Sportline 340 Strider Pedometer

Sportline 340 Strider Pedometer Review

I've used many, many pedometers over the years. I've tried pedometers whose prices have ranged from .50 to . Of all of these, the Sportline 340 Strider pedometer is the one I've liked the best. I like this particular pedometer because it's cheap and small doesn't make (too much of) a bulge under my shirt. Over the last five years I've probably purchased about five of these pedometers. It's not the fanciest pedometer, and there are some quality control issues, but generally it has worked well for me. Given the price, I think it's a good product. Just make sure to test your pedometer when you get it to make sure that it's not a dud.

Pros:
1) Small and discrete.
2) Very cheap.
3) Generally accurate if worn level on hip.

Cons (Major):
1) Sometimes the pedometer falls off when you pull your pants down or knock against it. After enough falls on a hard floor eventually the clip breaks off or the display stops working.
2) Occasionally a pedometer simply doesn't function properly. I've gotten probably five of these pedometers over the years, and one was clearly not counting steps accurately. The rest all worked fine when I got them, and continued to count steps accurately until I dropped them too many times and broke them, or lost them. I've never managed to keep one long enough for the battery to die.

Cons (Minor):
1) If you have a very thick belt, the clip may be too small.
2) The pedometer must be worn level, so it can't be placed in a pocket or purse, for example.
3) The pedometer doesn't reset to zero each day. Sometimes I forget to reset the step count and then I don't know how many steps I got the previous day.
4) No choice of color. You get whatever the manufacturer sends you. It may be black or bright red or blue.
5) It's not easy to see your step count without taking off the pedometer.
6) It doesn't have any sophisticated methods to discount false steps from hip movements due to standing up, jiggling, etc.
