Oregon Scientific Pedometer and FM Radio - Color: Yellow

Oregon Scientific Pedometer and FM Radio - Color: Yellow Review

I bought this device one week ago and I like it a lot. It counts steps pretty accurately, I measured it three time and I got the following results: 401/400, 101/100 and 897/900. The first number is what it showed, the second what I walked. Basically accuracy at 1% or better, which is exceptional for this price. I use the least sensitive setting.


The backlight is very nice and by tilting the device a bit more one can see the display clearly at night. The clamshell design is also nice and practical, avoiding pressing buttons accidentaly (and resetting for example a day's steps).


Now, do not buy this device for the FM radio. The reception is pretty poor and the quality of sound when you get a signal is what you would expect from a device costing as much as this. Plus I guess it will deplete the batteries much faster than just the pedometer function. I do not know if the other device of the same company with the calorie meter uses the same mechanism, but probably it would be more practical and for the same price provide something more.


In conclusion, this device has a good price for what it gives, although there are accurate pedometers with less money that someone can buy, but definately do not seem as sturdy. Personally I like this device a lot and I highly recommend it (pending of course to see how long it will last as well as how long it takes to change batteries).
