I have been using fitness trackers since 2012. I have had 2 1/2 trackers before the 3DTriSport. The first two were the same: Fit***, the first model out. I lost the first and then the second. The clip holder did not hold the device securely, or the two that I had, did not, and failed. They were accurate. The second was a Yam** E510 which just stopped working two weeks ago. It did not have a holder, and came with a very short lanyard, which I could not figure out its use. I did not have any problems programming either of these. I purchased the 3DTriSport based upon reviews, discounting those which had a programming problem. Right after I ordered I received an email from a customer support rep, giving me instructions, a training video and a telephone number to call if I had problems. The item arrived and the blister pack opened easily. Included was a clip holder and a two part lanyard, and instructions (I must have three sets right now. Programming was easy. The only mistake I made was in pulling out the plastic battery protector which started the clock. Thus was easy to correct. The clip holder seems robust and I have clipped it to my t-shirt collar, sock, pocket while exercising at my gym and it stayed put. I have placed the small part of the lanyard on the tracker and sometimes connect it to the longer portion and wear it around my neck while on a treadmill. That way it is easier to compare the distances on each. Now, the most important part: accuracy. I have tracked distance on a treadmill and the 3DTriSport about 7 times. It has never deviated by more than 0.02 miles. This is accurate enough for my needs. I have also tracked distance from my house to my gym and compared to Google Maps to the TriSport and again, never more than 0.02 miles difference. I also found that it tracks walking on stairs as well. This in accurate, well made, and quite a value for its price.

Okay, I’ll review the device but you may not like everything that I have to say. To start with, I like the device. It is small and unobtrusive and settings don’t easily get changed. It appears to be more accurate than the last pedometer that I had. The last one was larger and more ‘clunky’ and got settings easily changed and only worked from a belt/waistband location. I have not checked the previous one with this one in a side-by-side test but plan to do so in the near future Being able to get an indication of the number of steps from waist, pocket or lanyard is very convenient but the accuracy seems to be lacking for other than waistband. Accuracy from a lanyard averages 85 – 88% at best so that is good for generalization at best. Pants pocket location appears to be slightly more accurate than the lanyard but not much. I am constantly participating in cardiovascular rehabilitation due to an Aortic valve replacement. I exercise on 4 different exercise machines and walk on a treadmill. The treadmill readings are okay but the rest are total failures. An Airdyne gives no reading at all from waistband, pocket, lanyard or clipped to my shoe. The same holds true for 3 semi-recumbent pedal machines (Nustep, Sci Fit and Biodex). No readings at all from waist, pocket, lanyard or clipped to the shoe. I noticed the same behavior from an Elliptical Trainer. No reading at all. The only test on the Elliptical was done from the waistband position and may be associated with the multi-step error deletion (10 step error prevention feature). After completing an exercise session on the Airdyne or one of the semi-recumbent machines I noticed that it took a long interval before steps started counting again. This is a good feature actually, I’m glad that it is there but I wish that it was more accurate. It appears that this feature is applied every time you stop or at rest for 5 minutes or longer. When attached to the waistband it may take 40+ steps before it starts registering and only counts 10 to 15 steps at most so I’ve started calling it the multi-step error deletion feature. From a lanyard this deletion can be well above 40 or 50 steps (I lost track while trying to count the steps manually). Setup was a bit of a problem for me (small buttons and large hands don’t mix well) but that isn’t a big negative. I follow directions well so I just did a full reset and restarted and got through it in a matter of minutes. I do keep hitting the Mode button when attaching it to the waistband but that doesn’t seem to effect the accuracy or operation at all. That couldn’t be said of the last pedometer that I had. It would be nice to be able to upload the information to my computer, laptop or phone without having to manually enter it but that isn’t a negative, just a nice to have feature. Overall, I’d have to give you a thumbs up on this product. There are some things that I don’t care for but I don’t see them as being nearly as bad as those that have been related to me concerning the wrist wear style. Most of those that I’ve been told about wound up in the junk drawer gathering dust.

Pretty good if one is looking only for simple step counting. Useful since often a sport's watch is kept aside and normal wrist watch is used. The prodcut does what it says. Good built.

Review shall be after 1year

Excellent device, easy to setup and shows great info.

Yo camino con andadera y compré este podómetro porque consideré que podría medir mis pasos, y tampoco los registra.

I got sick of mucking around with fitbits and stuff that needed to sync with an app etc - this is back to basics and works great. I've been using it every day for months and have had no problems. Motivates me to get my steps in. Seems to be pretty accurate. I turned the unit around in the clip housing opposite to how it arrived, because I kept bumping the Mode button whenever I tried to squeeze the clip open. But if you just take it out and turn it around, the problem is solved.
