Pingko Outdoor Multi-function Portable Sport Pedometer Step/distance/calories/ Counter - Green

the clip came off my pants when I went into my pocket to get my keys. it fell of and hit the ground. there is now an audible clicking noise when it moves and it no longer counts accurately. What a piece of junk if it can't survive a 3 foot fall to the ground (at least once!). Cheaply made, bigger than it needs to be. Avoid this product unless you're going to treat it with kid gloves. EDIT: Pulled out the battery to see if that would help, put in a new battery and now it doesn't work at all.

To start, I was looking for a pedometer that did not require a smartphone app, that was not a watch, and didn't break the bank, particularly if it fell off my jeans and I didn't see it to retrieve it.The features of pedometer, calorie counter, distance walked (miles or km), and time clock are all very helpful and seem to do well. I compared it against a fitness wrist watch, (Fitbit of some sort I had borrowed) and it seems to be more accurate than the Fitbit. The Fitbit depends on arm motions to count steps, which means that the Fitbit may not count when your arms are stable pushing a cart/stroller, but the Fitbit may also count in error when you are standing relatively in one position (such as bagging groceries and primarily rotating at the waist, or working at an office table collating papers).I came to rely on the accuracy of my pedometer moreso than the Fitbit watch and the pedometer seemed to count my steps well. I came to appreciate the time clock feature as I normally don't wear a watch at work (I find myself working in a lot of water, sometimes with chemicals/cleaners/dirt). I was also able to earn steps for short walks that the Fitbit didn't always measure, like returning items close by to proper shelves.I did have a couple of issues with the pedometer resetting unexpectedly when I leaned against counters (moving to scan or bag groceries, for instance). I was sad that I lost the steps but I made some adjustments to how I wore it (waistband position) and checked on it more frequently to keep closer track of steps walked (in case it reset) and that seemed to help.About 3 weeks into using it I tried to tilt it up on my waistband to read it, as I had done many times before, and ended up snapping the clip and losing a couple of spring-type pieces that helped it clip (probably - I was in a dark environment at the time and relied on streetlights to find what parts I could). That was disappointing but ultimately my fault / mishap.I thought perhaps I would get an "upgrade" to a pedometer with cover, as I have seen them before. However, all the pedometers with covers I've found so far either didn't have the features of the Pingko (steps taken, calories burned, distance covered, time clock, which I had begun to appreciate); and/or weren't in my budget, and/or didn't have a lot of favorable reviews. So, I ended up buying a second Pingko pedometer, and we'll see how long the second one lasts before it has a permanent mishap.P.S. The Pingko had fallen off my waistband a few times prior, usually onto a hard concrete floor (from a height of about 33 inches) -- and made it just fine (still working). It was simply the way I tilted it that night, I think, that broke the clip.In conclusion - I am impressed with the features, the price point, the seeming accuracy, and -- gosh darn it absolutely -- the fact that I do not need a mobile app or a smartphone to use this. Whoo hoo! So I am buying another for now and then we'll reevaluate when needed.

Totally rewriting my review and cutting my 2 stars to 1. Zero if I could.I recently lost the pedometer I bought to replace this one when this one failed a minimalist test just around the house. I had tucked this in a box to go to Goodwill.But put this one on again, fixed to a strap that fits snugly around my ankle, and this time I went shopping. Parked in the farthest corner of the parking lot at each of 3 stores. In the 2 bigger stores I walked a haphazard course that including doubling back on myself: extra steps. After the 3rd store, I walked across the street to CVS to see if they had pedometers, must have checked every aisle - lots more steps - and left empty-handed. Checked this pedometer when I got home: all that walking for 85 whole steps on the pedometer!! I know from experience that that trip usually takes more like 2,200+ steps.Reset to zero, went for my walk. About 1.75 miles, usually about 5,000-6,000 steps for me depending on how much I slow down for traffic or dogs, feel tired, take big steps over puddles, etc, but for the most part it's an uninterrupted walk, 1 intersection and no stop lights. With this pedometer? 1,270 steps.So, it clearly doesn't work at all for me. I'm a bit mystified about why it ever registers a step at all, when it does, frankly.
