wear
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This pedometer will show your step count, your jog or hiking count, your steps per mile, jog per mile, calories burned, total miles traveled, and it can automatically cycle through the data. It also has an auto off to save battery life when your not moving.
I was so excited to get this one but when I put it on it was so uncomfortable to wear. The top of the clip is angled a bit towards your body and the very top part is not rounded so it digs in. Also, there are deep ridges that look like they are there for a secure grip when removing the pedometer from your waistline. These ridges dig in when I’m sitting and rub when I’m walking or running.
If you wear your pedometer on your belt then your clothing will protect you, but if you wear it on your shorts or if you don’t wear a belt this is probably not going to be very comfortable.
It’s too bad the designers didn’t think of comfort when designing the top of the clip because it shows a lot of info and it’s a nice compact size.
Great pedometer, but be careful…

The features of the Sportline 360 pedometer are great. It covers everything you want in a pedometer. Steps, distance, calories, time, speed. And more.
Why didn’t I give it more stars? I’m pretty hard on pedometers because I don’t just wear them during a walk around the block. I’m trying to hit a target number of steps everyday, so I wear it all the time. This lends itself to having the belt clip being damaged over time.
Normally replacing the clip isn’t a big problem. Order another from the company’s website for a few bucks and you’re back in business in a few days. With Sportline, they don’t sell parts. Uhuh. That means I had to ship my pedometer and broken beltclip back to Pennsylvania. I’m still waiting for the new replacement to come by Pony Express. I mean the Postal Service. Just be aware that if you break the clip you’ll lose the use of the unit until it can be replaced.
Other than that it’s a great unit and I love it.

hi , i purchased the sportline walking advantage, and gave it to a friend in florida for her birthday. when i asked her how she liked it, she told me it did not work. she unfortunately threw out the packaging. can you reimburse me or send another one?
it saddens me to know that she cannot use the gift i sent her.
thanks

Too many modes, confusing menus, uncomfortable to sit with
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I consider myself an experienced gadgeteer, but was baffled to figure out the menus on this thing. Sometimes you have to hold the button for 2 seconds, sometimes for 5 seconds. The mode button itself has multiple modes. The manual refers to the buttons by letter A B C not by their names, and guess what? The letters are not even in order! Then it has sharp edges which tend to dig into your skin when sitting down. And if you are over 280 lbs, the calorie counter feature will not apply to you as it has an upper setting limit of 280 lbs. As for how accurate it is, I cant say, as I cant figure out how to set the stride length, or how to have the display remain on the step count mode.
