Unlike another reviewer whose review I read, I found this pedometer to be inaccurate.  It indicates many more steps than I actually take and is off by over a tenth of a mile in distance walked.  I was especially disappointed when I learned that a friend and his fiance had purchased a different pedometer (for the same price as I paid for this one) that records their steps and distance travelled extremely accurately, even though they are completely different in height/weight characteristics.  Moreover, theirs has a "talking" feature which tells them how many steps they have taken, etc. And, it looks nicer, with a black and silver case.
