I walk a fair amount with my job. Walking with patients, walking from one end of the hospital to the other to get to my office and the floor I work on and back. I also don’t get to sit too much at home most of the time. I’ve often wondered how many steps I actually take in a day. Also being that I work in a hospital they offer a lot of health incentive programs like the 10,000 steps challenge where employees can earn points for participating and trade in points for prizes. You have to have a pedometer for that or buy one from the hospital.
Ozeri 4x3sport Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer with Tri-Axis Technology and 30 Day Memory
, is pretty much the best pedometer I’ve ever used. To be fair, I’ve never used a pedometer this high tech before. The ones I’ve used in the past were pretty basic. You had to have them right at your hip or it wouldn’t count accurately. I could usually hear the gentle ticking sound counting my steps.
As you can see, the screen is digital and easy to read. This reading is in Step mode but it also records miles, calories burned, minutes of workout, and total steps. The bottom numbers is a clock, so when I took this picture it was 2:32 PM (and 12 seconds). It’s a light, slim design and easily fits into a pocket. It also has a clip to clip it on to your waistband, pocket, belt, etc. It has 30 day Memory so you can look back to see your achievements over the month.
The ease of use was great but what I found most impressive was the Tri-Axis Technology. I really didn’t know what that meant then I read the directions that said it works in any position. I wore it to work the first day. Initially I had it clipped to my pocket. It didn’t have that ticking sound like my old pedometers did. At first I thought it was working. Then I held it, sort of like Idid in the picture as I was walking down the hall to check it out. The steps were still counting even holding it out in front of me. When I stopped walking, it stopped counting. I thought this was super cool because my old ones, if I’d taking off to look at it, it stopped counting even if I was walking.
It comes with the clip that is removable if you’d rather just shove it in your pocket, a lanyard with a clip at the end you can attach, and a little screw driver so you can open it to replace the battery or whatever you might need to do.
Overall I was quite impressed with the pedometer. I couldn’t find a way to throw it off. It worked no matter how I was holding it and stopped counting whenever I stopped moving. Right now the Ozeri 4×3 Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer with Tri-Axis Technology and 30 Day Memory like mine is on sale on Amazon.
Wow. That definitely sounds like a great pedometer. I could actually use this because working at a hospital myself we have all those incentive programs as well. : )
