Advantages: Easy to use, calculates steps, distance and points, can adjust according to your statistics

Disadvantages: A little expensive

This pedometer tracks the number of steps you walk in a day, and the distance that you have covered. It also features a stop watch, and for those doing weight watchers, it will calculate the number of activity points that you earn in a day. You can adjust the settings for your height and weight, and even stride length, to allow for more accurate results.

I must admit, since wearing this every day, I have become much more active! Before you can earn "activity points" you have to walk enough steps to get to a healthy level. This varies for everyone, as it depends on your height and weight, but for me it is around 5,000-6,000 steps. I find that wearing it on my waist encourages me to walk around more, as I'm horrified to see that by 2pm I'm not "healthy" yet!

It is relatively small and straps to your waistband easily, and I have never had problems with it falling off (even when jumping up and down). It has made me so much more active. The batteries last absolutely ages as well, I've had mine almost a year and they've still not run out once!

The only real negative I can think of is that it is a little expensive, I think it is priced around £12.95 at the moment, and I know there are cheaper pedometers out there.

Summary: Great for those wanting to lose weight and get more active
